Passion

Okay, so here's the deal.

Today, during the lecture on Islam, the prof. taught something really touching. The funny thing is, it deals with my own spiritual growth too. A woman named Rabi'ah al-Adawiyah came up with the idea that for Islam religion, that loving God goes beyond just spiritual love, but involves the passionate love for God, as we have for our husbands, wives, girlfriends or boyfriends. I realized as I heard that, that passion, as imperfect as we are, is what we love with.

"Loving God isn't perfect, until it is filled with what is most imperfect about us - our love; the passionate love we share with the ones we say we love in our lives."

It's all about the passion. Lord, fill me with a passion to love you, and make it imperfect, but perfect through you.

Amen
