Most discussions of faith and Love are staged looking 'up', where we consider heaven is, but as we accept God's Grace, we begin to see 'from' heaven, our new vantage point. I'd like to take you on a short journey into the Mind of God, as He sees Love. I'd like to share two perfect examples of Love, and as we walk, our vantage point will be changed, in this moment, in the twinkling of an eye.
The first example of Pure Love, with no conditions, is within the Godhead. Each member of the Godhead accepts one another unconditionally. Love (God) looks beyond their individual attributes and personalities, embracing their singular identity, God. We wouldn't think of arguing God is separate or divided, just because He is 'seen' in three persons. We know The Lord our God is One.
The second example of Pure Love is much like the first, and equally important. The only difference is that it may be a little shocking. The second example is simply this: You are accepted with the same Unconditional Love. As we meditate on the goodness of God we discover He loves you just like He loves The Holy Spirit or Jesus. How and Why? Just as in the first example, the individual attributes and personalities aren't conditions for God to accept or reject. The only thing that matters is the eternal perspective and have any conditions been met. All conditions have been met and Jesus really did pay it all. When Jesus proclaimed, 'It is finished', it really was. Everything you have known yourself as, has been taken account of, and absorbed (good and bad), not to change God, but to allow you to have the mind of Christ and experience His Kingdom.
Anyone can claim equality with God and many are doing it, while simply on another flesh trip. The true test isn't how you see yourself, but it's how we see each other. Jesus asked a very important question to the disciples... He asked, 'Who do you say I am'. Petere answered, 'The Christ'. The Christ is the Spirit. We may understand God sees each of us as Christ, because He's looking within, at The Christ Spirit; but, am I seeing everyone as God sees them? The test isn't who I say I am... it's who do I say you are? God's Spirit in you is not looking at the outward appearances or performance, He's looking at His Spirit in you, and that doesn't change based on mood or actions, good or bad. There is One Spirit and One God. Divisions of men are caused by feeding from or looking through the other source.
Maybe I should have warned you about what was just written, but there are no words to absorb the shock of knowing that God really includes you (me) with Him, simply because it's His desire. He really did pay the price for you. Our natural minds can't quite comprehend the simplicity of the Revelation of Jesus Christ, while in our Earth suits. But it's still true, God accepts you 100%, with no reservations or conditions. The true love that is flowing through you will see everyone else with the same love He's provided. With simple child-like faith, our perspective changes and we begin to experience The Kingdom of God.
Unconditionally,
David
“Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You have given Me; for You loved Me before the foundation of the world." John 17:24
"For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory." Romans 8:14-17
Just think of the implications of being a child of God. Jesus, Son of God and according to Him, when you've seen the Son, you've seen the Father. Are you a Son or Daughter of God?
