We are been on a discourse in ICON about `The Love' since MathewSamuel Albany wrote on this. I had seen many opinions on this andmade things more complicated while on writing their perspectives.
Let me tell every one that nothing incomprehensive in it…It is verysimple.
When Jesus Came into the world he taught us the God as our father.Because Adam had received the breath of His breath. We are from Himand we are His children.
As we humans love our children irrespective of their behavior andpattern of their life they choose, Our father in heaven too. Thatdoesn't mean we as fathers never punish our children when they dowrong.This is out of our love towards them to correct them and nothingmore. That had happened in the Garden of Aden too. Before they sentout of the garden he gave the promise to rescue them in thefullness of time.As he promised He did.
When Adam was sent out of the Garden, he was placed in a miniatureparadise "The Family" where he experienced the celestial love. Butfrom the very beginning the serpent intruded to the family andspoiled the divine nature of the family. He put hatred against theLove. Thus Cain and Abel caught victims and still it continues. Thusthe divine love turned into selfish love. Now this prevails onearth.
We are now living in an era of blindness and fail to see ourbrother. Remember God is our father and all humans are our bothersand sisters.
When Jesus came he re taught the whole 10 commandments into 2. Loveyour God (Father) and love your brothers and sisters (neighbor).
Since we are selfish we always fail to see our brothers and onlyfather. Many said to me I am not Jesus to forgive any one who isagainst me. Jesus asked forgiveness for the people who try to killhim not because they were just people, but they were His brothers(as son God) and His children ( as God Himself).Let me explain further. Suppose if our children hurts us any manner,would we forgive them ? Yes we would.. no doubt. Why ? Because weLOVE them and so we could forgive them.
This is the celestial LOVE that we attained from our Heavenlyfather. Worship of God is being ness with the Father. When we say weneed worship to be shortened, we become New Adams to hide fromthe father because of our nakedness of our sins. Even clerics saythat. They may get applause and they will be adored asrevolutionists. But think separation from God is more harmful for usto receive his Grace, Marcy and LOVE.
LOVERS wont complain about the time. They sit together and talk andenjoy each other . They don't want to part. When this LOVE fadesthey abandon each other.. quite natural. Then onwards they tell eachother that they have another appointment or ask the other to finishit over phone.
When our LOVE towards our Father fades we need our worship to beshortened. Understand this. We came naked and we go naked alone. Weare accountable towards our Father. What we are going to say?We had some busy schedules on earth and we missed you over there…
Don't be afraid of being with the father for 3 hours a week and somehours a day. He LOVES you irrespective of what you are and who youare. He could forgive you. He is there to embrace you as his lovingson or daughter. He is rich in everything. The inheritance is yours.The WILL is written on behalf of you. Then why do you worry aboutthe petty things. He will take care of you and bless you more thanbefore. Try it and find it yourself. Then no more you will complainto cut short the worship.
As Fr.MKK wrote in this series : " As we know there are no many Godto judge us. He will indeed look for what is our mission. He willonly look on what we DID than what we SAID".
This is true indeed!!
