I recently had a conversation with God. I asked in my heart, “Why are we here?”
I heard inside me, “To love.”
I felt the beauty of this answer, but asked further, “But why then is there so much pain in the world?”
I went on to hear far more than I ever imagined. “Without loss, we never truly understand love. Without terror and pain and destruction, we may never know the every tiny facet of what our hearts are capable of. It is in these moments that love exists.”
