Lose Your Mind

It is said that one must know darkness to appreciate light. That people cannot fully experience love without tasting the bitterness in rejection. "You never know what you've got until it's gone," is a common expression. We've all heard these things but what do they really mean? I think they foreshadow a recognition deep within us... a knowledge of a longing for love that is fuller than human expression. I think it is when we come to the realization that we are disconnected from our Creator and we reach to Him that we find fulfillment in the reconnection. When we realize we have been lost is when we appreciate what it means to be found. When we experience the fullness of the love of Christ in our hearts is when we understand the emptiness of a life without Him. We understand sight by first closing our eyes and understanding blindness. There are moments in life when we have to lose our minds to come to our senses. If logic stands in the way of you embracing God's grace, than lose your mind and come to your senses. Stop thinking and let yourself feel. Then you will know the substitute from that which is real.
