What a idea.. Not really something I can wrap my brain around.. Sure I love my family , my friends my boyfriend but the thought of loving those people until the end of time is hard for me to grasp. I like to have a end date to things, I like the structure. I always envision the end of something before its beginning.. That's probably my father issues rearing their ugly head. However that is a topic for another day as well as a expensive therapy session. Back to my original thought, Everlasting love;I was sitting in the adoration chapel this afternoon reading Bishop Sheen's book on Christ life , the first chapter talks about Christ's love for us. I have to admit reading it and being able to understand is like having a elephant sit on your chest. The pressure you then assume because you understand how much He loves you even without fully understanding is astronomical. I quickly closed the book and decided staring at the Eucharist and trying to talk to God was a better option.... This is where God's wonderful sense of humor comes in.. As I sat there talking, thinking, praying I had a song stuck in my head. To most this is not a big deal, it happens daily. The kicker here is what song.. I have not heard this song in months maybe even years but as I sat there looking up at God asking Him to help me figure my life out, be a better person, love more, help more, hear Him more, asking for the answer to how to do all those things all I could hear was "Stop right there!
I gotta know right now!
Before we go any further!
Do you love me?
Will you love me forever?
Do you need me?
Will you never leave me?
Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life?
Do you love me!?
I gotta know right now
Before we go any further
Do you love me!?
Will you love me forever!?
Let me sleep on it
Baby, baby let me sleep on it
I gotta know right now, Do you love me? Will you love me forever?"
Meatloaf streaming through my brain and the slight chuckle of God's laugh somewhere off in the back ground.....
