In His Likeness w/ AntTBri

“Let love be your only debt…!” (Romans 13:8 CEV)

Typically,  I owe you (s) are given as promissory notes. I promise to do, give and provide in the future what I am unable to today. It gives the recipient something to look forward to and keeps the giver accountable to the standard of love. I wonder how many of us live and love intentionally honoring our promise. Do we live and love cognitive of renewal, refresh, redo moment by moment ? Is that even possible? Do we make good on our IOU (s)?  Is this the guarantee needed to secure authentic relationship?  When’s the last time you gave or honored a debt of love without imposing suspicion,  suggestion or stipulation?  Is that the debt we owe?

Why would Paul tell the Roman church to owe no man nothing but love?  Was he merely talking about financial responsibility, capitalizing on stewardship, or was he trying to deflect the burden of debt?  Maybe he was telling them “if you’re going to be weighed down or carry the burden of anything let it be the responsibilty of reciprocating love.  What if we lived and loved owing extravagant expressions and experiences of love?  Is it possible to live and love honoring the time and attention God’s love requires? Is this the debt to which Paul was referring? Is this the debt that you and I are to owe?

Can we promise and gaurantee “everyday given us we will love as we are loved (verse 9) without harming others ( verse 10)? Do we accept and reciprocate these type of IOU(s)?   How many of us would really trust that without suspicion,  stipulation and suggestion? Would a person do, give and provide the gift or debt of love on a continuum? Does that even happen in life and love? How many of us live and love conscious of the debt we owe?

I owe you love that understands both weakness and strength. I owe you love that respects and supports your person, passion and purpose.  I owe you love that is sure, safe and secure in the foundation of Jesus Christ. I owe you love that is energetic, enthusiastic, exceptional, encouraging, edifying and educational. The love I owe makes you, your heart my target.  The fact that I am to love you never changes; the degree in which I show, share and speak to it grows.

Basic acceptance, appreciation and acknowledgement should be given to everyone.  There should be however benefits/blessings to committed love that keeps us intricately connected. Family, friendship, fellowship among the relational is more intimate.  We owe the debt of more effort. In addition to understanding we also undergird life and love.  We extend ourselves on their behalf to help make experiences and expressions better. Life and love connected and committed grows and matures us.

Interpersonal IOU (s)  are more creative, carefree and courageous because they are more intentional about exploring and discovering life and love together.  What better aspiration is there to living and loving as one? Do we owe eachother the request of forever? Maybe it’s more of a promise of forever.  I promise to forever love you intentionally,  intimately and intricately connected to the heart of God. I owe you time, attentiveness, respect and honor. I owe you opportunities to rebound, repent and reproduce from the greatness within. I owe you another chance because love never fails, gives up or abandons its stance. I owe you my strength, Support and substance. I owe you the very best of me.

IOU moments when you can have it your way, moments when your request is my command.  Moments where you can safely disrobe without judgment or fear.  I owe you hugs that reassure, kisses that ignite desire and a heart in which you can safely trust. IOU a place that is all your own that you can enter and exit whenever you need recharging.  IOU the passion of life and love this side of heaven, the thrill of private exploration.  IOU opportunities to unleash your beast upon my beauty… creative adventures, carefree access to treatments,  treasures, touches, tastes and treats that will climax in courageous discoveries of eachothers essence.  IOU the meeting of minds and the joining of the truest of life and love’s expression. I owe you the zest of life and love the promise of spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical stimulation. I owe you life and loves’  redo, renewal and refreshing on a continuum…IOU a “couple of forevers (Chrisette Michele-A Couple of Forevers) Me and you are built like armor nothing can stop love from loving on us…I’m the only one your the only one together to never”. You inspire me to get this horizontal love relationship right. Its my objective, my goal and aim to owe you nothing but love~AntTBri
