How will I know?
If He really loves me?
How will I know?
If she really loves me?
Would you, really know it when you see it?
It can be dicey.
It can be all about attitude.
It can be near to impossible to “tell.”
It can be running under a rock time.
Defined, by the old fashioned dictionary as “subtle, sneering expression of contempt for or disgust with someone—sometimes verbal, sometimes not.”
Sounds dreadful, either way you slice it, or throw it.
Can’t we all just get along? Live and let live?
Maybe some day.
For now.
Throwing.
Blocking.
Blah. Blah. Blah.
Doubt. And his partner: Deception.
Deception. It can be the ultimate Oscar worthy performance in a now jaded world. Hiding the trophied meanings, and along with the remnants and crumbs for others to “share.”
You could have just asked.🤓
Until then.
Punt?
Serve?
Volley?
Shoot a broken arrow through the heart of another?
Nope.
Why?
Healed people heal people.
Buzzwords are out there. To be dissected.
But. The good news.
Not on His watch🙂.
After all He does not know time.
He is the ultimate Plus One to have on your side.
It takes your time.
It takes my time.
From time to time, can be downright confusing too.
Life, with the ultimate Plus One, that is.🤗
There is a world of difference between doubt and confusion.
He never throws the shade of doubt your way.
Not for His gain anyway.
He knows you like the inside of His beautiful, beautiful hands.
He often asks, you,
“What is your hurry? Where are you going, in such a hurry….running around in circles and all……”
Perhaps once again, you find yourself trying to out run your own mistakes. He knows this too. About you. The insidiousness of the devil called “Doubt” is the kind of contagion that multiplies in a second.
Doubt is fickle.
Deception wavers with the weather.
Doubt blames it on the weather, too.
The caveat: Know your stuff. Not another’s stuff. Your stuff. He knows the difference and the differences like the back of His hand.
After all,
He wrote the book. About faults, failings and all the lost scores along the way.
He. Is patient. He is kind. He waits.
For you. And your doubts to see “eye to eye”, with His.
He. Is patient. He is kind. He waits.
For you. And the day you and He will see one another,
Face to face..😃
Until then.
Punt?
Serve.?
Volley?
All you may wish.
He can spot a fraudster a mile away. A million miles away. A sky-is-the-limit-miles away. The funny thing about His love….
It is unconditional.
Beyond condition.
Infinite.
And. beyond!
How beautiful!
Yep.
Who would not want to have Him as a Plus One!
Answer: A Doubter.🙂
Never wavering means: Never wavering.
Covering.
Uncovering.
Like the good ole hooded sweatshirt.
Hides that which we don’t want to be seen.
Like a good ole girdle.😳. Holds on tight in the most revealing of life’s moments. Out loud. In quiet.
“Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth, and hath given him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labor; this is the gift of God” (Ecclesiastes 5:19)
He is your portion.
He is your portion control.
He knows what it means to rob Peter to pay Paul.
He ain’t kidding anybody.
Humans, however. Do. Try to kid around and sip around the truth.
The truth.
“So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.” (Proverbs 3:10)
Be bold. In your attitude toward Him. He can take it. He can take the slings and arrows.
How do you know?
He has already has. Already sacrificed for you. For me.
How will you know?
When you throw doubt to the other side of infinity. Rely upon Him.
How will you act? When the moment of truth comes your way?
We all have the ability. We all have the desire. To turn doubt into something greater than ourselves.
Take the pickles, and shelve them? Like a fine, expensive wine— Too much is never enough. Doubt is the card played, the way it’s played, when all along it could have changed insidious, non productive ways.
Like. Yesterday.
But today is where we are. And today is where we must live. In the moment. We each have unique and personal abilities.
Ability: Can but won’t. Can and will.
No ability: Can’t and won’t. Can’t but wants to.
No desire: Can’t but won’t. Can’t and won’t
Desire: Can and will. Can’t but wants to.(dk)
New game. New day.
Four square.
Take appreciation out of the equation. We are looking for straightforward results in our new game.
MOT, baby, MOT.
Yours may be today. His may be tomorrow. Hers may be in a week, month, year.
God only knows.
He shares. He shares truth and grace and mercy through asking questions. We respond with the reaction. The card. The text. The hidden truth that we just want what the other guy has. Come hell or high water.
Understanding current reality takes time.
It takes your time.
It takes my time.
It is hard work.
Coming to terms with the way we were raised is the most important thing we can do.
He alone drops the hammer of justice There are many and great occasions to the enemies of the Lord to blaspheme. One of the most devilish is to claim the attributes of a Holy man, but not exercise them in word, deed and action.
“for a mere man to suggest that he was….divine..could only be viewed…..as blasphemy.” John Bright 1889
Heresy, heresy? Doubt breeds doubt? In reference to speech, once the words are uttered, they cannot be taken back. Irrelevant? Not at all. God is holy. We can only hope to earn our keep by following His ways.
It is irreverent to speak amongst a crowd of believers, in His name, and speak a mis- truth. In the order to “get it done.”
Remember. Only He drops the hammer of justice.
Seeking truth is not for the faint hearted. Seeking truth from others requires a tremendous amount of humility and self awareness. (dk)
The rest? The rest is just well, pickles.
One can only compete, avoid, accommodate, compromise and collaborate in order to resolved the inner turmoil of doubt.
In the end.
He does not bend. He does not break.
