HIS LOVE.... REACHING

                                       His Love........... Reaching
                                               by Gloria Gaither

Right from the beginning God's love has reached out to us, and right from the beginning man has refused to understand.
But the love went on reaching, offering itself.
Love offered the eternal................................we wanted the immediate.
Love offered deep joy...................................we wanted thrills.
Love offered freedom...................................we wanted license.
Love offered communion with God Himself........we wanted to worship at the shrine of our own minds.
Love offered peace.......................................we wanted approval for our wars.

Love went on reaching. Even after two thousand years, Christ is reaching out to us today. Right through the chaos of our world, through the confusion, He is reaching......longing to share with us.....the very being of God.  The Word of the Father became Mary's little Son. And His love reached all the way to where we are right now.
