What stood out today:
From the book "Surrender to Love: Discovering the Heart of Christian Spirituality" by David G. Benner
Pg 76 The naked self “Love is transformational only when it is received in vulnerability."
Pg 78 “The crux of the problem is that I cannot feel the love of God because I do not dare to accept it unconditionally.”
From The TV show House #120 Love Hurts 41:40
"Its not about the pain. Its about being open and completely vulnerable to another person. If you can learn to be that deeply trusting… it changes you.”
My response: God, how strange to have this book and TV show converge on love that trusts. In “House” a dominatrix says these words that are so true when set in a context with you. Trust, vulnerability, openness, submission, are all components of authentic love. Holy Spirit, thank you for moving me to spend time with Jesus in a contemplative state, in a way “snuggling” with Him.
