Manipulation: love with agenda

I think most people run around life attempting to fill their ‘needs’. It is self focused and lead to fruit of ‘success’, but ultimately end up in harm. In the world of the court system here in the USA, any evidence obtained from any type of illegal means is ‘fruit from a forbidden tree’. This evidence cannot be allowed as evidence or allowed to be brought into court itself. So if drugs were seized without the right to have it or the right to be in the place when the evidence was found it is thrown out as if it was never found.

With this thinking, if we start something out of personal need it is going to ultimately end in some type of self righteous fruit. What if Papa freed us from every need and freed us to really love people without agenda. What if we had the ability to always give without expecting or Loving without the thought of receiving love in return. What if we pressed into Jesus with enough abandonment so that we legitimately change and we become motivated by only the Love that we see Jesus use. What would the world look like if every person that professed Jesus as their Savior started to live out of the “freedom from needs” that is available to us as “believers. It may cause a utopia type culture.I understand the thought of an ideal utopia. Greece, during the classical age, was viewed in my understanding as a type of utopian era. A time when thought and expression was not only accepted, but celebrated. It was also a time of free love without boundaries. The best things that came from that time, in my humble opinion, was the art and sculptures of that time. People could be vulnerable, yet not judged. Thinking was focused into self and generated a lot of self improving times. It was a time of sexual perversions that rivals that of areas like Thailand where children are sold into sexual slavery. I believe that is a product of love generated towards self.

If people really followed the God of Love, what would society look like?
