- | ** ... ** | + | ** With him ... ** |
+ | We are made to love God. We are made to discover his purity and love, to experience it, to | ||
+ | live in intense community with him through the holy spirit. Without this spirit we are empty | ||
+ | and lonely. There is a place in our soul, the most important place, which is made for him | ||
+ | to be God and love and center to us. | ||
+ | When he, the eternal God, is missing in our soul, we start to fill the place with other | ||
+ | things. But these are not made to be there. They are things, not God. We give them a role, | ||
+ | which does not fit and does not work. The bible calls it idol. When ever something in | ||
+ | our life gets to the place which has been created for God, it becomes an idol. This is how | ||
+ | it is. | ||
+ | |||
+ | But God needs to be in this place. He needs to be our God. And the connecting link is love. | ||
+ | Without love, we are robots. Without love, we are not linked to him the way which would be | ||
+ | adequate for him. He is love himself, the origin of all we know and feel and experience. | ||
+ | Only love is the adequate and sustainable link to God. Only love can save us. | ||
+ | |||
+ | When we are connected to the original love, we cannot but live his way. And his way is to | ||
+ | love him, to love ourselves and to love all around us in an intense way. That does not say | ||
+ | we should do all what people tell us to do - do not mix up love with stupitity. Our love | ||
+ | should be real love, and real love will be very careful about how it treats people and | ||
+ | what is does. True love is full of critical interaction, | ||
+ | |||
+ | What can we say? Just discover this love, which comes from the Lord, and is the Lord, today | ||
+ | and tomorrow and for eternity! | ||
