Oneness

The origin of the word self is "separate, apart."

I was thinking the other day about unconditional love. It's hard to imagine, sometimes, simply because it is so rarely seen. People's loyalties are divided. They will say one thing to one person, and another thing to another person. This is because people think they are against each other, and a neutral person in a situation, in attempting to pacify both parties, ends up dividing their loyalties. They cannot, then, love with completeness because they are only ever giving a percentage of the whole to any one person.

It would be easy to say that Yahweh, being infinite, can give completely to each and every person whether they're working together or separately. In war movies, I've seen both sides pray for victory. This isn't it, however. Even if He gives completely to both sides so that each side is filled to capacity, that would still only be giving a percentage or fraction of the whole--Himself--to each side. The part of Him that one side has could not also be had by the other side. This isn't it! Yahweh is not for one side and against another. His loyalties aren't divided. They don't have to be.

Yahweh is 100% for us. He is 100% for each and every one of us. That's actually where the word forgiveness comes from. To give completely.

And He can give Himself completely to each of us because we are each on the same team. We truly aren't fighting each other. The battle was never against flesh and blood. It is against self. Separation. Lies. It is against these powers and principalities and rulers in dark places. It is against being against.

Instead, we are FOR. 100% for. That we may all be One as Yahweh has always desired, always designed, it to be.

And when self dies and debt is removed, the joining can be complete, that we are all One in Christ, all things, both which are in heaven and which are on earth--in Him.
