One Last Time to Love

As I watched this video I was reminded of my dear friend. I wondered if she was given the chance to hear her son's heart beat one more time, would she? Would her strong love for him beckon her to hear or would the raw feelings of loss surround her as turns away? Being allowed to hear again the heart that once beat so vibrantly in a loved one must cause your own heart to beat wildly. Oh the emotions that would be felt if the opportunity could arise, the joy of remembered laughter, the feel of a kiss on the cheek, the warmth of a smile. Could this remembered love overcome the fear of losing again?

1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. I am encouraged by this verse, for it is God's perfect love, His pure, all knowing love for us that brings comfort. I imagine that my friend would leap at the chance to hear her son's heart beat one more time. If this were to happen, I imagine her listening and then sharing how Christ has carried her through the valleys of life and on to the mountain tops. For you see, my friend has learned that there is no fear in love, for it is His perfect love that cast out her fears to live and love again.
