It may sound cliché to say love conquers all, but nevertheless it’s an unwavering truth.

You love yourself. So you go out into the world to work, interact with people, and buy the things you need to eat, sleep, and be comfortable. You love your kids. So you make sure they have food, clothes, and a safe roof over their heads. You love your parents. So you visit them to see if they need anything.

Love helps you conquer the unknown. Love helps you to help others. And love is the only “thing” in all of existence that grows in you as you give it away.

Hate might conquer the day. Or the country and its populace. Or even the world one day. But it doesn’t conquer all. And it won’t last forever.

Only love conquers all.

Love is what created this planet. Love is what made the green trees, grass, and herbs of the fields. And love designed an atmosphere ideal for both plants and creatures. Love made sure that both the intake of oxygen and the exhale of carbon dioxide would occur and be optimally functional.

Love planted a paradise with an open door and then made a way for us to enter in again after we so foolishly walked out.

So, love understands our exercises in futility and yet stands waiting with open arms to comfort and reassure us.

And…

…love does not exist apart from God.

He risked it all when He gave us our own will. Yet, being the master planner, calculator, and designer…God knows some of us will choose to love Him in return. He’s willing to give His love to everyone who ever lived for the sake of the relatively few who’ll respond to it.

If you’re one of those who simply won’t believe until you’ve actually seen…

…one day you will. Everyone will. The Creator of the universe and everything in it will come back to Earth, cast aside the rulers of this world and of darkness, and show once and for all…

…true, living, everlasting love conquers all.

Stay tuned…
