Blind Spot part 3
This is one of my favorite progressions in all of Scripture. And it has to do with seeing things the way they really are. Which has to do with our blind spots. Which is why I'm using it here. I try to use it as often as I can. Ready? Song of Solomon 1:5, "Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold thou art fair; thou hast doves' eyes." Pretty flowery language, right? But connect it to Luke 3:22, "And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased," and we really start cooking with peanut oil. Because the doves' eyes are the eyes of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is our love receptor. He leads and guides us into all truth. The truth that God is love and He loves you. Having doves' eyes lets us SEE that love in our lives. And, if you notice, it comes from our love telling us how amazing we are. Faith comes from hearing and hearing from the Word (which is Jesus, which is love) of God. The dove is so vitally important to this abundant, everlasting, eternal, Resurrection Life of love that we have been given. Beause nobody can live Jesus' life except Jesus. But we CAN experience His life by letting HIM live it in us, and through us, and as us. We can experience His love by knowing it and believing it. By receiving it and releasing it. Now watch this: Song of Solomon chapter 1 spoke of us having doves' eyes. Seeing with the Holy Ghost. Letting the light shine in our lives so that we can see things clearly. So things can be revealed to be in Divine Order. Listen--things have been in Divine Order--in the fulness of manifestation--ever since the cross. But what you see is what you be. The truth--again, that God is love and He loves you--has set you free and made you free. But if you don't KNOW you're free, you'll keep acting like a slave. So then we get to Song of Solomon chapter 5. "I sleep, but my heart waketh: it is the voice of my beloved that knocketh, saying, Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled: for my head is filled with dew, and my locks with the drops of the night" (Song 5:2). Did you catch that? First our Beloved told us that we had doves' eyes. So that we could see His love for us. Then, as we move onward, we ARE the dove. What you see is what you be. When you can see love... you can BE love. When you know and believe that God loves you, that's when you can love Him back. By loving people. That's when you can truly experience that life of love. Jesus came to make those who (thought they) could see blind. And He came to make those who were blind see. He came to show us who God is, by showing us who (and what) love is. So that we could have relationship with God and relationship with each other. We ARE doves. The Holy Ghost lives in us. Lives THROUGH us. The love inside coming out. What you see is what you be. What you believe is inside you WILL come out. You don't have to have a blind spot. You can let the light shine and see clearly. You can let God's love flow through you. Let God love the hell out of you, and love the hell out of people!
