Sitting in a field, I let my fingers gently caress the sides of the seed-feathered top of a stalk of grass.  So soft, fragile, yet standing tall, pulsing with life.  Then I look around and I see it is but one among many, blowing together as a gentle breeze rolls over the field.  Each stalk of grass is unique, individual, yet they all move together, breathe in the sunlight, share the dew.  They are all separate, yet beneath the surface, they are all connected, rooted together in the earth, living with the same Song of Life that connects all things.

So many of us feel alone.  We have a giant hole in our hearts, longing to be filled.  We feel trapped, cut off from everything and everyone.  So, we look for love.  We need Love.  We can love everyone, but we always have that need for One.  In our lives rooted together in the earth, our hearts are broken, our souls bleed with fear.  If we do find one love, the gift of being able to feel, and we loose it, fear and grief bleeds a hole right through us again.  Sometimes we close our hearts because we feel too much.  Sometimes we open it wide and let it all out until we can no longer feel.  Some of us don't want to love because it hurts.  Some of us want to love everyone, because it heals.

God called us to love each other, to love everyone.  Yet we long to give our hearts to only one.  That one is the Love we need and that One is Jesus.  God is Love and only through Him can we love anyone.  He is the One that connects us all together, allows us to love each other as one creation, praising Him.  Life sings because it is alive.

Two people can be married for years, share everything in touch, and still feel separate.  We can do good deeds for years, and still feel separate from God.  The Cross was the Bridge.  Jesus, the Word (John 1), connects us to God, being God, just as He connects each of us and all life together, as His creation.

In your darkest hour, as your heart cries out and your soul bleeds, when fear takes over and you mourn for losses you don't even understand, call out the name of Jesus and He will comfort you, weep with you, and hold you, heal you with Love.  Even then, if you doubted Love through your life, you will finally believe, for you will finally truly Feel.
