Patience in Tilling

Adults can be cruel. There are times I can remember, as I’m sure you can, being labeled by adults when we were just kids. Some of these we’re Jesus believing people. Sometimes, as adults, we literally have no sense. No sense of mind, no sense of Truth, no sense of being or reality either. We think we have it altogether. We can’t recall our own dungeons as a child. We can’t see past our own experience. In fact, we let that experience be the dominant and deciding factor of all of our future life of labels we will place upon others. We haven’t learned to forgive, we don’t know even how to move on, to move passed ourselves, to ultimately move passed the labels. We keep getting in the way. We’re so loud. The voices of others. The noise is deafening, and we’re deaf.

However, as adults we can and ought to decipher. Reading this (if you consider yourself an adult) you can determine if it “fits” your life lense or narrative, choose to accept or reject it. Some won’t even read it, they’ll choose before hand whether to accept or reject based on what their perception is of the writer, of men, of women, of politics, of race, creed, culture, the past, the future, the penmanship of the author, or simply the general look or design of it.

Some will decipher based on their growth, life experiences that have taught them life beyond labels, their own personal “goads” of wisdom they’ve stored up.

Some will read and analyze based on their knowledge of the scriptures, the Word of God, the Bible, and what they’ve gleaned to be a higher moral law, yet still filtered through a human lense.

But, what if we stepped out of that way of being?

Love is the ideal foundation for everything. If everything were done in the quest for love, we might all eventually have stronger relationships, more solid commitments. But it doesn’t always work out this way. There is usually a rather large barrier in between creating this love platform and the end result. In order to truly till for love, we must let this barrier go. What is this barrier? It’s us. Sometimes we’re to big.

We can find ourselves in the way if we look into the decisions we make. They may sound something like, “I’d like to see this happen, BUT…(fill in the excuse). This excuse usually revolves around a but. The truth is the main thing that even handicaps us when it comes to tilling for love, is our big old “but’s!” Either that or how about the culprit, “if only…”.

There is truly no way around it, around us. So, what’s the answer? How do we till for love?

Since there is no way around our “but’s”, maybe the best way is to till right through them. Till right through ourselves. If we can be provoked to begin within ourselves, in an effort to reach others, to share a love platform with others… we might possibly have a chance at producing something.

Some things to think about when tilling for love:

Water– We can see it, we can feel it, we can look right through it. In this we can learn how to be.

Patience– About the fruit… it may not come when or as expected.

Blindness– Act as if we’re blind when it comes to faith rather than love. Let love guide clearly.

To till is to work. And as with any work, there is reward. Letting ourselves be consumed by the very thing we’re working towards, in particular when it’s love, is a crucial, even necessary part of this reward.
How do we till for love? Let Love overtake us…

Why do we till for love? Yet the reason is still the same…
