Topsy Turvy

Well now.

I've been thinking about what I said about 'Mush' and I've come to the conclusion that I may have been mistaken. Or that at least I've discovered that there's more to it than I thought. Needs more thinking though before I'm able to come up with something vaguely coherent.

Hmm, to be continued.

The thought came to me as I was on my way to Southampton last weekend, I was thinking about what I'd written, and about God, and I realised that I only wrote half the story. I don't ever want to bring love down to a kind of feeble affection, because it is in fact one of the strongest forces in the universe. And that is because God is love.

I was dwelling on that line 'God is love' and thinking yeah, that's awesome... but then GOD is LOVE, He IS love. I started thinking about all that God is, and how much more I have to learn of him, and that blew me away. If God is love, then everything he embodies is love. And that is powerful. Not just powerful, it's mind blowing, life changing, and soul converting. The love of God turns you topsy turvy til you realise that was the way you were meant to be.

The biggest act of love ever shown was Jesus, in coming down to become one of us. I've been trying to put that into words, and frankly, my words aren't big enough. What I was really trying to say though is that I don't think I'm even beginning to get my head around what love is, and how I can ever love anything like how Jesus did. It's pretty non conclusive tonight, but I guess that's cos I've still got a lot to learn.
