The slumber

Notice the light set aside for you that has been made small through unbelief. It always shines waiting for you to grab hold of it for dear life.

Do you enjoy sleeping? When someone wakes you up. do you immediately enjoy it or want to fight against the person waking you up so you can return to your sleep. I personally recount many times where I wanted to fight against the waking up of myself.

The story here isn't one of the spirit. It's one of the natural man sleeping his way through life and it's daily grind. He sees little, but what is on earth seems to appeal to him. It looks to him like much. He doesn't really compare it to the infinite. It's much in the sense that it's on earth, but the infinite doesn't even cross his mind in the muchness of his current reality.

So when someone tries to wakes us up to reality, we tend to get almost defensive of the reality we perceive on earth. We look to the ground and imagine it as part of us. We say things like, "get with reality." "this is all their is." Our believe in its state of slumber fights against the waking up of us to something more than what we are in our current form. This isn't entirely bad, it serves as a safety mechanism so we don't go out in sin claiming godhood. If you attempt the sin whilst claiming godhood you may find yourself at enmity to the infinite God. I wouldn't recommend this. I would first learn His humility in sinless love and glory to the Father, before you come at this from a perspective of being higher than anything. You will find no godhood, except in the lowliness of yourself unto His way.

Jesus in John 10:34 "Is it not written of in your law, I said, Ye are gods ?" also: Jesus in Matthew 18:3 "Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven." Now I want you to imagine an infinite God who loves you, created you and wants to enable you His infinity. This is the waking up of the soul to the truth about reality. We're looking at muchness from a perspective of lesser beings. While we are truly lesser in our current form. And must learn love from the perspective of our creator. We are not really less than the earth itself, the things upon it and so on. We're less from the perspective of God, but only that we learn to set aside sin for the glory of our Father.

For instance: Gold does not hold eternal value, it can be cast into a volcano and swallowed up. The eternity of God, is of an infinite value. Thus, your value tied(grafted in) to infinite determined by, if your love follows the truth of His own. In other words, does your love match what He would consider Love from His perspective.

"Lord Jesus, Enable my love to be of the same love yours is of."
