Soul Snack 148/10 ... Dreams delivered
A very winsome smile set her tender heart aglow. This unsolicited beam seemed so unusual. Her eyes, now wider and deeper than the Grand Canyon, looked up to love.
A seemingly tall figure she had longed to meet, now stood beside her. His outstretched arms invited embrace. This required only one child's step forward.
Her ruffled hair, pink eyes and damp cheeks were outward evidence to an inner distress.
Receiving His attention and standing in His presence was more than she even dared hope for.
Her love of Him had long colored her black world. He now knelt beside her. She so willingly stepped into His embrace. Heaven held this unloved child on earth. Unseen, these arms had upheld her, all her brief and troubled life - now they would envelope her forever.
To feel the hold of Heaven is to be released from the hurts of earth.
If the welcome of this world has eluded you, please don't worry because you were not made for this world.
The LORD is close to the brokenhearted
and saves those who are crushed in spirit. (Ps 34:18)ENJOY another Soul Snack:%page_flip%

Soul Snack 147/10 ... The Search for Reason
Grasping at life's vagaries, I seek understanding. This inexorable search for reason has laid claim to man since the primitives.
The Egyptians, the Greeks and the Romans each sprinkled their own spices of intellectual flavor and scent upon this world. The Assyrians, the Babylonians and the Persians all swelled the sophistication of the Ancients' body of knowledge. The thirst for knowledge is never satisfied, it multiplies unabated to this very day.
There is something much higher though, than the quest for understanding. In the gaining of understanding there is weariness (Eccl 12:12), but in the reception of love there is much refreshment.
Complete understanding can never be gained. Many may pursue this, but none will succeed. In seeking the foundations of the universe, the very glue of the universe evaporates.
While we seek the whys of life - the hows of life eludes.
So how does life work - life works through love.
Love is the glue of the universe, the yeast of grace and the breath of salvation. Love is God, alive in me.
In the search for reason to gain life, we can actually miss life.
In the search for reason to gain life, we can learn much, but miss much more. For reason to life is found in love.
These three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. (1 Cor 13:13)
