Complete

seeing-the-light

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.

  6. Nancy Ruegg says:

    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!

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