The Fragility of Human Love and Our Perfect Security

THE FRAGILITY OF HUMAN LOVE AND OUR PERFECT SECURITY

To whom we should rest our perfect security ?

Only in God's love we could rest our perfect security, for only God's love is everlasting and unfailing. Only God can love with an everlasting love for he is the only "eternal one." We can never rest our confidence and security upon human love for human love is too fragile. Those who put their confidence upon human love were among those who have been broken by it the most. We should never rest our security upon human relationships , upon earthly love affairs, for they are bound to fail us.

Human relationships are too frail, those who build their world around it , those who consider their lovelife as the center of their life, were among those deeply hurted by it. Even the most beautiful and most affluent people are not exempted from the heartaches brought by an earthly romance. Let me share with you this story of a very beautiful woman who have once found love as the most beautiful thing in the world but in the end, it brought her uncomparable miseries and pain. This is a story of Soraya Esfandiary, former wife of the Shah of Iran.

There were two moments that will remain unforgettable in the life of Soraya Esfandiary.One was when she stood by the side of his Imperial Majesty the Shah of Iran at the age of eighteen and became his Empress. The other was the day she stood on the steps of a plane taking her to Europe and out of his life forever.

The story of Queen Soraya and the Shah is one of the loneliest love story in modern history. Soraya is a strikingly beautiful woman who was a daughter of an Iranian diplomat and a German mother. One day in 1950, the Shah saw some fuzzy snapshots of Soraya taken in St. Moritz. They were sufficient to rouse his interest.. The Shah of Iran, Mohammed Reza Pahlevi was now thirty-one years of age,very handsome, a fine sportsman and fabulously rich, but he has an unhappy life. His first marriage that brought a daughter ended in divorce. He knew it was his duty to marry again to secure the Pahlevi dynasty, but he wanted to do it for the sake of love.
