It is IMPOSSIBLE for God not to love,
for His love is boundless,
reaching every corner of creation,
for creation itself was born from the whisper of His breath.

He loves with a love that transcends all human understanding, whether one strays or walks the path of righteousness.

His love knows no religious bounds,
for He loves humanity not for their beliefs,
but because love is His very essence.

He loves the Jews,
cradling them in His eternal embrace,
He loves the Palestinians,
watching over them with unwavering care,
because He loves the one,
each one is His beloved creation.

He doesn’t condone war,
for His heart aches at the sound of conflict,
He doesn’t cherish hatred,
for His love is a beacon of pure light.

I have felt the tender heartbeat of God
over the Middle East this week,
weeping for the children who’ve suffered and perished in the fires of war,
for the families torn asunder,
For the women held in the cruel grip of darkness.

I keep choosing to see His heart’s desire for heaven on earth,
where the one new man stands united,
not divided,
with one heart,
one God,
one love.

This day will surely come,
the day of the one new man,
where every eye will behold His face,
all will bow in humble worship,
love will reign supreme,
In that very moment,
tears of joy will wash away the pain,
and humanity will embrace the pure, boundless love of God as ONE.

“Delightfully loved ones, if he loved us with such tremendous love, then “loving one another” should be our way of life! No one has ever gazed upon the fullness of God’s splendor. But if we love one another, God makes his permanent home in us, and we make our permanent home in him, and his love is brought to its full expression in us.”
1 John‬ ‭4‬:‭11‬-‭12‬ ‭
