If you've ever been to the funeral of a close loved one who's passed on, you know the kind of pain their going through. You'll see people you haven't seen in 15, 20 + years show up simply to show their support for you and your family.  There's no clicks over political or economic statuses during this time. Even the person people have avoided, who's struggle with Alcohol and drugs over the years is welcomed with unconditional love. How much money they make or whether their democrat or republican is pointless. You just don't care about those things. You realize what this life is truly all about. Jesus said it,  love one another as I have loved you.  but we don't live that like we should. That peaceful love that permeates the air for one another at funerals is God's Divine love. During this grieving process we can let down our guard, take off our mask and openly show our love and support for one another. That's all God is asking us to do. He'll help us do it if that's what we want.  We don't "Need" a whole lot of what this world tells us we need to have and keep God's peace, love, and joy. Jesus wouldn't have commanded us to love one another as He has love you if this wasn't possible. His yoke is easy and His burden is light. No doubt we'll fail again and again. Especially in the day and age we're living in. But His His Grace is sufficient. Funerals have a way of jolting us back to reality and reminding us of what's really important. The good news is we don't have to wait until someone dies to get grounded into this Agape Love. God supplies this for us on a daily basis. Start your day with prayer and meditation in the morning with a conscious effort to simply live by the golden rule for that day, and God will supply all your need according to His riches. I don't think perfect surrender to His perfect love is the goal. He's looking at our hearts. Do we want to grow and are we trying?  Remember the man that said to Jesus, Lord I believe, Help my unbelief?  Jesus healed that man. All we have to do, to continue in His love is------> Lord I'm trying, Help my un-trying, and He'll come through. you'll see your life enriched in more ways than one.
