Why haven't you left yet?

"God created man in his image, in his divine image...God created man. When I look at another human being that looks absolutely distressing instead of being disgusted by that, I'm now open to the beauty that that human being was created in the image of God. I'm looking at that divine creation. I'm looking at God...himself.

Without any question, there's no doubt in my mind that there is a God. At some point in time, we have to transcend from what is not mysterious to those things that are a mystery and just say, I believe. I believe."

"There's this innate sense with in me to go and do something....and there's no question in my mind that's God communicating to us to go and do..."

Lewism

You must believe that God is separate from the world and that some of the things we see in it are contrary to His will. -CS LEWIS

Oh, Love.


Today I found myself just searching...well, let's be honest that's what I'm doing everyday. But today in particular I was in search of the Lord's wisdom...and what I found was about love. Something we all seemingly seek fervently after... Something we find in various places...some of those places safe and some far too unkind. But in the Song of Songs Chapter 3, The Beloved is urging us and warning us not to seek out love. (What? Yeah, I'm with you if you're confused.)

If love is so wonderful then why should we not seek it out...?

Well, I think for two reasons...one is because our search for any love other than that of Jesus is often a distraction and may ultimately lead to dissatisfaction. Because when comparing the love you are receiving from someone else with the love of Christ...they will ALWAYS pale in comparison. They will fail. No matter how great their gift giving skills or their listening skills...no matter how big their servant's heart. God's love is perfect. That's hard to compete with...

But I think also what she's saying is that God, who is Love, governs over love. In other words, not seeking or forcing love will allow it to develop on its own...under the government of God. Love, like everything else in life has its proper time...God knows that time...and His timing is flawless. So it seems I found a deeper meaning and a new understanding of the words..."the look of love..."

"The Look of Love"...is just being SEEN by someone through the eyes of Christ.
