All we have to do is let You spend time with us. Everything else will flow from that.
You just want to be with us. You are interested in us! You are the consciousness — the actual individual person — who has masterminded the universe. You literally are, yourself, the most interesting man alive, and you are interested in us.
You are SO interested in us.
This is actually all that we have ever been looking for. It is literally the one thing that we are most interested in, ourselves. Any person currently in possession of their right mind would be interested in reciprocation, to a degree beyond what is normal. Any person aware of reality would lunge at the opportunity to engage in this kind of friendship with God.
By and large, it would seem that our problem is basically that we are often not aware of reality. Not really.
There is literally nothing difficult involved here except letting go of whatever it is that would fight against You for our loyalty. Everything else done experientially with You is actually like an ethereal dance through heaven on Earth; even a painful, traumatizing life experience can crystalize into something beautiful, in the mind of one possessed by Grace, and the times and seasons which would normally be otherwise enjoyable, or even mundane, are, with You, a spiritual all-you-can-eat buffet of existential bliss.
But we must choose to let this mind be in us, which was also in Christ; we must allow Christ in us, the hope of glory, to have the final say in our moment-by-moment decision making process, or else we get involved in some kind of being-stuck activity, and this slows down our progress towards our destiny.
That is the great big conundrum of the gospel. This is the great offense. We have existing allegiances which contradict our love relationship with the Creator, and these must be chosen against…or they will slow us down.
