The Unexplainable

There is a part of life, a big part, which is so unexplainable. There are feelings we just cannot express completely in words. There are actions that do not have a legitimate reason in words but make complete sense in our hearts and mind. We have logic and common sense to guide us in so many of our routine decisions, but there is always this field of unknown that leads us, guides us and controls us.

It is that feeling you get before a huge game. What is that? A competitive spirit, not knowing what is going to happen, but excited to tackle whatever comes your way.

It is that feeling that money does not matter. That the thing you are about to do cannot have a price tag. It is like one of my friends flying to London for the weekend to see his girlfriend.

It is that rumbling in your heart that leads you to randomly talk to a stranger. That desire to decide against the logical and choose the radical.

What is IT? I cannot describe IT fully? It may be love. But then who can describe love.

Love is more than just kind words or a romantic moment. It is more than an intimate situation or deep conversation. It lasts longer than that. Love is consistent. Love is the feeling to give a stranger a hug because you have a connection with them. Love is seeing someone you have not seen in five months and thinking that it was just yesterday when everyone was together.

But I still have not come close to describing love. Maybe 1 John 4:8 will give some insight “…because God is love.”

Well, good luck to the person who wants to try and fully describe God.
