Truly Madly Deeply. That was the name brand of a shirt I bought the other day. I love it! To me that denotes the person who began that line of clothing as someone who was passionate about what they are doing. They were all in, heart and soul.
I think that Truly Madly Deeply is a way to sum up what Jesus said in Matthew – Matthew 22:37 – Jesus replied: ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’
To me, the Truly represents what comes from our minds – the part that loves God because of what we know to be true of Him. Our conscious, deliberate choice to love Him based on the truth of who He is is. To love Him with our intellect. The Madly is our soul – that center part of us, whose love comes from a gutteral, raw place where the core of who we are resides. Our personality. Who we are. From our insides out. The part that falls crazy in love. The Deeply is the heart. Our emotions that share a love through our greatest sorrows and most profound joys and every thing in between. The familial, warm love that supersedes circumstances. The heart is the place where we know Him not based on fact (our mind) but where we know Him based on experiential connection.
I want to have an incurable case of TMD, whose symptoms I will never recover from….
