Embrace

So many unwilling to step in to the waiting arms of Christ.  Keeping their arms to their sides they fear intimacy’s dangerous implications.  Wounded, forgotten, chastened and changed by an unloving world they deny themselves love, the love necessary to getting over the pain of past loss.  I get it, having suffered the un-indulging grief of a luke-warm world.  But shutting down the sensors is insufficient solution to the need for care, love and the absent embrace of a loving Father.

I am not afraid of needing love.  This requirement makes me human, the knowledge of that need alerts me to my deprived position and the embrace of Almighty God provides solution.  Yes, I care if you love me and if you don’t it does sadden me so, because we were meant for each other and designed to share this life in love and circumstance.

However, without the love of humans I am sustained by the Love of Christ.  I know that is an arduous concept for the human mind because it purports the intangible as answer for a supposed material problem, but love is not material it is ethereal.  How do we know we are loved?  I mean, there is no proof of love, it is simply, like life its own proof.  There are signs of life and signs of love that undeniable, yet we cannot physically touch life or taste love yet they supposedly can “fill” us up.  How then is it possible to be filled by the Love of God?

Explaining the inexplicable, touching the air, packaging thought or seeing nothing.  Must we have proof of all that exists in order for it to exist, or will this undefined componentry somehow compel, pester at the mind until resolved?  How far away is the other side of the universe, if in fact it is not a mobius construct?  We honesty don’t know, but does that mean that it doesn’t exist or that I must go there in order for me to resolve its existence?  Love is real, I need it and God gives unconditionally.  Simple Logic then to go to the source for embrace.  I don’t doubt or need to prove God’s love, I simply embrace it and am filled.

Weird how some things don’t need my definition for them to be real and work just right.  In God I Trust.  May you be embraced by the Loving Mighty Arms of God, today.  Be filled in the Spirit of the Lord.  In Jesus’ Name
