Errors are to be, but desire to be together triumphs over all

You know that if these conversations get beyond just the two of us that there will be a lot of questions, and comments, and judgments – both about You describing Yourself, and me about getting ‘right’ what I think I have heard. It’s probably something that’s not usually in the annals of religion, or spirituality, and probably to be written off as metaphysical, to be ignored.

And maybe it becomes a negative reflection on me – do I seek to protect myself? Should I keep these conversations private and miss the controversial? In many ways I think I should – it is after all an ongoing private conversation; but I also think there is value in others hearing the words of comfort, kindness, and love You have expressed, especially in these difficult and uncertain times.

I, too, am in amazement at times at the inherent folly of man to reject words of kindness and love, belonging and peace, of a heart contentment because these words do not come to them as they desire they should. Man continually bases his thought of the future on his experience of the past, as if there is no possibility of something new to be understood, especially from Me.

Have I said all things to be said? Is all within man’s books, and all wisdom and understanding been revealed in full? Can man just seek within the past and find all the answers to life? Is there only a search within the past and no walk with Me now? Would a father treat a child so?

Love is not found in the past; it is an experience of the now, within each moment of being together. Surely there is an experience of Me within the past, and that is relationship, but that relationship is always ongoing, always revealing, a continually drawing nearer. There are new experiences to share, new revelations of each other, new words. We grow together.

And so to your point – these are the moments of our relationship, our time together, our hearts as one, and meant to be cherished by each. This is us; and we are one. It’s okay for others to have a peek and perhaps be motivated in a way to discovery, to have a relationship with Me too. And I would desire and cherish that relationship with them as I have with you. But for anyone to judge our togetherness is not for them, or for you. It just is to be. We see it as it is, and what it might become, and we yearn for that – however it might develop. Errors are to be, but desire to be together triumphs over all.

Man continually bases his thought of the future on his experience of the past, as if there is no possibility of something new to be understood, especially from Me.

God is speaking of an evolving connection with Him — a relationship that is not just confined to our past experience or limited by our future expectation. It is a relationship that unfolds in the present — always new, always growing.

Love and connection are motion, and not stillness. They cannot be fully captured by clinging to what was or just to what is written.

“Behold, these are but the outskirts of His ways,

and how small a whisper do we hear of Him!

But the thunder of His power who can understand?” — Job 26.14

Love is not found in the past; it is an experience of the now, within each moment of being together. Surely there is an experience of Me within the past, and that is relationship, but that relationship is always ongoing, always revealing, a continually drawing nearer. There are new experiences to share, new revelations of each other, new words. We grow together.

God is expressing a truth: the tendency for us to anchor understanding in the familiar, in the past. Experiences of the past are meaningful, yet He would

invite us into a future of discovery. He reminds us of His continual presence and His desire for us to experience new possibilities that unfold in the moment.

This kind of journey with Him challenges the notion that all wisdom is already known. He urges for a direct, personal walk with Him rather than a reliance solely on what has been recorded or experienced before.

“Now there are also many other things that Jesus did. Were every one of them to be written, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would be written.”

— John 21.25
