Followers Gathering Sharing His Love

October 30, 2015
Day 296

The Holy Spirit is astir among the family of His followers. We feel Him, we hear Him, and we want more of Him and He wants more of us. We are in love with our Lover as we snuggle, hug, smile, and laugh while moving where He wants us to go. We follow Him like stupid sheep, moving in and out of troubling places for we just want to be with Him. Though times are dark we follow Him knowing He leads us to pastures of goodness, joy, peace and love. We eat only love therefore He keeps us from pastures of division, shame, and discouragement.

Like never before we feel the intimate connection our family shares - the precious blood of Jesus. We look at one another and without words we see Love. His love calls us to a banqueting table filled up and overflowing with tasty morsels, deep satisfying comfort foods of love. His love also calls us to dance in love. Joy dances, shame stumbles. Let no one convince you otherwise. Come dance with our Lover. He is astir.

Like never before we see the disconnect between those in our midst whose masks fall revealing a computer chip hard wired to a theology, a tradition, another gospel entwined in a lifestyle, old ways, or even a christian social club that restricts following the Lover. We are sad.

But the Lover speaks to us, Do not use your words to point them to the banquet, the dance, use my love. Only my Spirit can explain my call to love. For My love makes no sense. My love goes beyond comprehension. My love sails past the wisdom of the world. My love pulls the hesitant, the wounded, the fallen, the sick, the lonely, the backslidden, the misunderstood onto the dance floor. And they will find themselves dancing.

For, I AM loves freely and unashamedly with sinners. The one who sees calls sinners to freedom, to love, to dance, to eat, and to rest. The One who provides made it possible for you to freely love sinners.  Dance on sweet lover, dance on. They will find themselves dancing.

He continues speaking while holding a finger over our mouth. You want to follow me? Love me, love yourself and love others. I am the only one who saves and it is only by my Spirit. You simply follow. You rest for I am the only One who calls. I am the Only one who chooses. I am the doer. You are the follower. I love therefore you love.

We feed, we consume, and we pant for more and more and more and more of Him. And we do not stop. Each taste and bite, of Him, pulls us further into a craving - a more-ness of Him, of Love. His Love, His freedom, puts wind in our sails, tap shoes on our feet, breath in our spirit.

The pursuit of honoring our Lover bodes us well. As we daily choose to love, doing what is right, sin's pull and crouching corner presence dissipates. For Love fills the room. Joyfully we dance with Him. The Holy Spirit is astir among the family of followers.

We follow Him by loving you.

"Then the Lord said to Cain, 'Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast? If you do what is right, Cain, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must master it.'" Gen. 4:6,7
