For God So Loved The World

from Launch Out Into The Deep

Have you ever wondered what the first step towards a deeper, more meaningful life is? Well, in my opinion, it all starts with discovering the Lord's love for us!As David Brooks wrote in his Road To Character book:"Love is like an invading army that reminds you that you are not master of your own house…When you are in love, you can’t stop thinking about your beloved. You walk through a crowd and you think you see her in a vaguely familiar form every few yards. You flip from highs to lows and feel pain at slights that you know are probably trivial or illusory. Love is the strongest kind of army because it generates no resistance. When the invasion is only half complete, the person being invaded longs to be defeated, fearfully, but utterly and hopelessly."Discovering the Lord's love for us sets us on a journey towards depth. It helps us dig deeper into our own hearts and souls and explore the depths of our faith and spirituality. So, if you're looking to embark on this journey towards depth, start by seeking the Lord's love for you.Read his love letters (The Bible)! He has got a lot to say to you.-Links-For Alain de Botton TV Conversation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFCsLSGPLMkFor Father Daoud Lamei Servants' Meeting (The Lord's Love): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7XVFW8AAKsFor Paul Kingsnorth Essay "The Cross and the Machine": https://www.firstthings.com/article/2021/06/the-cross-and-the-machineFor St Augustine Confessions: https://www.amazon.com/Confessions-Modern-Library-Augustine-ebook/dp/B01LXSRK0M/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=
