Day 388
Title: The Lion and The Lamb
I was reading this book by Lisa Bevere last night and this analogy of lion and lamb kept coming to me as though they are speaking to me. What a vast comparison of two different animals which are of the extreme composites. Combination of the strongest and the weakest?
Lion and Lamb ?
The Aslan which is God in the movie Chornicles of Narnia?
What about the lamb?
The Lion plus the lamb?
Well, the truth is what does the Lion and the Lamb symbolises?
Deep in my heart I am truly calling out the name of powers Jesus Christ who is named as the Lion and the Lamb,
but today in this post, I am writing something beyond from the bibical expects and into the secular world.
Take a deeper look in thoughts
The piece of puzzle came into place for today came from Brian's wife Jaslynn
She wrote this
A loving person often seems weaker than a tyrant. Yet the gentleness of love is the strongest single most powerful force that could heal torturous diseases, restore relationships, bring forth courage to sacrifice and last through generations after generations...
Just at a single moment when I was reading it, the thoughts that flows in my mind says: Lord Jesus that's you! The Lion and the Lamb. The strongest and the most gentle one.
Then a voice within me said: Read it again, again and again, who do you see my dear?
What amazed me,
I saw myself.
The voice within me start asking a series of questions which ended my post here.
1) A loving person often seems weaker than a tyrant.
A few points to take note here in this sentence
1a) They always seems like the weaker one to who ever they are with, who acts like a giant tyrant; but which in fact lies a series of insecurities in that tyrant that produces such kind of act.
The underlying word here is insecurity and fearful of uncertainty.
They have this constant mind of, what if, I did my best but I still screw things up?
What is I cannot commit, what if I do wrong?
I really feel like slapping this group of people, so many what if, BUY INSURANCE LAH!
If you are the Tyrant in your relationship, just admitt it you pride filled, ego idiot! You suffers alot of insecurity!
Understand one thing, YES we make plans and we ought to, but you know many times things doesnt go according to PLANSSS > > >
If you are the meek loving one in the relationship, dont worry, you've gain whatever you ought to.
I tell you a truth, there is no wrong in giving in. One who has the capacity and ability to do so, is capable to walk a longer and more fruitful journey. Giving in maybe a test in a certain season, soon this season will end. Giving in will start bearing its own fruit.
I am not bull shitting you, long suffering is one of the qualities in the bible. In the King James version it means paitence and paitence is a virtue.
2) Yet the gentleness of love is the strongest single most powerful force
Look at the approach from this sentence, yet the gentleness of love is the strongest single most powerful force.
Many Macho man out there reading this underlined sentence may think,
Love is the strongest? Emotions makes a man weak! Man dont show their emotions out, hellow, WE ARE MANNNN OUT HERE!
To convict you with that, the more you hide it, the weaker you are in that point of discussion.
The thing that you have been siam-ing alot, is the thing you want and have been yearning the most in your deepest ocean bed.
The thing that you fear most is the dream you wanted so much, BUT you do not dare to dream about.
It is ultimate foolishness to say: I am of fearful broken marriage that is why I do not want to get married and be committed.
What if I am committed and my other half isn't,
What if my other half is committed and I am not?
So What if you die tomorrow? So today faster call me up ok, I do insurance for you.
CUT The HECK LA!
If you dont like to SHIT, then dont EAT! Confirm no shit.
But well, we cannot survive not eating . .
Its a fact,
Its a reality.
Comeon lar, shit do happens even when we eat more or less . . .
LEARN to handle them!
Reality = Shit will happen and it will . . .
I was once so fearful of love, insecurities in my relationship as this man I love never fails to give me tons of shit. . . . . .
The real deal is, when you faced love, confront it face to face, it is never weak anymore.
It is strong enough to make transformations and world shaking histories!
Love is only weak towards the double minded, the insecured, and the doubters of themselves.
3) that could heal torturous diseases, restore relationships, bring forth courage to sacrifice and last through generations after generations...
Torturous diseases not only imply on the physical, it refers to the diseases of the heart and mind as well. We call them our spirit (heart) and soul (which is our mind)
Example of heart diseases
- Hopelessness
- Unloved
- Unforgiveness
- Hatrate
- Bitterness
- Resendment
- Insecurity
People do missed their God gave blessings when they have the following examples in their heart. Some people even die from hopelessness. Even a simple animal like a dog can die, when they feel unloved. It is a heart condition in our society. When our heart fell ill, our physical falls ill too. People who are so loved, so hopeful they turned out to be cancer survivors in society. The body of illness cant hold them down. They recovered as love had fought their cancer cells for them.
Understands how strong love can be!
It is said that in 1 cor, These 3 things remains, Love, Faith and Hope, but the greatest of it is LOVE.
Because by the power of Love, it sows Faith and hope in our lives.
Jesus Died because he loves us, not because he has faith in us, nor is that a hope in us.
My outline today is
LOVE and Love is the Lion and the Lamb
which is also why, God said: Jesus is Love.
My little prayers: Thank you Father for your revalations, I just did a 3 point sermon. Now I know this love so great, when the devil dart hopelessness, disappointments, and discouragment on me, the love of Jesus just washes it off, scrub it out of my heart nice and clean. Lord, I thank you that you have love me, and showed me how you love me, even when I hated you.
Thank You Jesus, thank you for living in my heart.
I am yours and you can do whatever you want to me. I am willing to be your mouth piece, to be your hands to do good on your behalf and walk where ever you want me to walk.
.Amen.
