receiving

i’ve been thinking about God and how he must be growing in his ability to receive love. to receive good. to receive beauty. so much is directed toward him. he gets a lot of attention. he gets a lot of love. how his heart must keep growing to bear it all. how he must learn to not feel guilty for how much he gets. how much lavishness he must get used to.

and we are made in his image. meant to bear more and more good. more and more love. yes, guilt can sometimes get in the way. but not for long. because happiness begins to outweigh the guilt. feeling full of love begins to feel better than guilt.

how much love can we bear? more every day.
