Love's Divine Artistry

he following lines reflect the fluid writing style of Richard Stringham, his supernal use of language flows with the same artistic softness as the topic he chose to address in this transcendent text: Love orchestrates the most majestic love story of all time. It is an epic drama portraying the grandeur of the great heart of Heaven, our Eternal Father, who has ascended upon the wings of His love to the highest realms of glory. Love is His governing statute by which each individual and whole communities may ascend to realms of divine light, bearing a love so bounteous that it fires His passion to share His glory with all of His children. Love's passion, deeply instilled within the great heart of Christ our Savior, impels Him to honor His commission to shepherd the whole of our lives through the most treacherous terrains and into the fertile vales of joy. Lavishing His love upon even the most wayward of His flock, lost from the fold of our shepherd, stained by the wounds of our wandering, helpless and cold. He would ransom our reproach with a compassion that arises to meet the measure of our contrition. No depth of our descent exceeds the loft of His reclaiming art. Love refines the societal artistry that creates a beautiful life. If we acquire a meekness and tenderness of heart, we too may enter the beautiful light of Christ's love and partake of its exquisite splendor. That in reminiscence of our Holy Father and our Savior's beauty of soul, we too might become beautiful within by seeking to assist in bringing forth the beauty inherent in every soul who comes within the sphere of our influence.
