Christ and I love you.
Christ and I love all people.
Lust enslaves. Christ taught that not just committing adultery was contrary to God’s Guidance and so saddening God’s Heart, Christ taught us that looking lustfully at another saddens God’s Heart, is contrary to God’s Guidance, and is sinful. This is a much harder one to navigate. One of the things that has come to me over the years with this is that just as a surfer doesn’t ride every wave that comes at them, falling into lust is not the temptation that comes our way, it is only if we ride the wave of the temptation and fall to imaging and imagining copulation with someone we are not joined in sacred marriage with.
The other thing that has come to me is to realize that falling into lust is a “closing up” action.
Our role for Christ in the ever unfolding gorgeous incredible riot of amazing beautiful creation is to be ever opening, ever flourishing, ever listening to Jesus, God, and Holy Spirit, ever hosting Jesus, God, and Holy Spirit, and ever sharing the Light, Love, and Joy of Jesus, God, and Holy Spirit so as to foster flourishing and relationship of God with others.
I love you and so does Jesus, God, and Holy Spirit along with Mother Mary, Saint Joseph, your Gaurdian Angel along with Saint James, Saint Joan, Saint Therese Lisieux, and Saint Anthony love you and each person very much always, all locations.
