Love. Continue......
I believe the quest for love, has to come out of hope, we have to have hope. It would be, dreadful to lie down and rise up, it would be dreadful to eat and drink, and to walk about, in despair from day to day. One, in such a way, is ready to be afraid of every thing; being afraid of being in despair, wherever you go. You will have no peace in your mind, but there would be dreadful sounds in your ears; your mind is afflicted and tossed with tempest, and not comforted, and courage is ready to fail, and the spirit ready to sink with fear; and what would we not give for peace of conscience, what would not we give if we could find safety! When such fears exist to a great degree, or are continued a long time, they greatly enfeeble the heart, and bring it to a trembling posture and disposition.
Feed My sheep —John 21:17--This is love in the making. The love of God is not created— it is His nature. I was reading.....Do you love Me? —John 21:17, Jesus had ask Peter this question, and he had asked three times, and Peter was very hurt by this. I believe Jesus was distinguishing a difference of emotional love and the deep hurting love. Any natural person loves a good person. Yet that is nothing but emotional love. It may reach deeply into our natural self, but it never penetrates to the spirit of a person. True love never simply declares itself.
Human nature thirst for love and we are built without that missing piece. So religion becomes a quest to fill that desire, Once we open our eyes that God is Love we can stop searching and be filled with this human nature, to love one another. It is only when we actively embrace the world beyond and the world within in their proper perspectives that we become capable of finally coping with and conquering our fleeting experience in this present world.
