I do not understand how such a powerful, supernatural being could be loving. I do not understand how something so beyond our comprehension could be anything other than morally neutral.

And yet, I see evidence all around me that it is true. A happy toddler. The way a kitten melts my heart. A pink sunset. The monogamy of flamingos. The way that even sex creates some sort of spiritual bond with another human. It all points to one thing.

Spending enough time in the secular world will cause you to believe that animals came first, and love came after as some sort of evolutionary response. But the truth is that love came first, and animals came after.

My corrupt head cannot even fathom that love is the root of existence itself. Before time, there was a loving god. I do not understand that. And yet, I can tell that it is true.
