As my last entry signifies, there has been a transformation within my heart: pain turned into multiplied and perfect love. By perfect love, I don’t mean that I, myself, am perfect, but the Love of God within me is perfect. Some of you have had questions about this transformation; I did not give specific details of this transformation (i.e.: when it happened and what event the pain was tied to). I don’t intend to explain the event to which the pain was tied in this entry, but I do wish for you faithful readers to know that my heart was transformed–as I said, pain into magnified love–suddenly and without warning, without any explicit actions on my part, and without any new interactions with the painful event or the people involved. It was and is Christ’s miraculous Love that changed my heart–transformed my pain into abundant love. All of this occurred on my way home from a Bible study meeting at my church, around the rest area just before my exit on the expressway.
No entry that I’ve ever posted is as dear to my heart as the entry below, the one written the evening of June 9, 2008. I can’t get enough of it; I can’t read it enough. I want to literally write it on the wall in my computer room or living room as a reminder when I constantly reach for my heart in hopes of touching the love that I “feel so surely and without a doubt.”
I would that all of you experience this transforming Love, so that you, too, will be inclined to reach for your own hearts and, henceforth, reach for the hearts of others in Christ’s name. I tell you, THIS is the true power of God.
