This is our basic composition as a living organisms. We are lumps of muscle, skin, fat, nerve, bone, hair etc. But more basically still, bits of lumpy, bumpy protein, fat, and minerals.
Reflect for a moment on the importance we place on these 'stuffs.' Isn't attraction really just a statement of, 'I really like the arrangement of your protein' ?
Now think about the consequence - the sometimes devastating consequence - of having protein fat and mineral arranged in a manner others do NOT find attractive...or worthy...or capable.
We honor some protein, mineral, and fat lumps with praise, money, power, titles. And from others we demand subservience, disgrace, scorn, and invisibility.
Chemically, we are all within minutia of being identical...identical. And by portion still interchangeable. Your heart can serve me, my liver you, our protein, mineral, fat, the same.
Now think of the beauty of the spirit, the soul. Truly here is beauty worth honoring. Here is the delicacy of uniqueness. Here is the tender lamb within us each - the lamb designated by the great creator for whatever life and purpose the mighty and tender I AM intends alone. Unfettered unlimited by the likes of organic molecules. Of organs. Of flesh.
Testes, ovaries, muscle, skin, beauty, pale. None of it is real, & none of it life!
Jesus in John 4:
23Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. 24God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth."
Be not enamored with the arrangement of protein, mineral & fat! And be not dismayed by those who are, they are wrong, base. But those that use it as a criterion of true relationship & calling from God - mourn them! But do not be crippled by them, they are powerless and empty - as their protein, mineral and fat! For these chemicals are but collections of atoms - nearly entirely composed of vacant space, void. Those that stand upon such to reach God, or impede another's reach, stand entirely upon a house far emptier than one of cards.
So be not fettered by such nonsense. Dance. Dance regardless of your fleshly composition! With each movement in praise your spirit, delicate, beyond comparison, rejoices mightily in its kinship with divinity! And are you ever beautiful! Oh my! The likes of you have never been seen before! A beauty of the ages indeed! Fearfully & Wonderfully Made! Rejoice!
