Sometimes this world can be a frightening place, but it is not even close to what it would be like if God completely removed Himself from us. Do you even realize that anything in this world that could be called good comes from God?
Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. (James 1:17)
You may think that I’m asking you to imagine a world where hundreds if not thousands of things were removed from it. Actually, I’m only talking about removing one thing…. Love. Without love, there is no ‘good’. Your relationships; the good deeds one person does for another; the very reason to wake up and get out of bed in the morning; these all point back to love as the source.
The reality, of course, is that we would not be here without God. The reality also is that He made each of us, and in His Graciousness, we have been imparted with a sliver of His Love in this otherwise dark world. When it’s all said and done, love is all that matters.
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. (1 Corinthians 13:13)
