There is an old saying: twice a child once an adult. This means just as we entered the world needing someone to love, nurture and protect us we will need the same leaving. When all is said and done and we have met the challenges of the world, we must ask ourselves: WHO WILL CHANGE MY DIAPER when I am possibly sick or too old to take care of my self.
As it stands today, our society is creating a future of alienation and no trust in love not only as companions but also as family members towards one another. In this moment for most of us being able to work, pay our bills and watch television is all one seeks to exist. Yet, we all know by nature we were created to interact with one another and yes, love and be loved.
Recently, my mother had knee replacement surgery. In my spirit, I knew I did not want anybody to tend to her but me because I knew how crucial love plays in the healing process for all life. We will recover at the hands of strangers this we know but I wanted my mother to not only recover but grow and be encouraged through the whole ordeal because it was her first surgery ever at the age of seventy.
During her stay in the hospital, the medical staff was professional and in the beginning very kind, attentive and encouraging. By the fourth day there was a drop off on caring. This is what happens when love is not there. People get treated like a machine after awhile like when we put our vehicles in the shop. You just never know what to expect. But love is reassuring and promises that you are not alone.
In looking at your friend, companion, husband, etc., make sure you know he or she will be willing to focus in on your dependency when so much more is required of them besides laughing and playing. Make sure you know he or she will change your diaper if necessary for the rest of your life. The only certainty one can have is to seek and know they have the best love which includes God. Without a conscious of God no person in your life can be solely trusted to stand by you through thick and thin.
In the end you learn love is not just about convience. It is about commitment, loyalty, and the reality of the power of oneness throughout eternity. Your child, sibling, companion, friend, etc. must reveal the best displays of love if you are going to trust them with your well-being in times of dependency where you are not enough to see your self through. Today, take time out to look at who you have around you. WILL THEY CHANGE YOUR DIAPER?
]]>When trusting is in your life, experiences become sweeter. When you are in a state of trusting someone, your body even feels better because it does not have to be on guard as it holds all your tension and uneasiness. Looking at an infant you see how relaxed he or she is. All they have to do is receive. Because all they have to do is receive much is given from them as well, especially pure love. They give us gentleness and refreshment towards life because we are given an opportunity to have safe interactions with another human being without wondering the costs for caring and giving. People today are not too trusting because of the many deceptions experienced in relationships.
Though a lack of trust can be justified, the lack prevents us from spreading our wings. Trusting has a birthing effect that is why we must be childlike in nature to obtain the Kingdom of God. We cannot let people vex our spirit so strongly that we can't breathe freedom to love. Trust is the ability to know your inner guidance always draw all good to your life even if people try to make you see otherwise. No matter what sins people toss your way, stand in trusting God will catch it. Do not let human deceptions build life time fences of bondage. Keep moving towards the high prize of freedom to be. Without trust can not know God.
