Love is Bloody

My eyes were closed, Love Love Love was in the atmosphere.

You could swim in the thickness of His presence. 

I saw a stream first.

There was something different about this stream though.

Instead of water running over the rocks there was thick red blood.

This stream was a stream of Love that lead into an ocean of Love.

I started in the stream.

The Lion told me to lay down in it and let His blood flow over me.

At first I thought, really Lord? Isn't that kinda weird...

I listened anyway.

I laid down in this stream of blood and the warmth of it ran over my skin.

It painted my entire body crimson red.

I asked the Lord, why blood? Why not normal water?

Then I went on, isn't it kind of obvious Morgan?

Blood, the very liquid that saved your soul.

Blood, the liquid used to make the ultimate statement of LOVE.

Blood, the very liquid that gives you life.

(Blood, not a solid that's difficult to mold or a gas that disappears in a short amount of time, but a liquid. Liquid can be put into different shapes when confined in a container, but it can also run wild and free when not confined.)

He says, my Blood cleanses.
It washes off the dust of the world and unwanted baggage.

After laying in this Bloody Love stream for a while He asked me to take a big drink.

He says, consume my Blood and my Blood will run through your veins just like mine.
While this was happening I had a pretty realistic visual of what it would actually be like to drink blood.
I really am not trying to get into the whole creepy vampire thing or whatever, the Lord is just an out of the box Guy who likes to do out of the box things that offend people's religious mindsets.
If you actually think about drinking blood, it seems like it would naturally gag you and be extremely difficult to get through swallowing it.

Sounds a lot like love, huh?
A little hard to swallow.
It doesn't make sense for someone so perfect and Holy to actually love something other than Himself.

In reality He doesn't have to love us.
Really, He can go on existing without taking the time to love each and every human being.
This fact is daunting and makes us nervous sometimes.

It's hard to swallow such a perfect love when you know for a fact you don't deserve it.
It feels like it should be easy to lose, or it should be easily revoked.
Like at any moment you feel like He should just decide to kick you to the curb and say "if you don't quit messing up, I'm done with you."

Seriously, that makes so much more sense.

But He says that His love is, in fact, unconditional.
There's absolutely nothing you could do to make Him love you any more or less.

His love is so deep He offers you His blood.
He says drink my blood so you can become Me.
Reflect Me and my Father and partake of my inheritance.
Live like Kings and Queens forever.
You don't deserve it, but I do, and I want to share it with you!

I don't want to hold anything back from you.
I'm not gonna pull away from you when you do things wrong or fail Me.
I'm going to walk alongside you and exalt you even in your struggle.
I want to give you the nations as your inheritance.

Love is Bloody.
It's messy.
It's weird.
It's beyond comprehension.
It's the most beautiful thing ever imagined.
It's handed right to you.
It's literally always there, up for grabs at any moment.
Take the step.
Drink the Blood.
Eat His flesh.
