I want to wish my
readers today another Great morning from Jacksonville Florida!! You
are all my Brothers, and Sisters in Christ, and I love each and every
one of you!! The Word commands that we love one another, and
sometimes that can be much tougher than others. It is really not hard
to love people that you have never met, and don't know a thing about
them.
It tends to get
harder to love those that you know on a personal basis. The ones that
you are first hand, all up in their business, all the time, kinda
folks. The quickest way to stop loving folks takes a very simple act.
All you really need to do is get to know them. There are flaws that
we begin to see in them, that usually remind then of us. I am talking
about the stuff that we don't talk about. The little best kept
secrets of our own evil ways.
You know what I am
talking about. All my highly religious readers are looking around
with that high and mighty look thinking that I have lost my mind. I
started writing on love, and it went so deep that is has struck a
bone!! The nerve of me to even suggest such a thing is ludicrous!!
Have you ever
wondered why Jesus commands us to love each other? Why didn't He
command that we tolerate each other at the highest point of severity.
To love even one person is risky business. It places us in a state,
of extremely high vulnerability. When we really love a person, we
give them power over us. This is a power to inflict injury on our
defenseless emotional state of being.
To really love
makes us very vulnerable to get hurt, and keeps some of us from
taking the risk. I am in a whacked out individual that really wants
to have a love relationship. The horror of my past relationships, and
those of others, have really affected me in a very negative way. I am
scared that I can't keep a partner happy, because of my selfish ways,
and general lack of attention towards them.
I have never been
married. Part of the reason behind this is probably because, I was always
highly attracted to those that were already married. Yes, I am
admitting that I lived the life of an adulterer. I think that I
though somehow that this would keep me safe from experiencing pain.
However, the pain of misplaced love was actually there.
I missed out
enjoying life the way that it should have been lived. I have never
had a real relationship with a woman. It always was a form of sin
behind it. I either lived with them, or it was committing an act of
adultery, of just fornication. I have even lived with them, while
they were still married. I have always said, that there is a fine
line between bravery, and stupidity. You can't tell which one it was,
until it is over. Well,.........I was wrong. There is nothing brave
or honorable about adultery!! Actually, it goes far beyond stupidity
also!!
I never will
forget my first real girlfriend. She was a year older than myself,
and she fell in love quick. She was a virgin, and wanted for me to be
her first and only. It didn't work out that way. I let her go,
because her friend kissed better than she did. I feel so big about
that now. It is like I am sitting on the edge of a rolling paper,
contemplating jumping to the ground!! That was one of the stupidest
moves that I have ever done in my life. If I had only one spark of a
brainwave back then, I might would have been dangerous!!
What was I doing
kissing her friend anyway? I remember the first time she came to me,
and set in my lap, and simply started kissing me. If I had of known
what I know now!! The reason that she kissed so good to me was
because, she had kissed a lot of guys. Whereas, my girlfriend had
only been kissing on me. She didn't know any better, and I didn't
either until I kissed her friend.
I started writing
on Jesus command for us to love each other, and got caught up in
admitting where I have failed from the beginning. Actually, I am
getting pretty good in confessing my faults. I know where that I have
been, and the wrong that I have committed. At times it seems to be
almost over whelming. The good thing is that I have a second chance
that few people realize that we get. I have the opportunity to
confess my wrongs to the world. There is a chance that somebody might
read about it, and not make the same mistake. That is just a minor
move. I also have a major move that is life changing.
The major move
that I get to tell all who will read is about Jesus Christ. He is the
one that gave me this other chance. He has given me a new life, with
a different direction. He also has given me peace like I have never
experienced before.
If you are
anything like I was before Jesus, then you know what true emotional
pain really feels like. You might even know what the grasp of
addiction feels like on, and in your life. There is even a greater
chance that you might know a pain much more severe than I have even
spoke about. That is what my Friend Jesus Christ specializes in, and
they are called life problems. He will not make all problems
disappear. However, He will help you work through them much easier.
He will give new meaning and purpose to your life. He gave me the
desire to get up every morning, and live!!
….........Much Love
