This is such a beautiful post and speaks so much to me in this time. Thank you for sharing this. I know I’m late in the game reading it, but the timing couldn’t be more perfect.

“In the end only the relationships that are heaven-born are the ones that will “have our backs.” — how true this is!

The door to His bedchamber is open, His invitation is unmistakable, and His Love is a fire. He is waiting…waiting for us to ask…to ask may I have this dance with you? His answer is…

“there is nothing more to Life than Love”

“Will you dance with me?
Like we used to dance
And remember how to move together

You are the torch
And it all makes sense
I’ve waited here for you forever
I’ve waited here for you forever

In the end
In the end
There’s nothing more to life than love is there
In the end
In the end
It’s time for us to lose our weary minds

We’re lost ’til we learn how to ask
We’re lost ’til we learn how to ask
We’re lost ’til we learn how to ask
So please, please just ask

In the end
In the end
There’s nothing more to life than love is there
In the end
In the end
It’s time for us to lose our weary minds

In the end
In the end
There’s nothing more to life than love is there
There’s nothing more to life
There’s nothing more to life
There’s nothing more to life than love is there”

In reply to Pamela. Aaaah, I've had the same misconception with that very scripture...when two or three. Very interesting!

You have brought much to the table in this in depth post. im still trying to process it all. i especially like how you’ve taken the above & compared it to the ekklesia. My perception keeps changing & im so grateful it is because the Kingdom of God is ever increasing and so our understanding should also evolve. Bravo, Pamela! Thanks for sharing His heart with me.

Joe, i guess it was about 5 or 6 years ago now, i was praying about confronting someone. Correcting someone would be closer to the reality of it. In my spirit i clearly heard: The truth must be so mixed with love, that you can’t tell one from the other. Well, that cleared everything up for me in an instant & many times since then, when i pondered if love & truth were so equally mixed that neither could be singled out. Truthing in love…that really jumped out to me. Thanks for that.

In reply to Shelby Shock Marsh.

And you, me! Speaking of increasing, and evolving:)… It has been impressed upon me since writing this post that I’ve been saying a verse wrong. It’s not “where two or more are gathered, there I (Jesus) am in the midst,” but it is “where two or three…”!

Meaning, two or three is not a minimum for Jesus to be present. It is a foundational principle on which the ekklesia (church) is built. It is the principle of oneness as known by Jesus in John 17:21.

can it be said that our greatest need, our goal at this time, and quite possibly our ultimate purpose is to be found as David was found…a man after our Fathers heart. I do firmly believe that our Father is open to, and desires with deep passion to give is His best…His very heart

In reply to Joe Simmons. Dear Joe, That's good. I can see in this idea of "truthing" something that is more relational than just correcting someone with our words, and pushing them away. Recently I also saw it this way: "speaking truth [Christ] to each other, "being in love." The "being in love" part is very sobering to me, actually, because that is where I have fallen short for so long. Deep, abiding passion for one another that draws out Truth for each other, and out of each other, in intimate relationship. We have so much catching up to do in this :-)
