Lunch time, I was browsing through the slides presented by Fr. Stephen Cuyos, MSC during the FaithCasting seminar he gave in the JP2 Catechetics and Youth Ministry Conference in DBTI Makati two weeks ago. Got stuck with one of the slides presenting the True Love Waits portal. I didn’t hesitate to pay a visit and realized how worthwhile it is. With a few minutes of stay I gained much insight and inspiration which moved me to write this post. Hay…
Love, I believe, is one of the most used and abused word. Much definitions are attributed to it. Thus, we are left with a crowded vista of love. We are as if looking through the woods, uncertain of what is before our eyes. Instead of seeing the big picture, stunning dazzle of light, we see glimpses, blinding flashes and streaks of that which is bright. What is love? How do we define love? Where do we find real love?
All I know is Deus caritas est - God is LOVE. Looking for love? See God. But one doesn’t need to look far for EMMANUEL - He is with US. He is in the midst of our relationships, He lives within our hearts. He is just there, waiting, patiently, faithfully, unconditionally - waiting… Waiting to be heard, to be seen, to be recognized.
I am a witness to HIS unfailing love. I appreciate much the Eucharist, I love being in the confessional. My God offers his life for me, shuns away all my short comings no matter how grave they may be. I often deviate from Him, deny Him, forget Him, leave Him, doubt His WORD, His call, His presence. Yet He is still there, waiting… just there, smiling, waiting for me to come and embrace Him and be enveloped once more by His exceeding grace.
God who created all of us is LOVE. We sprung out of love. We search for love in places away from ourselves; thus, we find the love that this world know rather than the love that is within us - the true love that would never stop waiting waiting waiting…
Looking for true love? Look within, see the light, clarify your path, listen to your heart whenever you are ready to do so… LOVE’s just there… waiting.
