Two

What number reminds us that we are never alone?

Blessed to have two feet on the ground and strength to stand. Blessed to have two hands to type right now, and use them to meet so many other basic needs. Blessed to have two eyes to see the beautiful surroundings, and blessed to hear the nuances and sounds that my silly dog produces. He is currently curled up next to me while I type. Thankful to have a husband, a friend, thankful for companionship. Two is a profound number. It is the number that reminds us we are never alone, for

He is always with us.

I have witnessed so many amazing speakers over the past two weeks that have really hit home the truth that there is an Almighty Father God. I wish I could share all of these words with you this day. I did take a few notes yesterday in reflection after reading some inspiration written by Ray Stedman. He said, "To be reunited with God often times requires us to experience pain and toil, sorrow and loss, stumbling and failure, falling and forgiveness, and even death--but incredible glory waits at the end of that road." You see, this world will pass away. We will all leave this world behind.

God wants us to hold onto hope, because He has a world that awaits us where we will spend eternal glory with Him and Jesus, Our Savior. Again there are two worlds, one of non-truth and daily challenges and one of glory, acceptance, love and peace where daily challenges will no longer exist. We will be united with the One true God. He has predestined us, all those who have at least a mustard seed size of faith. to join Him for eternity.

The common need that every human longs for is LOVE. Every single individual seeks and wants to be loved. God is love. He created us in love, and that love never fades. God requires two people to come together to create another life. That is how love grows. God values love.

God’s complete desire is to gift us with love. All things He works together for good, because He loves us. He longs for us to be reunited with Him for eternity in love. Some truths about love: love gives, loves receives, love compromises, love is patient, love is kind, love never fades...

If God is One, and we are one that equals TWO... Love well! This is a commandment. We are called to love.
