Love

If there is but one thing I have learned throughout my life it is this: love is the only thing worth living for. Money, cars, computers, TVs, and everything this world holds dear is but ashes in the wind. I have seen the gates of Heaven and Hell and the only thing that I have experienced at both is the indescribable love of Jesus. I am but a sinner saved by an amazing grace that I cannot begin to understand. I have lived a life of sin and shame deserving of the crucifixion and more. I have but one hope: that this life is only the beginning and one day I will see Jesus face to face. Heaven could be made of dirt but as long as Jesus is there it would be worth every ounce of suffering to get there. I pray every day that I could come home, but for some reason He delays. My soul longs for the love of my Father. I have tried as hard as I could to show my love to my family, my church, and my girlfriend but failed on all counts. Thank God we have a Father who loves us no matter how far we fall. Though my stomach groans, my heart aches, and my soul tires, I am His to the end. May this suffering bring glory to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
