The heart continues its journey...
In the search of expression,the child's heart of love found itself in the midst of religious people. It expected that now it would find a way out of its confinement, but...no... Instead, it was greeted with subtle coldness and suspicion by the majority in the group. "Hmm...what a world?!!".
Now disappointed and close to despair, the Creator who has been watching closely, answered the child's heart cry and made a way for it to connect to Him.
Eureka!! The heart has been freed from its confinement by its contact with God through Christ and given the Grace to be a channel of love. This contact with Christ, who is Love personified, granted the heart the ability, through the Holy Spirit, to express Love sincerely and unconditionally, inspite of societal beliefs; as it is written,"And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out His love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to us."(Romans.5:5).
Hence, the journey to perfect love started. It is filled with challenges, but the child was given a manual when it connected to God, with His engrafted word to instruct and guide it on how to overcome every challenge and carry on in the midst of the warped and stereotyped societal belief of love. One of the instructions is this,"Having purified your souls by your obedience to the truth for a sincere brotherly love, love one another earnestly from a pure heart, since you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God."(1.Peter. 1:22-23).
With this and many more instructions, the child's heart has continued in this journey steadfastly and with perseverance. Its goal is to remain a channel of love, meet the scale by which it is measured, and be perfected. it longs to have its love described by the scale as this: "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails."(1.Corinthians. 13:4-8).
The heart has set its face as a flint in this journey of perfection of Love.
May this Child's heart of love get to its destination of perfection as it remains a channel of Love to All.
Thought:"Only a heart submitted to God, through Jesus Christ, and enablement of the Holy Spirit, can truly Love".
