Love is a mystery, yet no human life can live fully without it. Find me a miserable person, and I’ll show you someone who has no love. No matter how much we may try to deny it, we’re made to love. Love our fellow man; love our Lord, love life itself. Love something! We need it as badly as we need air. I was no different, and my path to love was uncertain. God’s way required patience, and a lot of waiting, but I didn’t mind. I had nothing but time.
To stay uplifted, I tried to focus more on the love I had then the love I’d lost. It helped and each day was infinity better than the last. Sure, maybe the kind of love I wanted wouldn’t arrive today, maybe not even tomorrow. But when I crawled into bed at night it was the “hope” of love that kept me warm.
Will there be a day when I can utter the words ‘I love you’ to another? For the moment, the idea seems far-fetched but I knew better. All I had to do was look in the mirror to see exactly how much God loved a challenge.
