20-20 VISION, WALKING 'ROUND BLIND

Loving means to love that which is unlovable,

Or it is no virtue at all.

Forgiving means to pardon the unpardonable,

Faith means believing the unbelievable,

And hoping means to hope when things are hopeless.

-- G. K. Chesterton

So live with Me, in that Kingdom of Joy, My Kingdom, the Gateway into which may be service, it may be suffering. -  "God Calling," November 17

Twenty-twenty vision, walking 'round blind. -- from an old country love song

The desire to love and be loved is the human condition, according to me. The trouble is the human condition is based in the human mind, meaning driven by ego and adverse to surrender...to anything not of its own understanding and/or approval.

Love, like God, cannot be fully understood by our reasoning mind. Check the "God Calling" quote again. It says quite clearly the gateway into the kingdom of God (which we're told is nothing more nor less than love) may be service, may be suffering...who when she's thinking "I want to love and be loved" is thinking "service" much less "suffering"?

"Twenty-twenty vision, walking 'round blind"...we must go beyond the reasoning mind to love, i.e., to the kingdom of God.

Thank you.
