LOVE's Ligature

Don't ask how I got there, it's just what Holy Spirit does when I ask Him to take me. Between 2 Corinthians 5 & 6 and Random House Dictionary I was all over "ligature".

Ligature is a combining, blending, uniting, tying up, connecting and bonding. You can see it in typesets and graphics, a "slur" in music, a thread in surgery and even a wedding.

For this reason they will be united and become one flesh.

Remain in Me and I will remain in you.

So that they may be one as we are one.

Flesh of my flesh.

I have tattooed a picture of you on the palm of My hand.

He who unites himself with the Lord is one with him in spirit.

So that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.

We are called to be peacemakers, to reconcile and bring healing as LOVE's ligatures. The surgical threads that make good again, repair and restore. The written threads that tie the Truth to hearts, binding us to His promises. The musical threads that bring the sounds of heaven to ears on earth, songs of delight and assurance. The lifelines that declare we are accepted--sin's dispute is settled, we are compatible with our Abba (He even calls us His friends). There is no opposition. There is no condemnation. Only His guarantee of unending love.
