I'm spiritual director JR Mann.
Welcome to your life's work.
Being an enemy is a goldmine,
A voiceless luxury dripping with giving opportunity,
Waiting for you to enjoy.
It may be our last honest outpost as we wake to the real work of humility.
Service with mouths shut.
As a definition I'm not simply talking about physical acts of love and selflessness performed from the shadows.
I am talking about intentionally living undefended as we serve a life and faith ruled by non-identifiability and untraceability without need for audience,
Admiration,
And award.
Coupled with a consciousness that serves community to no end.
And an enemy has a method for its incredible madness and anti-human ego defining status.
And an enemy serves at the very core of love.
It promotes only need and needs served.
It relies on love,
Not name,
Privilege,
Position,
Or power.
It ends problems simply by ending problems.
The only encore it receives comes from people who take up its cross and imitate its energy.
What's in it for you?
Well depending on what side of the enemy fence you're on,
If you're receiving you're being wrapped in divine love.
If you're giving you're acknowledging God living in you being made perfect with every step.
And an enemy breeds love and that's the greatest power in the universe and feels so damn good.
There will be no award ceremony,
No thousand likes,
No celebratory tick-tock cleavage dances.
Just you and God meeting needs,
Changing the world with the power of love.
All while keeping your mouth shut.
Who do you serve?
You
