"The Love of God in Us"

Okay, maybe you thought what I posted yesterday was out there; wait till you get a hold of this. I was trying to figure out a way to explain the flesh that I saw in my dream, and have to admit that it is not easy; mostly because what I saw was not human, or the way things appear to you and I. But what I saw was more like a glowing body, which was almost transparent; almost like when you put a flashlight against the palm of your hand and can see the inside tissue, veins and bones; kind of like that, just with a white tone instead of red. Without getting into a bunch of scientific mumbo-jumbo, I thought I would try to illustrate what the Lord was showing me with just some basic scientific facts. The first and most important fact to my illustration is that our blood stream delivers oxygen to all the parts of the body; every thing that is within us, and even our tissue, requires a constant supply of oxygen to survive; not just blood, but also the oxygen that is carried within the blood. Why is this so important to the Love of God? Well, for one thing, the heart of stone which we have been born with, due to the fall of man, can not pump life, or, in this case Love. So, even though we have the seed of God's Love within the core of our being, there is nothing there to circulate and get that Love flowing. But God; who commands the stars to stay in their places, has made this heart of stone into a heart of flesh; flesh which pumps blood, and which provides the needed oxygen to the soul, or in this case, God's Holy Spirit, which is the Breath of Life. In case you were not aware; my wife's condition was caused by a lack of oxygen to the brain. It seems that the brain requires oxygen also, and lots of it. When you deprive the brain of it's needed oxygen for an extended period of time (in her case it was 35 minutes), the brain begins to die and the vital functions of what the brain controls can be lost. This lack of oxygen to the brain was the cause of a failed heart; her heart just stopped working. One of the reasons that we found which caused her heart to stop, was a lack of blood being supplied to her heart; in other words, she bleed to death. It would seem that there is also a supply of blood required to keep things moving; the pumping heart will not pump without a certain amount of the material that it is to pump. Much like the illustration that I saw in my dream; that seed of God's Love, although it is present, is not enough to bring that stony heart to life. But God!!!! "But God, who is rich in mercy, for His great Love wherewith He loved us, even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened (made us alive) us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved); and hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: That in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace, in His kindness toward us, through Christ Jesus." (Ephesians 2:4-7)
