This is the lesson I have learned. You never know what form love will take You can't predict how it will come to you And the way in which it will come Because love is truly a bigger power than our hearts can actually hold And so often we block it for the fear of its power Yet if we truly lived in a world of love we would see no fear It is fear that blocks us from the full experience of God as love Fear that keeps us trapped in our bodies Unable to express all that we were created to be With Christ in us, we are love Truly, we are created in the image of God And God is love Did you get that? God does not represent love God does not exist as a mere face of love God IS love When we love in the world, we are sharing God When we allow love into our lives we are experiencing God So often we are afraid of love because it's power is so encompassing I'm not talking sexual love or friendship love .... I am talking about love that seeks justice, Love that seeks to clothe itself with compassion This is the type of love that God is Agape.
Too often we espouse love as a feeling But just as God is multi-dimensional, so is love So don't pretend that love comes only in one form At one point in time In one body God is not limited to the constructs that we define Him as The boxes that we put Him in God is love God IS Love!
