...Excerpt from an Online Discussion I was taking part in..
April 7th 2006
never really thought about it before to be honest. i accepted what i was spoon fed and parrotted it quite well. .. We are all sinners,through Adam and through our own acts ( or omission of acts). This is why Christ died, so you best repent and be forgiven. You will get to go heaven and escape the fire and brimstone, the weeping and gnashing of teeth, that is Hell.
my bullseye? the Holiness of God. the heart of God. GodLove. This is His Glory.
falling short of the above is in my eyes sin. none bigger than the other.. whenever we fail to live up to His essence, to glorify the God is, in and around us, we "miss the mark"..you break the Father's heart to the same magnitude by killing or by being gossiping.
God is Love, this is my divinely inspired knowledge. I mean really, this IS the essence of the I AM. GodLove. Anything done in Love is done to His praise and Glory. An adultration of Love is unHoly.
Funnily enough, i have always felt ungodly whenever i am the least bit unloving. the least bit...
I have sat with this some more.. If we were made in His image ( complete with Free will) then our very nature should compel us to be Love and Holy like the Father. This then was the essence of Man before his fall. Allowing for him to commune directly with the Abba in the "cool of the evening". Were he not of GodLove he wont have been able to exist in I AM's prescence. remember this is why we need the sacrifice of the Lamb of God. So that we can stand in His righteousness and be Holy and acceptable to the Father, Praise Him, that was and is and is to come ;-)
In time however (Wo)Man had to make a choice ( free will) and in this He chose to act contrary to His nature, birthing the seed of ManLove within humanity. Note how as soon as he partook of this nature ( disobeyed Abba) it become easier for Him to act contrary to the GodLove nature.. from "apple" to lies, to calling I AM unLove ( it was the woman you gave me...).. its like you never think that you could really kill someone until you do, then it becomes easier each time.. almost like you plant the seed by your first action and evil that seeks always to propagate itself, waters it and it grows and blooms into a massive tree..
I AM must have forseen this betrayal and even though GodLove had the ability to cocoon his companion man, He would not have being able to partake of the rapturous, delightful knowledge that comes with knowing that you are loved by your beloved of his own volition.
Hmm.. its strange how in sitting with this, i see the Divine simplicity in this mystery. I ever tell you how awesome it is to be blessed to see some through the heart eyes of God??? And its funny cos I (we) can relate to the great I AM on this. I've been there. You know, had the lover with whom my spirit refused to rest in the "knowledge" of His love, because it wasnt convinced that if presented with a choice (except the choice of me and Abba) that i would be his chosen...... in time i came to realize that this wasnt the kind of Love i sought and that indeed the Father desired more for me. He caused for my connection to this Love to be severed and began to teach me what Love truly looks like... Thank God he saved me because unlike the Infinite Divine, i doubt very much that i could have stayed and continued to knock on my beloved's heart door without it corrupting my Love and my spirit...
And in this i am knowing that we are indeed created in His image. For as the Chirst said this is how I AM knows he is our beloved. If you love me you will keep my commandments -John 14:15. Not out of a sense of obligation cos you claim to be a follower of the Way, but because the litmus test for Love is such: when presented with a choice between your beloved and another, True Love, seeds of Godlove will compel you chose Love.
So my prayer is this; That Abba daddy reworks my heart. my ability to Love. not as man does but as God does. For His nature to increase and mine to decrease. To love both daddy dearest and My not so dear neighbour, lol. I crave a lifelong God lesson on love. several on a daily basis. This is the most precious thing. In the now and most importantly for eternity. I desperately want my spirit to be compelled out of Love to always seek Love's way. This is true Holiness. And in this I will be enabled to obey alwas my darling Divine Counsellor, Healer, Lord and Friend and He will have true knowledge that He is my beloved.
