What is the reason,
The meaning behind life?
What causes its movement,
What makes it come alive?
Nature is a sacred text,
Pages with the deepest truths.
And beyond all outward forms
Lies the secret place of wisdom.
Galaxies roam the universe
Waves flow from shore to shore
Trees seek the heavens
The moon rises at night, why?
The answer is simply Love
All of this, my friend, is in the name of Love
~Edited excerpted passages from the book,
FINALLY BACK HOME, by
Irfaan Ihsan Jaffer
If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing. ~1 Corinthians 13:1-3 ✝

For me, the answer to every question posed in this is God. He is the cause of all and we have the glorious gift of living in the affect.

For me too!. And we are absolutely right, which is exactly what Ishan was getting at. That’s why he capitalized Love. Scripture says God is love and so He is. Hugs, N 🙂 ❤
