It really is a simple issue. When you eliminate all the baggage, all of the worldly circumstances and teachings that cloud our judgment, it really is easy and it really is simple. Placed in each of us is His love, His mercy, His grace and forgiveness. We are our own worse enemy. We, by our logical and earthly perspective, in a way become a vehicle for evil to escape. We allow that which is pure to be contaminated by our own pursuit to quantify, categorize and control events, people and things around us so we can understand. Yet, in our essence there is purity and only when we shed ourselves of the logic, the teaching and the earthly perspective can we feel that which God has created.
It is pure. It is simple and it is Love. Love forgives all, love soothes pain and love is the basis for growth. When spiritual growth comes from love it can never be taken away. It will be with you always and it is something that you will share.
Christ is whole when we share His love with one another. He is risen when we extend our hand in support of someone in need. He is merciful and ever present with those who have opened their hearts and minds to what has been given to them. We are all called to seek the freedom that has been placed in all of us, the freedom to love. We are called to be His children.
However, in our humanness we have built shields to protect us from the fallen world around us. But in those shields we often hide ourselves from God’s will and desire for us to serve in this world. Yet, there is no shield that we can build to save ourselves. Thankfully, there is no shield that we can raise to keep Him from loving us. But it is by His grace alone, that we are to be saved from our sins and from our own mortal shame.
He will guide us, if we only have the courage to follow that which He has placed deep in our hearts, His love. For some, this comes easy to understand, yet for others, it is a difficult reality to accept and then it may even be harder to embrace and to follow. But still, it is very basic and very simple, He is among us and He is in us. How much easier can it be? By our nature, we are suspect of that which we don’t understand. But it is as simple as a newborn’s cry and it is as pure as a new mother’s tear. If only we can remember this and keep it alive in our hearts each and every day so that we may experience His hand in everything that we do. What a blessing we will have. Amen.
