As always, a great reflection. It brought to mind an old hymn whose words rang out to me. "...On Christ the Solid Rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand, all other ground is sinking sand." Enough said.
Thank you for this reflection. I have friends and acquaintances who still ask me: how come do you still believe after all you have been through and studied? I truly don't have a concrete answer. I usually respond by saying that Jesus, not necessarily Christianity, helps me be a better human. I have not found something or someone else who would guide me in that process yet. So, I choose to believe.
I heard that phrase somewhere and like it myself. Can't remember who used it, though.

Oh I know that hymn well!

That sounds like a pretty good response to me, Joel!
For some reason, the expression "lifelong and life wide" struck me. Hummm, I like it. It fits my concept of Godly love.
