Love

An excerpt from writings of "Isaac the Syrian" (died AD 700'ish):

"...Love inebriates the souls of the sons and daughters of heaven by its delectability.

When we find love, we partake of heavenly bread and are made strong without labor and toil. The heavenly bread is Christ, who came down from heaven and gave life to the world...The person who has found love eats and drinks Christ every day and every hour.

...Love is the wine “which maketh glad the heart.” Blessed is the one who partakes of this wine!
...Licentious people have drunk this wine and become chaste;
sinners have drunk it and have forgotten the pathways of stumbling;
drunkards have drunk this wine and become fasters;
the rich have drunk it and desired poverty;
the poor have drunk it and been enriched with hope;
the sick have drunk it and become strong;
the unlearned have taken it and become wise..."

Many who thirst for a greater revelation of God's love have been labelled "selfish" or "passive christians".
I label them as WISE!

Have a glorious day guys :-)
