A friend of mine recently posted on her Facebook this quote from Nicholas Sparks:
"A guy out there was meant to be the love of your life, your best friend, your soul mate, the one you can tell your dreams to. Send you flowers when you least expect it. He’ll call to say goodnight or just cause he is missing you. He’ll look in your eyes and tell you, you’re the most beautiful girl in the world, and for the first time in your life, you’ll believe it."
It got me thinking...
She dreams of knowing this man's name.
She dreams of knowing this man's name.
She wants to meet him right this minute.
But she does.
And she can.
His name is Jesus,
and she can meet him right in her own heart.
Jesus is the love of your life.
He is your best friend.
He is your soul mate.
You can tell him your dreams,
and he will help you attain them.
He sends you graces when you least expect them.
He'll come to you in the night,
bring comfort to you when you are alone.
He misses you when you separate yourself from him.
Come to know him,
and he will show you that you are the most beautiful person in the world.
And for the first time in your life,
And for the first time in your life,
you'll truly believe it.
Jesus is the love of your life.
Any other love is just a physical manifestation of his infinite, divine love for you.
Once you have it, nothing will ever separate you from it.
Not even death.
Sounds like you had a "there's a homily in that somewhere" moment! Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteYes, exactly! Ha ha, it didn't even take any thought. I just said: "Hey! That's about Jesus!"
ReplyDeleteI love it when the Holy Spirit does that.
I don't know if you remember me, I'm David's Mom from Bartram Trail. We both read FC? Anyway, I just wanted to tell you I REALLLLY love this blog - keep up the good work ;)
