[Discoveries] 09-30-07 The way of love - John 1:14

/*The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. -- John 1:14*/

The way of love is to enter the world of the person you wish to love.

In the summer of 2002 I interviewed Tamara White who has a ministry to 
gangs, street people and "throw-aways" in Denver, Colorado. I have 
enormous respect for Tamara, because, at great risk to herself, she goes 
where the people are, where the need is, and there she makes her 
dwelling. She has been stalked. She has been shot at with Uzi submachine 
guns. Tamara has done things that, frankly, I would be scared to do. She 
has lived in places I wouldn't want my daughters to even visit. But she 
cares, so she goes, and she makes a difference.

The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. What a risk taker 
God is! How courageous He is to humble Himself. To become one of us. To 
get lost in the mass of insignificant humanity. To mingle with us on our 
own turf.

God pioneered the way of love. He entered the world of the ones He 
wanted to love. Now we know that we matter to Him.

Be encouraged!
Dwight
