Day 143g: Walking it all for Love … (September 19, 2019)
And onward, ever onward, I flowed into the day – with many miles already behind me, and many more still to read – all for Love, all for Love, all for Love …
“You’ll be hard pressed to find any story in the Scriptures in which God becomes angry because someone had too much determination, evinced too much kindness, offered too much charity, or showed too much resolve. The truth is, we keep repeating the same mistakes over and over again – called to Love fully and limitlessly and recklessly, and yet choosing instead to dumb Love down with prudence and caution and measures deemed ‘more appropriate’ or ‘more then enough.’ And yet the Divine and all His emissaries have placed a bow and arrows in our hands and told us to shoot true and strike Love’s center. And yet instead of boldly pushing the limits of what God could do in and through our lives, we all too often assume that His intention for us is less and so we settle for what we can readily or easily do rather than what the Divine would have us actually Do for others instead … And so it is that one of the greatest accomplishments of all is when we recognize that we were freely handed two extraordinary blessings that we had no part in creating. The first is a talent to cultivate – those things that only we can do for the others in our midst, and the second is the omnipresent opportunity to offer the same to those others – fully and freely and wholeheartedly and intrepidly … So if you woke up this morning, you have reason to be grateful – and you have been given another summons from on High; a summons to go forth and Love all out. Similarly, if you are blessed to live through this day to rest your head on a pillow this night, you have reason to give great thanks – and profess a renewed resolve to wake tomorrow and boldly enter your next day of loving. Don’t take a single day for granted, my friends. They will in truth very soon run out.” ~ inspired by Erwin McManus, Craig Lounsbrough & Toni Sorenson
