“There are three things that will endure — faith, hope, and love — and the greatest of these is love.” I Corinthians 13:13 NLT
As a child I learned the cheerful song that ends, “God is love, God is love!” As I grew up I became even more aware of the very nature of God’ essence as love. It really is that simple. Theologians may weave intricate explanations in an effort to grasp particular aspects of the relationship between creation and Creator. But ultimately I have found more understanding comes from an open heart.
I would not be the first to say our pets see their owners as god-like creatures. I think a better description would be we find in them the type of adoration we should show to our Master. Day in and day out my dog demonstrates how I should soar up to God, jump into His arms, and adore Him in an eternal moment.
Ultimately, this is my desire: to free my heart from earth-bound oppression so that I may open my eyes and heart to God’s love.
Create in me a clean heart, O God, which I will lift up to you in thankfulness and praise.
