Let Love Rule

It is more than a song. My intent with this blog is not to get a lot of detania followers, but rather to just get my thoughts out. Warning just because I think it tonight doesn't mean it is in stone. I am sorting thru, figuring stuff out, growing, thinking, journeying!

Now that the disclaimer is done here goes what is on the old noggin tonight.

Today I had a conversation with a friend about love. We actually talked a lot about different aspects of love throughout our whole 2 hour discussion-topic to topic. In one topic we talked about how loving means being vulnerable and another how loving the wrong person is dangerous. She didn't believe or maybe is still sorting it out for herself, that it is wise to put yourself in a position where you love someone who may never love GOd. I mean really love, not what passes for love. I mean the down in the dirt, put your heart out there, maybe you'll screw the whole thing up kind of love. It is dangerous. But wise...the wisdom of heaven is unlike man's wisdom.

It reminded me of two things. One is the Narnia story where the kid asked if Aslan (the Christ figure) was safe and the response was no he is not safe but he is good. It reminded me that it isn't safe to love, I mean really love, but it is good. Safe implies lack of failure and assured out come and that is just not so with loving people and being a person. The second was when Christ was alone with the woman at the well. Ahh very dangerous! What would people say or think. Plus she was lonely, vulnerable, 'easy', and very needy. Christ modeled what he expects our response to be= LOVE. Yes it was dangerous, maybe not so much for the son of God but the word does say he was tempted in all ways. I think that means we should live dangerously.

My conclution is that love is never wrong, always dangerous, never wrong. If we aren't living a little dangerously are we really living?
