Revelation

 

This quote is food for thought. Not many of us think much about our souls. What is the soul? Can it be easily defined? There are many descriptions and definitions for the soul depending on where you look. The wikipedia states : "Refers to one's life". Other sources refer to the soul as that part of us where emotions and things that make us who we are reside. Others combine the spirit and soul as that part of us that lives on when we die. The prayer "Now I lay me down to sleep. If I die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take" infers that it is eternal. (Matthew 10:28, 1 Peter 2:11) Both refer to the soul as being damaged by negative actions (NRSV-NJB-KJB-NAB). The soul is referred to often in the old testament but only twice in the new testament, at least in the 4 versions I checked. I am sure the 20+ versions I have would be the same to some degree. Love is without question God, for God is Love. (1 John 4:8) 1 John is about god's love and our love for god. I don't know what that piece of soul is but I wouldn't be surprised if it was missing love. Love is the one thing that has the power to make us complete and acceptable before God. It is the one piece of our existence that our spirit needs to be eternal. There are many naysayers that say the spirit die when we die. Without love that may very well be true. Without love we are truly dead men walking.

      There is little about me I do not know. If I share me and you share you, we shall become more complete.   This is friendship based on love.

 

********************

Others may see good in me but I see my sinfulness. It presses me on to You, to give myself to You. The good that others see is unsure and full of doubt since it is not yet complete. You are complete and it draws me near to You.  You are my hope and my dream for my life and the life of those around me. May Your glory be complete in us Lord Jesus.
