Here’s the paradox in Jesus’ teaching:
What I want I must give.
But I don’t have it to give
because I am incomplete.
Remember?
So what must I do?
I must let him invade me,
must let him live in me,
so that I may give
what I do not have to give.
Only then will I discover
that in the process of giving
I have received
what I did not have.
I have become
Complete.
“For God has chosen to make known among you the riches of his glory. And this is the secret: Christ lives in you.”
~Colossians 1:27

It makes no sense to the finite mind–until the leap of faith is taken into the infinite flow of giving. Well done, Thinker of Stuffer!

This may be where understanding began to make sense. Are we missing the boat somewhere?
Very well presented.
