Boundless love

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT... since it's kind of awkward posting soundless videos on YouTube that provide a link to this blog, i'll be posting more on the community tab on YouTube. If you go to a youtube channel there's "Home" "Videos" "Shorts" "Live" "Playlist" then "Community".

As a hard guy, community isn't a necessity. I walk on hot coals for love and acceptance!! (I'm joking... God made families)

So what does boundless love mean? It means love with no boundaries. I believe that boundaries are necessary in growth. A baby needs to have boundaries around their bed or around the stairs because they may hurt themselves.

In the same way, different people groups need boundaries so they won’t go to war, in my opinion.

When we meet a new person, we want to classify them... put them in bounds.

“Where are you from?” “What do you do?”

Gandhi was a man with boundless love. I just watched the movie where Ben Kingsley acted as him. He loved Hindu Indians and Muslim Indians. The Muslim Indians went on to form Pakistan. Who knew!!

Lao Tzu taught on something like no borders and no law in the Tao Te Ching but in my opinion he was a great man that had a high measure of the law in his heart, so what he taught was like prophecy of what the world would look like maybe 2000 years from now.

As one of the actors said in that Gandhi movie "Not all men are Gandhi." Not all people are Lao Tzu.

How can we attain this boundless love that so few attain?

Proverbs – Ecclesiastes – Song of Solomon

These three books were written by King Solomon.

I believe Proverbs presents a world of order and karma where love is recompensed. This exists.

Proverbs 11:27 He who earnestly seeks good finds favor, but trouble will come to him who seeks evil.

However, I think Ecclesiastes shows that sometimes God can withhold karma to see why a person does what they do. For rewards? He’ll take away rewards and observe the person in absolute silence. Then they will probably say…

Ecclesiastes 6:8 For what more has the wise man than the fool?

In my view, the meditations of Job are the same as Ecclesiastes.

It’s like God befriends people by first appearing as their enemy or opposer. Like a friend presses the location of a bee sting to remove the stinger.

This is the cross of Christ. By this, a person is set truly free. First by belief (in Jesus' sacrifice on the cross for access to God through the cleansing of their sins), then imitation. The light of God then finds its way through the soul to the body.

Egypt - Wilderness - Promised land

The one that does good for the sake of goodness, choosing goodness as their reward and not anything else, will enter into Song of Solomon I believe. The garden of God with waves of milk and honey. I think goodness itself produces the milk and honey. Fruits of the Holy Spirit. This choosing of goodness for the sake of goodness is impossible without dependence on God. So a simple desire for God achieves it.

If a car salesman wanted to prove that a car window is bulletproof, they’d smack it with a hammer. When it’s approved, it’s received.

Spiritual knowledge, spiritual power, physical knowledge, and physical power have to be encircled or contained by love for God and man. If they extend past love, they will be corrupted. Which is what Satan wants for us… more knowledge, more power so we can destroy ourselves.

When authority is sought, it looks ugly but when it’s given with grace to a prepared individual, it’s as if creation sings.

So I think it's better not to be in such a big rush and as hard as I find it... trying not to compare. Our worthiness is simply based on oneness with God.

This is where the simplicity of Jesus’ message comes in…

Matthew 5:38-42 “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ But I tell you not to resist an evil person. But whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also. If anyone wants to sue you and take away your tunic, let him have your cloak also. And whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two. Give to him who asks you, and from him who wants to borrow from you do not turn away.

But as the world is, some people would choose to manipulate people that follow this teaching. So as Jesus said...

Matthew 10:16 “Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves”

So I don't think it's about following a commandment as it is about gaining the heart or spirit of the commandment and being wise or discerning about it. Laws are usually meant for children. "Don't do this" "Do that". The adult usually has the spirit of the law they grew up with.

God will give anything to a person with boundless love because they know that they already have all things.

By this love, Jesus received all authority in Heaven and Earth which He uses to draw people into love.

Where can we get this love?

By being around love itself.

Around God who is love.
