Love is the why and how


Love is the why and the how for the beginning and the existence of our universe.

We live for love, and we will die for lack of love.

Love is more important to us than other basic needs of food, water and shelter.

When we love someone with our entire being, we are willing to give our life for them. We won't sacrifice just food, water and shelter for our loved ones -- we will actually forfeit our life if it means that a loved one will live.

The scientific community has studies that have shown the damage done to infants when they are starved of their mother's love.

Countless stories will come to mind of the dysfunctions that ourselves and others manifest when there is a lack of love from those that we love.

Perhaps you have felt at times that life is not worth living without love.

Love is our core need and our core desire because we have been created by the source of love and the source of life. The source of love is God -- because God is love.

Art always reflects the artist. Creations carry the fingerprints of their creators. Life always reflects the creator of that life. Therefore, our life and our universe reveal the fingerprints of our creator.

What is this creator like?

This creator desires love. Just like we do.
This creator loves beauty. Just like we do.
This creator loves creativity. Just like we do.
This creator hates selfishness. Just like we do.
This creator hates injustice. Just like we do.
This creator hates evil. Just like we do.

The greatest and most unfathomable thing in our universe is love. It's a paradox to sacrifice our lives in a universe where our lives are all that it seems like we have. Love is the only thing that we love more than life.

This points to a creation and a creator that is
All
About
Love.

I believe that the only thing capable of bringing life out of nothing is something more powerful than life... this thing is love.

I believe that love is eternal. No beginning. No end.

For love to be eternal, it must be a relationship. Love can only exist within the framework of a relationship.

Jesus told us about this relationship. More on that later.
