• The pain we all face in life is nothing short of the biggest test we face. It lashes out and tears away the iron skin we put on to shield us from it, and eats away at us. It destroys who we are and what we live for. Yet somehow, out of the ashes, a small seed grows inside us all, a seed planted by god and nurtured by our hearts. This seed grows into a beautiful thing, that wraps itself around all that it touches, protecting it from pain. This beautiful thing is called love, the most powerful force in existence. Love has saved lives, healed the wounds of many, and protected us all from the sins of the earth. It is the one sole thing on this earth that we all share in common, the ability to love. This is a gift i plan not to waste, the question is are you?
