Toothache > Love
This one is comin’ atcha from my phone…it’s gonna be short if not sweet.
I heard alot of talk about Sigmond Freud in college. I have to admit that most of it sounded a little crazy to me. I don’t believe that sexuality is at the root of everything. Though for some people it is.
He has been quoted as saying that “It is impossible for a man to have a toothache and be in love.” This makes sense in a very simple way. If you have ever had a toothache or the flu (of which I am currently suffering) etc. this will start seem possible.
Let me say that I haven’t lost any love in the throws of the flu, but it clouds everything! Sometimes pain easily overruns our temporary “loves” but, in the midst of trials our True Loves take on a different feel.
Many of you know that I have a 6 month old baby girl. Man, I love her! And I can’t touch her, or comfort her, or even help her without risking her contracting the flu. I sanitized my hands and face today and tied a t-shirt around my face (a la bank-robbery style) and put socks over my hands just to touch her for a few fleeting seconds. It scared my wife when I entered the room and it didn’t fulfill the need for interaction with my daughter! It is difficult to say the least. What becomes apparent is that her well being quickly outweighs my desire.
Our love for Jesus should rival that type of emotion! And I know from His Word that His Love far surpasses our own!
In sickness an Heath, He is our source! And though this world we live in contains evil beyond measure… Jesus Christ loves you with a love that cannot be derailed!
Introspection On The Word
It can be wonderful, a little surprising, and somewhat unsettling when the Word of God hits home. It can drive someone to their knees and bring tears to their eyes and sometimes (maybe it’s rare) it can physically unsettle a person.
I almost always have a reaction to the Word.
Your Measure Of Worth…
We are so often caught in the trap of gaining our worth from the opinions of others.
As children we all have experiences that effect our lives and relationships for years to come. I had one incident that haunted me until I finally realized its impact a few years ago.
I was a pre-teen that was surrounded by older kids. I was usually the youngest person in the group. There was a discussion being had at Pizza Hut at the table of teens +me. They were discussing what would happen if… Read the rest of this entry »
