Big Didn’t Know What Big Didn’t Know
Big’s Pain was so intense that she entered and stayed in the Forbidden Territory with the curiosity of a toddler. Big knew there would be a lot of filtering and sorting to do and pressed forward with “Christ in me the Hope of Glory” ringing in her spiritual ears.
Meanwhile, Little had “Danger, Danger Will Robinson” ringing in her spiritual ears and was busy hanging onto her Legalistic Viewfinder with all her might. After all, it was her job to protect Big. Right??
Warily, Big began her inspection of the Forbidden Territory while Little peered through her Legalistic Viewfinder and questioned EVERYTHING. Big began to relax as she began to spy through a glass darkly, truthful concepts hidden behind labels that were different than those she was accustomed to.
Big didn’t know it, but her lens had become a Magnifier. The first step in her filtering process was the Magnification of the seeds of Truth hiding behind the gunk and grime of abuse and misunderstanding. The process of digging in, cleaning off the gems of Truth with the Magnifier—unexpectedly began with cleaning Big’s Mirror, that was covered with the grime and gunk from Lies, Judgment, Culture, Expectations, Misunderstanding, False Identity, and Pride among other things that were together distorting the Truth of the Word.
A picture is worth a thousand words! Magnification began gently with a story about two love boats energetically drawn together. One of the love boats is called Logical while the other is called Emotional. They cruise along together just fine until they end up on an unexpected collision course.
What’s hiding-in-plain-sight?
Each love boat had a personal Viewfinder, sporting their individually chosen Perfect Color Legalistic Filter, that creates a delusion of being Right and suffering needlessly because of Another’s Viewfinder being Wrong! .
Logic and Emotion believe they are running their own boats, what they do not know is that each Love Boat is carrying stowaway rat 🐀 passengers below decks. The rats below deck are guiding the boats into a collision course of division and separation.
This fits perfectly into the Strategy of the Chief Rat Bully-Hiding-in-plain-sight wielding rat tools—chaos, confusion, and communication challenges—to name just a few, usually reign prodding emotions to escalate or simply simmer. This is the place that most all of us want to know what is next. What is needed to get out of emotional pain in a way that we also gain peace? The Bible tells us that following Jesus is the Way. Yet there are Jesus Followers who have done all that is recommended—read the Bible, go to church, be kind to others—who are still trying to fix themselves.
After 40 years of searching through all the things, the simple Biblical way has been revealed to me. No more back story, no more hunting for the right fix.
