Greetings Dear Reader,
We tend to view things through the prisms that please
us. Even the dark things are lighted by
our opinions and preferences. Our pride
and vanity lead us to think we are right to the point that we violate the clearest
light with hatred and selfishness.
When viewing the world, we must seek the cohesive light. We must accept truth whether it is to our liking or not. The vital truth is that I do not get to fracture love into categories. I must love everyone. I cannot dismiss others based on my creed or their actions or I have violated the essence of my creed.
The world has infinite diversity. Every human is unique and valuable. Until we stop fracturing the light of that
truth we cannot hope to live in love and peace.
Until I become someone who loves first in every situation, I will fail
to see the light as a whole. When I work
at loving others first, I see them in the complete light of the Father’s love
for them. In that light, it is not my
place to tell someone who they should be.
It is my duty to love others so that the Father can show
them how he wishes them to grow in his love for them. The world is not meant to be seen through my
fractured light. It is to be seen
through the Light of the World, Jesus, and his desire that all humans be drawn
to him. Out theologies and philosophies
only seem to refract part of that light when we refuse to make love of others
our foundation.
I must put away the prisms of preference I construct and
live in the light of Christ’s love for the entire world, Dear Reader. His best friend John says it this way, “God
loves the world so deeply that he gave his only Son so that whosever believes
in him will not perish but have never-ending life.” (ATT)
Walking in the light of that truth will make the journey
home easier. I still take out my prism
and try to find the light that pleases me.
When I do, it is not the whole truth of the Gospel that others see. When I do, I am creating darkness not light.
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
homeowner. He liberally hands out new and old things from his great treasure
store.”

Every human story is part of the great story that leads
to the Father getting everything back to Good.

“That Cross is a tree set on fire with invisible flame, that
Illuminateth all the world. The flame is Love: the Love in His bosom who died
on it. In the light of which we see how to possess all the things in Heaven and
Earth after His similitude.” – Thomas Traherne
