Evidence of Love

The point of almost all the movies that you may have seen is that:

Love wins. Goodness wins. Faith wins.

If you find a place where there is no evidence of love,

love is not winning.

If you are working for a place where people don't take care of each other, and of you,

love is not winning.

If you have a relationship where people just sit in the same room, drink coffee, pass the milk politely and eat their toast,

love is not winning.

If you are in a relationship where you can't let yourself go and dump all of your burdens,

love is not winning.

If you haven't let someone else dump their burdens on you once in a while,

love is not winning.

If you haven't given your kids a hug in quite a while,

love is not winning.

It doesn't have to be loud.

It doesn't have to be messy.

It doesn't have to result in arguments.

It certainly can.

Violence certainly is not required.

But if there is nothing going on,

love is not winning.

Love can lose out in the short term,

but it never loses in the end.

Let love win in your life.

It's up to you.

You don't have to wait for someone to give it to you.

It's up to you.

You can move mountains.

It's up to you.

You can solve unsolveable problems.

It's up to you.

You can't bring back the dead.

But you can bring back the living.

It's up to you.

You don't have to do it alone.

You can have help any time you need it.

You can get an army of help if you need it.

You just have to ask.

Ask for it, and hope, and have faith.

Don't ask quietly inside yourself.

Ask out loud.

Ask your mother, your sister, your boss, your friend, your neighbor,

the stranger in the street, the man you left behind,

the friend that you haven't seen in 20 years,

your father,

your teacher,

your pastor,

your doctor.

They will all help.

You have to ask.

Not just once sometimes.

You have to keep asking.

But ask with all your heart

and then nothing can stand in your way.
