“Make things more whole, wherever you go, as you yourself are becoming complete. Help bring things towards what they really are.” Nice life goal, i came across today in study.

Sort of the Shema prayer in a nutshell: God is One and wants to make us more one. And as St Paul taught, He who started a good work inside of us, IS ABLE to complete it. Nice morning meditation today. Hopeful.

Sort of an argument from true identity–help others, things and places even, become who they really are, as you are becoming who you really are. Help things align with Reality in other words. Nice daily mission!

This is applying the Shema prayer about God’s oneness to us as well. It is saying He is One and based on that fact, desires to make us one integrated expression–in short to align us with what is Real in Him. That’s why the Jews pray this daily. God is into the business of restoration! Restoring things into their true identity. We are those who partner with Him in helping make things whole, or more “in Him”, as He sees them. That is what is Real.

So in some sense, we are helping others become more Real, more what they truly are. That is part of our mission. We do so by being in His Love towards them. Love is the method, for making things more whole.

As we do so, we ourselves are being made complete, one whole expression in Him. That is one of His mysteries about true identity. As we help others shine into theirs in Him, we ourselves are being completed as His exact expressions.
It was said of Jesus that He was the exact expression of The Father. He stayed “in” The Father–that was His secret. We must do the same. We stay in Christ, and He keeps us in The Father, and this is the path to true identity.

It is also part of our commission on earth–to help make things whole (kratos–to help complete)! We are helping people, places and things, align to Him–what is Real. Grounded and founded in His Love, we are being made whole by the One who is already One! Behold, your God is One! We are caught up in this mission of oneness!
