Innocence

Obviously an all consuming longing for something can be registered in anyone at any stage or age; instead of nurturing these longings, the emphasis is directed towards nurturing agape adventures grounded in an innocence-consciousness! Living from the awareness of completeness rather than need - "To the hungry, everything that is bitter is sweet but he who is satisfied, loathes the honey" Prov 27:7 - Here is the complete verse, 2 Tim 2:22 The best way to escape the snare and distractions of youthful lusts, which are often typified by an all consuming longing for forbidden pleasures, is to pursue and engage your life actively in everything that celebrates your redeemed oneness. Instead of a sin-consciousness, cultivate a righteousness-consciousness. Become addicted to the adventures of faith; let the agape-love of God romance you into his rest where you cease from striving and bask in completeness. Feast on peace, celebrate your joint togetherness with everyone who has mutually discovered their original identity in the Lord. Live your life from this place of innocence, from your heart.
