Freedom leads to Love
Love leads to peace
and that peace is what everyone is striving towards.
Peace,
Enlightenment,
There are many different vocabularies with which we use to describe it.
Some use English
Some use Buddhism
Some use a paint brush
Some use the strings of a violin
Some use clay
Some use hugs
We get tangled up in the semantics of it, the vocabulary of it
Jesus
Yeshua
Joshua
Josh
God
Allah
Mother Nature
Whatever vocabulary we use we are all talking about the same thing.
Shalom
Enlightenment
Balance
Peace
It all flows from a oneness with our Creator a reunion with the very thing that gave us this desire.
God is a big God. Bigger than anything we can fathom. God will not be boxed in by a book or an idea, a hope or a perception. God is higher than any hope and bigger than any book.
When a Buddhist says to reach enlightenment one must let go of material things is the Buddhist not preaching the same truth found in Jesus' teachings? Truth is truth no matter it's origin. God is the Truth and when someone stumbles upon a Truth someone stumbles upon their Creator.
Tapping into the Kingdom of God can happen countless ways. God will not be held back. Love will not be held back.
But without freedom none of it could be possible.
If God is love then in order for God to be experienced, to be touched, to be felt, freedom is vital.
Freedom is the avenue in which God has allowed us to seek His face.
With that freedom comes a certain unlimited amount of individuality. Within that unlimited individuality within all who were knit together there is the opportunity to love. Limitless ways to express this love that cannot be boxed in, cannot be outdone.
Because love is limitless and because God is love, we have the freedom to experience and bump into God countless ways.

Love is not limited to the 'Christian' Love is not restrained by the literate. Love is not bound by a vocabulary.
Love, God, only requires freedom. A freedom God goes to great lengths to maintain. A choice. We always have a choice.
In that freedom love can be both experienced and expressed in unique ways, which is to say, the only way love can be truly expressed and experienced, uniquely, individually, from the heart.
Freedom leads to love
love leads to shalom
shalom is being in God's presence. Being one with the Creator. Connecting how we were meant to connect. Living life. It may last a moment. It may last a season. But in that time, that ever changing time, we tap into shalom and it is beautiful. God wants more and more freedom for us so that we may experience more and more time with him in this life. More freedom means more shalom.
I use to only see God an hour on Sundays.
Now I see God in everything.
Blind as I'd become, I used to wonder where you are
These days I can't find where you're not
