The Power of Divine Order

The Power of Divine Order

Love’s Role in Change and Growth

I’ve come to see that there is a profound distinction between Divine Order and the ways we humans often try to impose order. Divine Order feels expansive, transformative, and far-reaching, while human order tends to be constrained by our limited understanding and desire for control.

At the heart of Divine Order is Love—a fundamental force that shapes and sustains everything. This Love is not a fleeting emotion or sentimental attachment but an abiding power that creates harmony and wholeness. It permeates all aspects of existence, from the vastness of the universe to the intricate details of our personal lives. Love is the why behind everything.

I observe this force in the cycles of nature: the turning of seasons, the warmth of the sun, and the life-giving rain. Yet, this same force is present in what we often perceive as destruction: volcanic eruptions, hurricanes, wildfires, and other upheavals. This is not an easy truth to accept. How can something so seemingly destructive be an expression of Love? The answer seems to lie in the transformative nature of these events. They clear, renew, and make space for growth.

Suffering and death also hold this paradox. They remind us of the finite nature of life, urging us to cherish the time we have and to love more deeply. Death, painful as it is, often pushes us to seek meaning, prioritize, and connect in ways we might otherwise take for granted. Yet, when I witness the suffering of innocents or endure losses that seem incomprehensible, I find myself still searching for answers. This mystery remains one of the greatest challenges of faith.

On the spiritual plane, I see Love working through relationships, moments of connection, and the nurturing we offer each other. But it also operates through challenges—anger, conflict, and the breaking down of what no longer serves. These experiences, though difficult, have a way of refining us, stripping away what holds us back, and preparing us for renewal. It is not always easy to recognize these moments as acts of Love, but with reflection, I see how they lead to transformation.
