Drive-thru dinner today. It's a bad habit. My children always want to know the name of the window attendant and I never want to ask. We pull to the window and they start screaming for me to ask her name. Reluctantly, I asked... Her name is Delores.
Why? What do I wish to stay unconnected? Life is indeed simpler the fewer people that are involved. It's a bad habit too, to ostracize myself, to seek to be care free of the needs of others. God did not create us to live this life withdrawn from human contact. We need each other. We carry the Love of God in our hearts and can share it with one another, exposing His pure acceptance of each of us. Exposing His unconditional Love and forgiveness.
The more we cling to Christ the more we want to expose Him, the more we can't help but to share His Love with others. The more asking Delores her name becomes safer than not... And it all snowballs... we are accepted by the One who Loves us more than we could ever understand, unconditionally and without apology. It's had for us to understand that we don't have to do anything to confirm that Love; He confirmed it on the cross.
Getting back to real Love. God's Love.
