Greetings Dear Reader,
The reality is that love is the most powerful force in all
that there is. We do not really see it
because we do not really live it. My
eldest Son calls it a barrier crushing force.
We do not think often enough about the destructive forces of love. I think they bear addressing.
Love destroys. It
mutilates hatred. It devours greed. It shatters and mends the hard heart. Like all real life it forces its way in to
places where it is unwanted. It corrodes
and dissolves the iron resistance of will steeled against it.
Love consumes. It ravenously
devours selfishness and self-centeredness.
It fills every void into which it enters and leaves room only for those
things which feed it or for which it is a fuel.
It will take all that you are and own it eventually.
Love steals. It
breaks in. It destroys locks. It tumbles
every safe. There are no secure vaults
or guarded places where it cannot enter unwanted and steal away resistance and
rejection. It ferrets out every mote of
the soul and demands all of it.
Love kills. It causes
men and women to face death on foreign fields for the sake of heath and
home. It murders the selfless to protect
others and even the selfish. It consumes
lives in its servitude. It devours galley
slaves to row it to its destinations. It
causes the Living God to take on flesh so that he can be hated, beaten, and
nailed to wood.
I must give everything I am to love. If I do not it will eventually take it
anyway. I would rather be its willing slave
than a conquered shell.
Wishing you joy in the journey,
Aramis Thorn
Mat 13:52 So Jesus said to them, "That is why every writer
who has become a disciple of Christ’s rule of the universe is like a home
owner. He liberally hands out new and old things from his great treasure
store.”
