I am tempted in this process to respond to the world around me. Not what the Spirit reveals of the Kingdom advancing, but just the things that happen around me in the name of anyone but Christ.

I am in training here in the Holy Wild to be entirely about gazing into the face of Love. Life apart from love just serves as contrast, part of the darkness that calls for more light. Whatever happens in the darkness is simply a result of Lovelessness.

I do not need to leave Love to pour Love out where He is needed. In fact, I have to stay leaning on my Beloved so that I am able to pour Love out. Love never fails. Love Wins.

Father, I am your vessel. Fill me or don't fill me. Pour me or don't pour me. Break me or leave me as I am. I do not want to touch what you are doing with any part of my pride. It has to be you. I will cling to you and you will lead me where you want me to be.

Important things can now be important without being crises.

Real heart and energy can be put into the issues of the day, because none of them can drag us of of our foundation. The boundary lines for staying OK are well drawn and accepted. Upon being estabished as OK, the places where there is an intersection of heaven and earth are good places for being in but not of.

Thank you, Father. You make all things new. You make it possible, in fact important, to be in the world. And all the while, I am safe in Your Arms.
