It truly is an amazing thing to find what’s lurking beneath the surface of your heart and wonder as to why it is that your face is not full of warts and dark splotches. How is it that the slime from the depths of depravity found in the inner crevices do not make it up to the surface more often? The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. That sounds about right to me. So what is the point of it all? There once lived a man who had the pleasure of having the internal workings of his heart be made fully manifest in his life, and he lived as a wild beast during this time of revelation. In moments like today, I view this example as the very description of my own internal state. The real mind game is that the Holy Spirit, the formless state of peace and love Himself, is said to be taking up residence in my being. So I wonder, what little room I must be giving Him to have but a glimpse of my own internal workings come up to the surface this afternoon the way they have. Perhaps all I need is love. Yes, I am sure of it. It is the wonderful predicament that we all come to at the very moment of choosing a life which embraces truth. We are not allowed to strive and be the one to bounce darkness out, yet we are explicitly told not to give way to the dark found on the inside and all around. Oh yeah, and we can’t let it stay where it is either, for it will only increase.
Stop acting as though you could earn it,
I don’t love you because you deserve it.
I love you because that’s Who I Am,
Let Love Win.
