Even with all I have lost in this life I still believe in love. Even when love seems silent, I believe in love. Even if God seems silent, I believe in Him for He is divine love, manifested to us in His Son Jesus Christ.[1] He abides with me.
So too, my experience with human love has proved that it remains even after death and time.
My father has been dead or 45 years, yet a candle of love for him burns bright within my heart. I trust I will see my father again, within my final joy with Christ.[2]
My love for my wife, LaRee, dates back to childhood. We have been married more than 40 years. God blessed our marriage with love and it deepens with the passage of time.
She gave birth to our two children who were loved by God from before their conception and by LaRee and me since the day we discovered we would have them. Our children have always been loved and they return love to us.
Now, we have five grandchildren. Love grows exponentially. I may be a loser by material standards. If I lose my possessions or even my life, love still abides because Christ abides and He is the source of my love.
Yes, even when He is silent, His love abides.
