I dreamed of an aunt, an uncle, a mentor, who said,
"I couldn't love you more if you had been my own child."
And I thought, God loves me, loves me
infinitely.
What if God were to say to me,
"I couldn't love you more if you had been my own Son"?
Could I stand the responsibility
of a love so great it would give up
God's greatest gift, life itself?
Eek!
And I thought, but Christ,
the Second Persona of the Godhead,
is the one Christians celebrate as
true God AND true human being,
the perfect marriage of God and humanity.
Christians focus so much on
the divine presence
in the human Jesus of Nazareth
that maybe we tend to downplay
the human presence
in the divine and illimitable Godhead.
Maybe God COULDN'T love me more
if I had been God's own Child.
Maybe I AM God's own Child.
Maybe I have to live up to that.
Eek!
