don’t know how good a green lantern i would be.. will power ness
when i start thinking about the themes in scripture i get so excited.. each theme tells a good story about nature of god.. love thru theme of light.. and 2 other themes 1\ children/sonship 2\ voice/word.. they tell a good story..
age old question philosophers of old thought to answer.. plato, aristotle, peppermint patty and hattoway.. questions like.. what is love..
if love is light.. what is opp of that.. what is the darkness
rebecca pippert: anger isn’t opp of love.. hate is .. and final form of hate is indiff.. dark side of love is hate.. that hate culminates in indifference.. which is opp of will power.. ability to do something
jiminy cricket.. trouble w world today.. won’t listen to right voice..
what can we do so know what right voice.. does it have to shout louder..? that wouldn’t do it.. that would only terrify the children.. or they’d run to one shouting louder.. how can voice become so clear/dear to children so they feel they have to listen to it
so many things in world still grey.. but one thing no longer grey.. god’s word.. thru incarnate word of god.. we know heart of god.. beautiful
he calls you to come home.. his love beyond highest star and reaches to lowest hell.. his heart is always for us no matter the cost
implications.. one main thing.. we are called to let our words become flesh..
they will know.. by our love
3 ways for words to become flesh: forgive, serve, witness
1\ forgive – regardless of what we have done he runs to us.. ‘you don’t understand relationships i have to forgive’.. i would have to say.. so were you/i.. father ran to son while he was a long way off..
what allows all this? will power? our willing ness? in a sense yes.. we have to decide/choose (listen).. lord of rings.. powerless w/o power source.. our source of love: we love because he first loved us..
could we w/in the oceans fill or the skies of parchment made.. to write the love of god above would drain the ocean dry.. from sky to sky.. so powerful.. it draws the apathy out of us.. takes us.. who are ugly and makes us shine/beautiful to a world that desperately needs it
