Speaking & Doing From Love

Make no mistake, even a narcissist knows right from wrong

Human. You are one hurting unit. I say this tongue in cheek. We have some wonderful historical examples of people who suffered at the hands of merciless humans and somehow made good in the world, recovering to themselves and impacting others in an enlightened and godly way. Then, we have the opposite side of this coin, those who likewise, barely endured the pain inflicted upon them and made bad of the experiences, turning loose rage on the world around them. Next, we have the curious ones, those who for unknown and bafflingly reasons, choose the selfish narcissistic path that may very well be implanted in their genes. Make no mistake, with or without genetics playing a role, even a narcissist knows right from wrong.

We are all capable of self serving tendencies

The question is what to choose when selfish wants have a tendency to obliterate the needs and wants of others? If I am completely honest here, and I cringe in writing this, we are all capable of the self serving tendencies that can destroy another emotionally, physically, psychologically, spiritually: do you agree dear reader? Isn't it so, that we have all spoken from our pain, acted out of anguish? And isn't is also so, that we have transferred some of the hurt to another, targeted them to relieve ourselves in part or whole, of the heart heaviness?

A muscle that needs growing and flexing

The heart is a muscle to strengthen
It is easier to speak and do from our pain, than it is to speak and do from his love. This is a muscle that needs growing and flexing. There is a maturity in silence that speaking does not always purvey. There is a time buying for the greater good that happens when we do not react, when we wait and ask the question: What does Love what me to say and do? It is learning and then modelling someone who has mastered this love thing that takes us closer to the glorious realization that love truly is the most powerful force in the world. When we choose to reward evil with good, we are exercising a supernatural ability to concur ourselves and win over others. It astounds me to know that the power of God is available to us when we choose to speak as he does, do as he has done.

Human. You are one amazing unit. May God be with you, for you, in you, around you and speak through you. May you be His living and breathing will.
