Breaking Down To Build Back Up - Love Can Heal All Things

April 9, 2014 - PRLog -- By: Kenneth Stepp

Have you ever wondered why life is so hard? I certainly have. Why do I have to learn all of the lessons life has for me, through pain? You see. I never learn while I am winning. And, I have never met anyone that has. Are we destined to endure before we enjoy? These thoughts do not run through my head, they have jet packs on.

I am an over thinker. There, I admit it. They say that is the first step to beating an addiction. I haven’t heard of Over Thinkers Anonymous though. So, I’m not sure that applies in this case. I’ll think about it non stop for a few hours and come back to it over and over again. This is how my feeble mind works. And yes, I was dropped on my head as a child.

Inspiration has been plentiful today. And on a day that this occurs, I have to think about a few issues that plague most everyone. Emotional pain and what is love. These are the queries that broadside me when my heart and mind open at the same time. Try as I might. It does happen sometime. In spite of my valiant efforts to squash them.

Love, or at least real, unconditional, limitless love. Always comes with pain. It’s as if they are partners or something. You would think I would see love coming and duck. Nope. Not me. I open my arms wide and embrace it. And do you know why? Because this time is different. I just LOL’d. You should have as well. I’m a science guy. In science if you can reproduce something over and over again. That proves whatever it was conclusively. In love however. It still does, but we can’t comprehend that until we are in pain. Go figure. I believe I have proven that the onset of love lowers the IQ by half. Prove me wrong. I LOL’d again.

Us humans are wired to desire, and search for love. I believe that with all of my damaged heart. Why else would we continue on this vicious cycle? It’s like diving head first into a tree chipper. You should know what’s going to happen. But if you are doing it. Obviously you just can’t grasp the concept. Plus most tree chippers are very attractive to men. Some even have John Deere stickers on them. So, I get that.

To jump back to the serious side for a moment. I believe that real love. Not third date “I love you” stuff. I mean the kind that never dies, doesn’t see faults, and causes trust where none existed before kind of love. I believe it has the power to heal every hurt. To cleanse the cobwebs from our hearts and inject us with life saving power to live on yet another day. It heals all things. The power of love is a power that is universal. When it exists, it really will be alright. I grew up hearing, “God is love”. I actually believe that now. Unlike as a child when I was told to accept it because I “was suppose to”. I have lived it and know now. So, continue your journey if you haven’t found it. Hold on with all you have if you have it. As long as it is there. Life rocks. If not. Enjoy the quest as best you can. Hug a lot, smile every chance you get, and for goodness sakes. Be yourself.
