Loved without expectation ...
Soul Snack 124/10 ...The Wisdom of being Foolish
To the western-world of individualism that elevates personal rights and a mono-identity, it becomes absolute foolishness to release personal rights and find your identity in union with another.
Yet union with Christ is exactly that - a convergence of identity. Christians can then enjoy the addition of meaning and the presence of a new number-one.
The tempering of such foolishness to the world, is found in the carnal desires that raucously ring the world's chorus in a Christian's ears. Yet, in union, seated on the very lap of God Himself, roars become silent and the clarity from He who only whispers is heard.
Union is the total acceptance of one as they are and not as they should be. It is this thought alone that shoots into the mind and penetrates the spirit with a fresh and healthy re-setting of all emotions and thinking.
The wisdom of Heaven is to love you as you are, not to expect you to be what you are not.
The wisdom of Heaven is to love you as you are, not as others think you should be.
The wisdom of Heaven is to love you as you are, not as you think you should be.
"In human beings love is a quality ... in God, love is His identity."#
And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. (1 John 4:16)
