Why Love Eludes You

You look around...

flowers
cards
candy

balloons
stuffed animals
romantic dinners for two


but love eludes you

because

love is not found in

pretty
perfectly
packaged

shrink wrapped goodies

love is found in His

battered
bloodily
bruised

grace wrapped body

He came wrapped
in flesh to love you

and

ripped off that flesh
so that you could love Him

So if you were looking for love inside of a

velvet covered
heart shaped
box

you won't find it

because

love isn't found inside of a candy-filled box...

love is found inside of an empty tomb
