Lunatic Love
Have you ever been called names? Yes, we all have, I doubt many have escaped a lifetime without. I have been called many names & I have called people names, I am a sinner, trying everyday to be better, but I’m no Lunatic. I remember a guy who referred to me as “Hey beautiful!” asked if he could buy me a drink - the moment I declined, his attitude changed and he called a "slut". When standing up for myself, I’ve been called a bitch & cunt, several times. Not long ago, I was told someone called me a 'lunatic’. Knowing who said it, I almost laughed out loud - yes, I guess this person would like me perceived as a lunatic - possibly to convince others he might be sane. Phhhbt.
It didn’t hurt me but it kinda hurt that it was repeated by someone I care about. ‘Lunatic - what a lovely word that is, Luna being the moon, it turns out it was believed & still is, the moon makes some (if not all) of us “mad at times” & we are all mad here -according to the Cheshire cat.
I’ve thought about it and just the other day I received a sign, & I do want to share to show you how Jesus works.. do you pay attention to signs? You should - everyday miracles. Lunatic is not often heard, I don’t recall.. it’s an older word. I’ve heard: nuts, crazy, deranged, bonkers and batshit crazy, Bi polar (usually by husbands, divorcing their suddenly 'Bipolar wives) but rarely -‘lunatic’. Jesus wanted me to put it out of my mind and showed me the best way how…
I was watching The Chosen (LOVE IT!!) and during an episode a lead Roman referred to Jesus as a lunatic, I noticed because I had just been thinking about the word. Later, I started a new book called : More Than A Carpenter, one chapter title - Lord, liar or Lunatic? Interesting… twice in once day, a word I’ve seldom heard.
Later the same evening, I watched a movie about C.S.Lewis that was wonderful, in it he approaches the question of ‘a Lunatic’. 3 times in one day. At mass today - as a final confirmation, the pastor mentioned a lunatic that was healed by Jesus! A big smile crossed my face.
Jesus was called a Lunatic - that and more. My friend Steve (who created the dinosaur for Jurassic Park) was told he was a Lunatic' for where he saw the future of the movie industry heading - and all he said then, has now come to fruition. Tesla was called a Lunatic, Sigmund Freud too, to name a few.
So, if you’ve been called names or might be in the future - just remember Jesus.
This IS part of what we are taught in the new testament, Jesus was shunned from his own home town and called a lunatic, accused of blasphemy, spat at, beat & murdered. We all know what happened - He is seated at the right hand of the Father & will come again. Amen.
Lunatic - Ha! Considering the company accused of the same - I’ll choose to see it as a compliment. Thank you Jesus for showing me you were considered a lunatic. Look where comments come from & shrug them off. Humans will always put each other down, if we allow - sadly, it’s how some try to raise themselves up. For all the lunatics’ or those feeling a little crazy these days, understandably in such confusing times, remember — you are loved.
We are all children of God. Through Gods eyes we are lovable & loving. We are created as our Creator intended. Perfect.
Created to create!
