Just for Today, 5/28/23: Service

Perception can be imperative when caring for others loved ones. True panic and anxiety can set in w some furbabies being separated from their owners. Needless to say caring for animals can be an easy task when doing the bare minimum. Creating experiences, I notice a difference in their behavior as I use the power of presence to ground myself in realizing I’m all they have in the moment. Tender treatment. I learn from them and while it seems I’m helping them out, their innocence is healing. I’m grateful to be trusted.

Love is such a bullshit concept. You tell someone you love them and they either think it’s just a casual friendly love or they think it’s romantic and suddenly they assume this that and the other about what you feel. I’m aromantic, I feel a deep, soulfilling love for certain people in my life. It is not romantic, it is not sexual. It is entirely platonic, but it is love. Our vocabulary around love is so romance centric that I cannot talk about it in nonromantic terms. I cannot tell my friend the extent to which I love her without a lengthy explanation that it’s not like that and I feel love differently.

All I want to be able to say is simply “every meaning of love that I can feel in my heart, I feel for you” and I want my friends to know what that means to me.

Soulful Connections In Spiritual Love | 1 Samuel 18:1-4

Are you perverting or forsaking experiences in love?

Welcome to the Daily Devo. I am Vince Miller.

This week, we are reading 1 Samuel 18. I've titled this chapter "Allies and Adversaries."

David comes back from defeating Goliath and speaks with King Saul with the head of Goliath in his hand, and we pick up in verse 1:

As soon as he had finished speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was knit to the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul. And Saul took him that day and would not let him return to his father's house. Then Jonathan made a covenant with David, because he loved him as his own soul. And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was on him and gave it to David, and his armor, and even his sword and his bow and his belt. — 1 Samuel 18:1-4

What we witness here is a deep, soulful connection between Jonathan and David. You will see love for David all over this chapter:

Jonathan loved him as his own soul (18:1).

He loved him as his own soul (18:3).

But all Israel and Judah loved David (18:16).

Michal loved David (18:20).

Saul's daughter loved him (18:28).

There is something unique about brotherly affection or spiritual love. It is distinct and fulfilling in a way that some do not understand. I have experienced this numerous times in my ministry and spiritual life. Jesus referenced this in Matthew 12 when he was in a crowded home, and his biological family was waiting outside for him. Here's the text:

While he was still speaking to the people, behold, his mother and his brothers stood outside, asking to speak to him. But he replied to the man who told him, “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?” And stretching out his hand toward his disciples, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers! For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.” — Matthew 12:46-50

Jesus is referencing the divine family we are adopted into under the Heavenly Father and the fact that this relationship between us, him, and each other enjoys certain benefits and priorities that transcend those of our biological family.

In my opinion, the gay community loves to hijack a misinterpretation of this relationship. It uses it as textual support for homosexual love when there is no evidence of this anywhere between these two men. They read homosexual love into this text (i.e., eisegesis), which twists and perverts the beauty of the love between these two men because they don't understand the profound connection of spiritual love.

But, while the gay community perverts it, many in the Christian community forsake it. Believers often miss out on the experience of true spiritual love because we are not committed to a community of faith. We get saved. We may attend a church. But if we are not connected with the community, we behave like consumers. Christian consumers miss out on the soulful experience of spiritual love. When we don't experience it, this has an ongoing effect on spiritual love because if we are not it, we won't talk about it, share it, or extend it.

I experience spiritual love with believers all the time. It's not sexual, but it is soulfilling. These soulful friends are closer than a biological brother (Prov. 18:24). They pour into me, and I pour into them, and I have no problem leaving a conversation with them, declaring, "I love you, brother."

I think every believer wants to know this, and I believe Jesus wants you to enjoy it. But to experience it, you must stop forsaking (or perverting) spiritual love in the family of faith. Only you can take the needed initiative and insert yourself into a relationship with believers. It will take time and effort, but once you experience it, you will know what it means to be knit to the soul of another. And then you will know what David and Jonathan had here, that was so special.

#SpiritualLove, #BrotherlyBond, #DivineConnection

Ask This:

How can you actively seek out and cultivate deeper, soulful connections within your faith community, and what steps might you take to move beyond a consumer mentality in your relationships with fellow believers?

In what ways might you be inadvertently perverting or forsaking the true nature of spiritual love, and how can you realign your approach to fully embrace and experience the depth of affection described between David and Jonathan?

Do This:

Take the initiative and experience spiritual love.

Pray This:

Lord, help me recognize and cherish the profound spiritual connections You’ve placed in my life. Guide me to actively engage with my faith community in a meaningful way. Teach me to embrace and reflect Your divine love, fostering relationships that mirror the depth of the bond between David and Jonathan. Amen.

Play This:

Brother.

A scripture that clearly shows that Christ love for us is a concentrate ...It's so intense and undeniable ...👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:7-8 Not that we were too good or too holy or too truthful but he loved us when we hid ourselves deep down in sin and shame.... Your soul needs a soul mate like Jesus ....���❤️❤️❤️❤️ #bibleverse #biblequotes #daily #quotes #quotestagram #jesusquotes #soulfilled #undeniable #intenselove #christ #christdiedforoursins #hesearchedforme #hefoundme #hislove #ireckon #romans5 #readbible #scriptures #openheart #saturdaymorning #saturdayvibes #haveafabulousday #praisehim #loveyoujesus #goodnoon #peace (at India) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCxkXGvDjV2/?igshid=t3k1kjvhev2u

I still can't believe how perfectly you brought them into life.

That you are honoring that story with not one but two soulfilled drawings, which is always hitting the bulls eye in case of emotion, makes me speechless.

Thank you so, so much! Your drawings-with-feelings are so precious, keep creating that art and continue to make our hearts flutter💕

Your ego is like a second stomach that you have to constantly feed with self affirmations and imitations of love from other people so you can temporarily feel good about yourself. Your ego's hunger will never end. Drop the ego you weren't born with so you can worship the way you were born to. #soulfilled #holyspirit #thereverendgracielarae #grazielaraecapuano #gracielarae #preaching #evangelism #kingdomofgod #churchofjesuschrist (at Jesus Changing Lives Ministries)

Your future self doesn't just refer to you ten years from now.

It refers to you at the end of this week.

In one hour.

In five minutes.

Eating disorders come with a handful of self-sabotaging thoughts and behaviors,

They make us panic and undo the things we have done to move forward....

Making us relieved for a second and then angry at ourselves for falling back into our ways.

What if when we faced resistance and fear and panic....we thought about the person we want to be.

Recovered.

Spontaneous.

Healthy.

Normal.

FREE?!?!

Imagine you are that person.

How would you respond to your current situation?

What would you want to look back and say about the decisions you made?

What would you tell yourself now?

What would you look back on and laugh at?

Before you binge, think about how you want to feel later....after the binge.

Do you want to feel sick and guilty?

Before you restrict, think about how you want to live the rest of your life.

Do you want to have kids?

Do you want to have strong bones?

Do you want to make excuses not to eat meals with your family or have a slice of your wedding cake?

Before you go purge or spend hours at the gym working off what you just ate, think about how you want to spend your time.

Do you want to spend time throwing up your whole life?

Making excuses for being up at 2am or getting caught with your head over the toilet?

Do you want to spend precious moments that you could be spending with family and friends at the gym?

Nursing injuries?

Do you want to have to keep pushing yourself to take a step forward, only to undo it and have to take that same step all over again?

Think about your future self.

Ten years from now and one hour from now.

What can you do right now to make her proud?

What can you do that she will thank you for?
