Love is like a light
What does love have to do
with finding a life purpose? Perhaps the importance of love in finding a life
purpose is far more significant than you realize, at this time. Maybe
you, like many other people, are just wandering through life. It
is like existing in a dark, empty void or roaming around in the wilderness, with
no apparent direction. You are entering and exiting through the various
channels and challenges of life, but you are not really going anywhere or doing
anything that has any purpose, meaning or significance. Maybe you are lost in
life's maze. It is like living a life of mere existence and nothing else.
The days come and go. Weeks and
months pass by, without you having anything to show for the time that is
fleeing. Years fly by and life still has no apparent meaning. It is like trying
to find your way in the shadows of darkness, prior to the dawn, as you stumble
on the rocks and branches that strewn across the pathways of life, which seem
to go nowhere in particular.
All of a sudden love enters the
picture and your whole world seems brighter.
"Why is that so?" you
might ask.
Consider the following thoughts
about love for a moment.
Love is like a brilliant light
that suddenly bursts into our lives.
It is as if the sun has somehow
risen on the horizon and begins reflecting and radiating the fullness of its
beautiful rays, into our lives. Dawn breaks up the darkness of the blackest
night with its sheer brilliance. Love works that way, when it miraculously
appears in our lives.
Love is like a white light that
brings color into our world.
Instead of the darkness of the
night, with its interplay of various shades of black and gray, there is the
full spectrum of life's color that can be found in the color white. The
awakening of love is akin to walking out of a dark tunnel into the full light
of the noonday sun. All of the shadows are dispelled, as the colors begin to
bounce around. We need the entire spectrum of the colors found in white light
to brighten our world. We all need love in our lives. .
Love is like a beam of light
that helps us to focus on our world.
In the lingering fog of early
morning, focusing on anything specific in the distance is difficult.
It seems as if everything is glazed with a mist of non-distinction. In its own
way, this has a certain degree of beauty, but even the mountain range in
the distance is not visible to the naked eye. How can a person get to the
mountain range, unless one knows where it lies? Can one see the mountain peak
before there is some kind of a light that reveals it? The beam of light
originating from love, helps us to find that mountain peak. It even challenges
us to climb it.
Love is like a dynamic light
that generates fresh energy and excitement in our lives.
There is something about light
that brings forth the desire of grass to grow, a flower to blossom, a bee to
collect honey and a hummingbird to sip nectar from a honeysuckle. Love does
that to us. It energizes us and invigorates us. It triggers our spontaneity and
causes us to interact with others.
Love is like the full spectrum
of light that colors our lives, like an artist painting a rainbow.
The colors of the rainbow are
soft, gentle, pastel colors with the intimacy of perfection, as they transition
from one color to the next. Suddenly, we apprehend the beauty of nature in rainbow colors, all
around us. Looking closely, we can find every possible color
that there is in our world, when we look through the eyes of love. It causes us
to marvel at creation.
Love is like a revealing light
that awakens the mysterious elements in our lives.
What has long been concealed or
hidden in our thoughts, feelings and hearts is immediately aroused, as the
penetrating and revealing light of love enters into our realm of discovery.
Curiosity is aroused, as we seek to explore our inner and outer worlds. Love
brings us into touch with reality, gives us the courage to explore life fully
and even to seek God.
Love is like a light, but more
importantly, it gives us a purpose, a reason to live. Focus on love. Love is
your purpose in life.
