She is presently twenty years old. As parents our first concern is the welfare of our dear daughter, as she moves through the various involvements of her life. But as with all the details of our personal experiences there is a larger picture. Experience is the filter through which we see and interpret life. Because of my long journey with the Christian church, I found myself viewing it through the lens of January's Child's encounter. The view has been less than positive and the dominate emotion that is evoked has been one of deep sadness. Two thousand years after the prayer of Christ's Passion, that we all would be one, we still find ourselves battling ancient prejudices which make our love, acceptance and welcome far less than unconditional. We stumble over difference, and view uniqueness as either making us superior or inferior to another. From the ridiculous to the sublime, we relegate those people to their place according to our prejudicial stereotype. We mete out love, acceptance and welcome conditioned upon distinction. Buried beneath these differences is the soul. For all who find it- both their own and with those to whom they relate- there is a refreshing discovery that the soul is colour blind. In fact it is blind to all those skin-deep differences that fuel discrimination, destroy peace in human relationships, and divide nations. In such a colour blind soul there is room for all souls regardless of external differences, and love, acceptance and welcome are without condition, demand or expectation. The barriers to relationship with other people, and God himself are simply nonexistent. What Colour is a soul? ******","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52479663964433,"sku":"NLS9781438957715","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781438957715.jpg?v=1759849037"},{"product_id":"wrappers-and-revelation-book-h-dale-lloyd-9781438936789","title":"Wrappers and Revelation","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52489361654033,"sku":"NLS9781438936789","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53362549031185,"sku":"NIN9781438936789","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781438936789.jpg?v=1759878568"},{"product_id":"wrappers-and-revelation-book-h-dale-lloyd-9781438936772","title":"Wrappers and Revelation","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52489400123665,"sku":"NLS9781438936772","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781438936772.jpg?v=1759878624"},{"product_id":"tale-of-two-fields-book-h-dale-lloyd-9781438949406","title":"A Tale of Two Fields","description":"The first act of false religion - religion defined as the effort of the soul to make oneself presentable and acceptable to God outside of relational accountability to and submissive dependence upon God - was performed by our first parents in a garden sewing room - the stitching together of fig leaves in an effort to cover the shame of personal nakedness. But the real genius in this first act of religion was not the ability to create coverings; the far greater wonder was in the uniformity of the coverings. An apron is an apron, and I suspect there was no distinction, difference, or uniqueness between his and hers. And there the two core characteristics of false religion emerged: self-effort and uniformity. The great post-flood corporate expression of this was the Tower of Babel. God's response was to confuse the best efforts of man's uniformity by introducing into its monotonous sameness distinction, difference, and uniqueness. Driven by its passion for the pseudo-security and comfort of uniformity - which masquerades as unity - the best that the religious soul of man can do is clone carbon copies of the sameness. In contrast to this narrowness is the infinite creativity of the unbounded love of the Sovereign God, who delights in the true unity of spiritual reality that allows for, promotes, and enables infinite distinction, uniqueness, and difference of external expression and performance. Therein lies the ancient conflict between the religious soul caught up with the pinching uniformity of doing and the infinite broadness of Sovereignty, who's unlimited provision negates and renders ridiculous our silly fig-leaf aprons. The flashpoint of this historic engagement - the place where true and false religion collide - is that mysterious world in each of us where S\/spirit and soul meet in the dance.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52534914679057,"sku":"NLS9781438949406","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781438949406.jpg?v=1760669802"},{"product_id":"labelling-the-heart-book-h-dale-lloyd-9781038334848","title":"Labelling the Heart","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53186350285073,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53186350743825,"sku":"NIN9781038334848","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781038334848.jpg?v=1772379171"},{"product_id":"labelling-the-heart-book-h-dale-lloyd-9781038334855","title":"Labelling the Heart","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53186350252305,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53186350711057,"sku":"NIN9781038334855","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}]}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-h-dale-lloyd.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
