Safe Love? C.S. Lewis

“There is no safe investment. To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly be broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket — safe, dark, motionless, airless — it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. The alternative to tragedy, or at least to the risk of tragedy, is damnation. The only place outside Heaven where you can be perfectly safe from all the dangers and perturbations of love is Hell.” -C.S. Lewis 

Now, i begin again to love vulnerably.

As i Sleep and When i Awake

Now, i begin again, to express my desperation for Your Presence. Amen.

“Finished With Sin!”

“So then, since Christ suffered physical pain, you must arm yourselves with the same attitude He had, and be ready to suffer, too. For if you have suffered physically for Christ, you have finished with sin.” ‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭4‬:‭1‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Now, i begin again to know i can and must be finished with sin! Amen!

“To Be”

Was just “talking with” Oswald Chambers. He “said” this to me:

“It is easier to fuss around at work than to worship; easier to pay attention to details, to say our prayers, or conduct a meeting than to concentrate on God… Once you are rooted and grounded in Christ the greatest thing you can do is to be.” Oswald Chambers 

Now i begin again… “to be.”

A Double-Minded Man

“If any of you lacks wisdom [to guide him through a decision or circumstance], he is to ask of [our benevolent] God, who gives to everyone generously and without rebuke or blame, and it will be given to him. But he must ask [for wisdom] in faith, without doubting [God’s willingness to help], for the one who doubts is like a billowing surge of the sea that is blown about and tossed by the wind. For such a person ought not to think or expect that he will receive anything [at all] from the Lord, being a double-minded man, unstable and restless in all his ways [in everything he thinks, feels, or decides].” James‬ ‭1‬:‭5‬-‭8‬ ‭AMP‬‬

Now i begin again to trust You to make me to be singularly focused on You, my God.
