So Incredibly Free

What is my focus? Do I focus on my enemy more than my Master? Is the fact that I hate what modern Christians have made "Christianity" and "Christ" into so much that that is what I focus on the most?

If we know what we stand for with the intimate knowledge that we are invited to know, then we do not have to state what we "do not believe" or "what we oppose," because our very lives will simply oppose it and we will not have to say a word.

This is such an easy distraction for me. "Find the enemy and destroy it!" But, that is not life. That is another form of slavery for me. Life is what and who I am, regardless of what others think about me, say about me or do to me. Let me be myself and simply be that without focusing on what "I am not." For what "I am not" is defined simply by what I am. Everything outside of who I am, is what and who I am not.

As I look back at this very thought this morning, I am surprised at the fact that I have begun again to focus on what I "hate" more than what I love. As Jesus said to the church of Ephesis, "you have forsaken your first love." It is like spending all your time fighting to defend your beloved, instead of spending most of your time loving your beloved and fighting only when necessary.
