A lingering soul

Here and there we will sense tidbits of someone in our past that meant alot to us. We didn’t even have to have met them because if they were family there position in the eyes of those who did would have shared stories with us about them and through those stories we grew a kindred connection to them. No matter if friend or family a lingering spirit can and has hung around to guide you as best they can through life and love of which both can have extreme hardships. They would tell you that the preservation of love is worth any cost because the body can be damaged and repaired and at some point and time may become less useful however the heart and soul contain elements of love that can be regrown and made to flourish again. There are many reasons why love can endure the greatest of attacks and still flourish and come back and the most important reason is because God demonstrated through his only begotten Son Christ the ultimate love and from that moment on love become a super power that no forse in the past present and future of any universe would ever be able to over power. When needed to be reminded of this a lingering spirit will gently do so. When a person accepts and understands that in the name of love there should be nothing they aren't willing to do to preserve it you should feel the hand of God on your shoulder letting you known you are on the right track my child.
