We have broken the worldly and moral laws with such irreverence and unconscionable coldness that our adversaries want to punish us. They want to give us the death penalty; but before that, they want us to suffer every humiliation imaginable and every torture possible while they "prolong" our death. Their anger is beyond livid and they hate even the thought of us. Then someone we know, knows if given the chance, we could be someone very special, someone HE would bring home to meet HIS family. As we watch what they do to HIM, knowing it should be us, fear goes away and there are no words that can describe our repentant contriteness. We begin to love HIM with the love HE has for us. Isaiah 53:5, "HE was wounded for our transgressions and crushed for our iniquities". There would never be a second that we would not think of HIM, LOVE HIM AND HONOR HIM. IS JESUS JUST A PAINTING ON THE WALL, A STATUE ON A CROSS OR A NAME IN THE BIBLE? OR IS HE THAT FRIEND THAT WE ARE GOING HOME WITH?

We are incapable of Love until we have been Loved. Unless Truth is revealed in Love, both the Message and the Messenger will be rejected. Many faith's proclaim the "revelation" of Truth; but how can we know Truth through imperfection and error? 1 John 4:16, "...he that dwelleth in Love dwelleth in GOD..." Without GOD we are incapable of LOVE; WITHOUT LOVE WE ARE INCAPABLE OF TRUTH.
Children do not grieve over the past, nor look to the future; they are absorbed in the revelations of the present. When we live in the PRESENT, it is like living in the fullness of ETERNITY, THERE IS NO TIME. Titus 2:12, "It teaches us ...to live in this present...". Trying to "undo" yesterday or "worrying" about tomorrow, doesn't let us experience the revelation that everything is complete as it is. If we lived only in the Present, would GOD reveal great and hidden things we have not known, (Jeremiah 33:3)? I wonder if we treated everyone we met like they were JESUS, wouldn't they capture the fullness of our attention FOR THAT MOMENT?
