Original "L" Word, the Only Love
Can we put on our 3-D glasses and check out the depth of a phrase such as, "Jesus loves you," strip away all visual associations of Christian-cool album covers and blood stained nails. To understand this action we must know the Way, the Word, the Spoken Truth. Hmmmm... a man birthed from a descendants of predecessors who tried hitting and missed and after awhile just missed because that was the norm. Evil king after evil king. Hope hurt too much because we knew who and what was needed to shine like the few set apart.But, David was soo hard to follow. God was not with many men and if he was many times he left them because their hearts were inevitable: we loved darkness. Then God promised David one to whom his love would never be taken away from. One who would personally be His Son; an established relationship beyond partnership or slavery but an intimate adoration that connected our worlds forever. Jesus. The most Humble, Powerful Godman. Because of the inheritance He reclaimed we can claim every inch of it's luscious graces. And what love is this? Yea, we know we will never be separated from this love but do we know that's only because of Christ? Cuz, it's only right that God would separate us from it, He did it to most everyone in the Old Testament. BUT His love cemented us to His side at the sincerity of our yes. And Jesus gives himself away, and gives himself away, and gives himself away and there is never a weary point or an end to this feast. We eat, He supplies his body and blood. We hunger, He offers. And His love is so unfailing that He never demands for His rights in the relationship for our comfort or affirmation. Wow... can I just really believe this right now. We never have to put our hungry selves second because He is never hungry for us to fill Him. Because Jesus is always affirmed by the Trinity He never needs anything from us but our vulnerability. And another thing: Once Jesus chose us. He never stopped choosing us and never will. It's decided: we are in this relationship and there is no way out. We will be made whole,we will know His love, and He will shape us so that we can love Him back. There is no divorce or separation or counseling or bitter disappointment or unmet expectations. He makes us worthy of Himself. He does all the work and it's supposed to be like that. An ideal relationship with JEsus is basically Him becoming our life support; leaning on Him because we need him so much even to walk;being weak outside of Him. Jesus, let me keep growing and basking in this love and not be settled with a taste. Because I get scared to go deep and then complain to you that I am insecure and hungry for your love. You know what's best for me and when.I give you the control to love me however you want. I just ask for more.
