That revolution called love . . .

Normally I think of graffiti as an eyesore . . . don't you? Of course it's a regular part of the urban landscape here in Budapest, but on the whole, I find it has little redeeming value.

But the following is an exception, I think. The graffiti captured in the photo below is quite profound . . .

In our fallenness we humans are constantly seeking the revolution of love. I'm guessing that in every struggle of my life . . . especially areas of sin and selfish ambition . . . I'm missing the revolution. If I could develop any skill in my life (in addition to improving my lame golf swing), it would be to learn to let God love me the way he wants. More fully experiencing the love of Christ is the revolution I need . . .

Ephesians 3
Paul's Prayer for Spiritual Empowering

17And I pray that Christ will be more and more at home in your hearts as you trust in him. May your roots go down deep into the soil of God's marvelous love. 18And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love really is. 19May you experience the love of Christ, though it is so great you will never fully understand it. Then you will be filled with the fullness of life and power that comes from God. 20Now glory be to God! By his mighty power at work within us, he is able to accomplish infinitely more than we would ever dare to ask or hope. 21May he be given glory in the church and in Christ Jesus forever and ever through endless ages. Amen.
