WHAT IF.....?
What if everyone's life was like a universe? Each person's life was a whole universe all to it self. And what if every time that person touched another person's heart with love.... a single, shining star lit up and twinkled brightly some where in that person's universe. Once it was there... it stayed and lasted for an eternity... glowing it's bright light for all to see... never ending.... never changing. And as this person continued through life.... more and more stars began to fill their universe. Soon the hundreds, and thousands, and millions, and billions, and zillions of brightly shining stars filled their universe in all directions... so that everywhere you looked... there were little shining points of light which stood for the love that person felt for another single person... somewhere out there in life.
What if all of our souls were like little stars that shown brightly, and filled God's universe? What if God saw the beauty in the love that he had for us... and He said,
"I want to let each of my beautiful shining souls be able to know and feel the greatness of this same love?"
What if God then created a special place for His souls to go and learn... a place where there was good and bad, and everyone there had the chance to learn about LOVE, and how great and beautiful it is. And what if God decided that He wouldn't force any of his beautiful souls to learn the greatness of the love He felt, but instead let all of His souls live together in this single, small place He had created for them... and allowed them to choose and do as they individually wanted? What if God knew that "when" His souls had discovered the same Love He felt for them, then it would begin to light up their own heavens with brightly shining stars... and they too would learn to value and appreciate the beauty of this Love He felt for all of them.
What if God placed his beautiful souls, one at a time, in this special place He had created for them, and then watched them and loved them as they slowly began to learn about LOVE? And what if God put His own shining star to brighten and warm the day in this special place, and then each night when this place became dark, God would allow his beautiful souls to look up into the heart of Him, and see all the shining points of light that was His love for each of them? And what if even when clouds or rain covered God's shining love during the day, or the zillions of points of light during the night, their light still shown on... never dying... never changing... never going away?
And what if God spoke to His souls, and said,
"No love I have is greater for one than the other. I love all my shining stars the same, and so each of you should love one another the same. Go and love one another... and know the beauty of LOVE."
And what if with in this place that was made for God's shining souls, good and bad things would happen... and some souls would suffer, while others found comfort? What if some souls would become hurt or sick, and some would even die... but the love that God felt for them would always allow their soul to shine on brightly in His universe? What if they were never really lost at all? What if God's beautiful souls would come and go from this special place He had made, but the love he felt for each of them is what kept them all alive... shining brightly... all around Him in His universe?
What if the next time you look up into God's heart at night, you feel the beauty of the Love He has for all of us? And what if you see your shining point of light that is God's love for you? What if, in that moment, you realize "why" God chose to put you here? What if you suddenly realized that it had nothing to do with your job, or home, or how successful you were while you were here in this special place God had made for you? What if in that instant you realized it was ALL about finding the beauty of Love.... and of how many shining stars of love you could fill YOUR heaven with? What if you realized that no matter what you did in this small place you were in, you had been created as, and would always live on as, a bright and shining star of love to God? And as well, you would live on as a shining star of love to all those other souls who had learned the beauty of love... to all those other shining souls of God who had placed you as a shining star in their universe too?
What if you suddenly realized WHY you were really here... and what it is really all about? What if you suddenly began to fill your heaven with millions and zillions of brightly shining stars?
What if....?
Guess what, my brothers and sisters?
YOU twinkle beautifully in MY heaven.
LOVE truly RULES
