Spiritual Slavery To Spiritual Sonship - Plot & Excerpts
Remember that an orphan heart cannot be cast out; it must be displaced. It is a heart that does not feel like it has a home in a father or mother’s embrace. Therefore, it is insecure with love and struggles with fears of trusting, rejection, and intimacy. Although we were created by perfect Love so that we could receive His love and give it away, we became insecure with this unconditional love as a child. Insecurities and fears then filled the uncomforted areas of our heart. First John 4:18-19 infers that you cannot cast out these fears but you displace them by introducing the orphan to Perfect Love. Then the orphan must make a choice; he either risks opening up his heart and submits to love, or he continues to put up walls of self-protection and rejects love once more. “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love. We love, because He first loved us” (1 John 4:18-19 NAS). How do we begin movement from living life as if we don’t have a home to living life as if we do?
