They say that humans are social creatures, we rely on one another. In family, with friends, and in business, we put our faith in others. But a loving family can soon become a broken home. And friends will talk behind your back. And at work people only look out for themselves. I've lost all faith in these social creatures.
In the land of the free, there's a lot we can hope for, a blessed people we are indeed. But for most, all they have to hope for is a good retirement, fame, or world peace. And when you can retire you might be dead or getting that way. And when you achieve fame, you'll wish people would go away. And world peace can only be found with an ever-present gun. Hope has an end, even in the home of the brave. From a young age, we are taught that love conquers all. We see it in movies, hear it in stories, and expect it from our budding romances. A lot of us are willing to die for love. But how far can love go for us? Many have lost love to money, sex appeal, or mere convenience. Even when human love lasts there are imperfections. Conditions that make it fade or fluctuate in highs and lows. It seems our champion love, is easily conquered.
Praise the Lord, these limitations are not the end for Christians. We can partake of faith and love that never end. We can take faith in the solid Rock, who is always there for us and can't be moved. We can find hope in the kingdom of heaven, where the years of tribulation fade under the weight of eternity. We can find love in the arms of our First Love, who loves us unconditionally, and heals the broken heart.
