God is Light and Love.
Why is God Light? Because Light illuminates, in the darkness. Light beckons. Light evokes a brighter more vibrant way of Life.
And why is God Love? Because Love unleashes Life. Love provides a Way for a better Life. Love sacrifices to ensure the greater Life of His or Her children.
But if this is so, if God is Light, why is there Darkness?
The Darkness gives greater brilliance to the Light.
The Darkness can enhance our choice between Darkness and Light.
And if God is Love, why is there Hatred?
Love allows for Hatred, in His midst.
Love calls Hatred into Her own arms.
God is Light and Love, and so we have been given the choice.
Light, or Darkness?
Love, or Hatred?
And if we should choose Light, Love has provided the Way.
A greater Way; a better Way.
The Way of Christ, with all of its cost.
For the best kind of Life rightly demands our all.
