Good morning Elect You asked ...What is love? Good question! ....Sort of like what is the meaning of Life? Answered a thousand different ways by a thousand different people. It reminds me of the time the US Supreme Ct. was asked to answer this question. ....What is pornography? Do you remember their answer...?? It was simple yet profound.! Do you remember? Brian you did not answer one question as to your brother. Can you even put a name and age to his soul? His tortured aching soul. You must have known at least that about him. I'll tell you what I know about him. He was always trying to please everyone. Always wanting and needing validation. He believed he had failed everyone in his life....especially those closest to him. He was ashamed of his life. He was once very good at what he did...very good. But his tortured mind would not allow him to continue at it. He was always looking for something better. He liked music...a lot, it was his private world. I think he even played an instrument...or aspired to. Probably had lots of books too. Maybe even did some writing...good writing. I think he even thought deeply about writing a book..or two. He was a gentle soul who just wanted credit for the good things he had accomplished. Maybe too much credit...that was a major flaw. He was a brilliant man though...yes above all, he was brilliant. His friends sometimes marvelled at his knowledge and wisdom...beyond his years.He loved people and loved being out with friends.More than that he wanted people to love him.... Always had a good joke or two. It was always known when he was around. He liked it that way too. He had one special love in his life...very special. Something he always hoped and yearned for. But his mind would not allow him to enjoy this new found love. He lived in the past. The past was his demise. He never saw himself in the future because he was so damn stuck in the past. He had thought about taking his life...for some time, a long time actually, longer than even you know Brian. Probably even attempted it once or twice. But they were just practice runs. He was always waiting for something or someone to change his mind. Yet somewhere deep inside he also knew he never would...."Give Me One Reason To Stay Here".....And I'll turn right back around!!! Ever heard it Brian. He did not believe he was loved... not really, not his vision of love! His distorted thoughts,his excruciating pain,and his pie in the sky expectations of, most of all, himself, all collaborated to finally bring him down. That special love in his life came, in his eyes, way too late. In the end Brian no one could ever have talked him out of it. It was his decision. He was in charge. And by God he was going to do it. He was going to show everyone. No matter how messed up it really was. Love Brian? Love was look on your brother's face the second he found himself in the arms of Christ. Love Brian? Love was the warmth, empathy, and welcome, Jesus gave your so lost and hurting brother. Love Brian ?....Love was the way Jesus held your brother's slouching,painful, hopeless body, as it fell into His loving arms. Love Brian? Love was the tears that Jesus wept.... even for your brother.! Love Brian? Love is the forgiveness and heart of God!! Shalom
