The Renaissance, love, Petrarch and Cyrano De Bergerac
Created for Father's Day 2022
Any might quibble with the historical references.
===
Love is motivating.
Precisely how motivating is moot. One can look to the renaissance but not at mere sculptures or art works. Love motivated the renaissance. Love motivated the renaissance.
It began when a young monk, Petrarch, saw a beautiful, virtuous, woman and he realised he loved her. She was never his lustful love object. She was beyond him. She was married. She was kind and gentle. He would be the first to climb a mountain for fun. He would write poetry. And, from his love, the dark ages would end and all would change.
From love.
The world changed from love.
In the story of Cyrano De Bergerac, Cyrano keeps his love for Roxanne to himself. Roxanne sends a message they should meet, discretely. Cyrano is motivated. He is awake all night, winning a hundred duels against bad men. He is wounded when he meets Roxanne and she tends his wound, and tells of her love. Cyrano hopes it is love for him, but discovers it is not. Roxanne commends him on his taciturn behaviour regarding his wound. He says to her he had been braver since.
Love is motivating.
God loves you, and has loved you.
When you rejected God, that is sin. It hurts God. Because He loves you. That is why He gave His Son for you. God loves you so much, He does not want distance from you. God created a way he could abide you, even though you keep rejecting Him. You see, when you faced your battles and trials, and stood victorious even as you were hurt and felt humiliated, God had been braver, and gave you a bridge to come to be with Him.
We call Him God the Father. As the good father, he gives us his best. He is worthy of our love and praise.
Happy Father's Day
