Christian Friendship Inspirational

Phew.

In some circles,🙂 some cases, simply go round and round.

Circles.

Rings.

Both signs of frustration, rings of fire. Same difference?

No.

Rings of commitment are a different story of right and wrong.


No beginning. No end. Sometimes, to a keen observer with an even keener eye: The eternal nature of things, the trinity per se, “morphs” into even more significant meaning. A rounded trinity triangle, no so “strait laced” with the motivation and intention of letting in instead of letting go.


Blocking out, excluding. In today’s modern times, I believe it to be called “ghosting.”


The obvious arrogance aside (Only He is the Holy Ghost) He lets us in to the teachings of hard life lessons as well as joyful moments of reprieve. Yet. He never desires for us to feel completely comfortable in our own skin. How else will we learn what it is like to walk in another person’s shoes if we do not,


Walk in another person’s shoes.


He keeps on reminding us of His divine intervention.

Thank you.

Do we listen?

Not always.

We are much too busy trying to and proving our point.


He wants unity. We say we do, but we fail in moments of vulnerability and weakness.


Now. Perception is or can be in the eye of the beholder. To some the image of a bloated triangle may be one of an overweight triangle. One trying to push its weight around.

To others, it is a significant signal of inclusion and “love conquers all” even when we are fighting tooth and nail to prove we are right and you are wrong.


Life’s confusion also go round and round. However, if the end goal is the same as the start goal.


Hallelujah.

Can occur.


In marriage. In the bright and beautiful sun. Most of all for and in an eternity of trying to get “it” right when we oftentimes fall all over ourselves and get it “wrong.”


Never-ending existence with a guy who picks us up when we fall.

Priceless.

He alone transcends culture and time. He knows, time and again, what we need. Not only does He ask us over and over to “focus”. He graciously gives us the wide open space to get over our moment and extend a hand of grace. He trusts we will “get there.”


Even if and when we do not want to.


Harmony is “out there” for the taking, yet we drive our own self-destructive wagon with loose wheels into the ground thinking we have all of the answers.


St Augustine described the nature of God as a circle whose center was everywhere, and its circumference nowhere. (Ai)


Yes. Yep. And. Huh?

Life is chock full of possibilities and opportunities. His love never wavers. Through thick and thin. Good and bad. Up and down.


All we are required to do?


Show up. Dust ourselves off. Start again.


The dust will be there, everyday, most days, all days.

Thank God.

We can alleviate the symptoms of the particles, but we cannot explain it away with a concoction or a buck of offer bidded to the highest bidder.


He. Is and always has been our Highest bidder. Of all this is good and honest and true and inclusive. For our betterment so we can serve others with a steadfast heart and a clear mind of why we are doing what we are doing. For ever. For,


Eternity.


So, to the folks on the fence.

“Blank” or get off the pot.

However, please do not think that alignment insures or ensure you to be “one of the gang.” Doesn’t work that way. Nor should it. (GB) What it does mean, is,


Get to work.


Do not covet thy neighbor’s anything. Because if you do, and we are all at times guilty of this offense, it will delay the progression of all that is good and kind and right. For the ones in desperate need of us to get a clue—-get there fast. At the least, please: Get there. Many hands make light work.


Aspire to be one in His inner circle…. Innately, but not without some trial and betrayal. He worked with the few in order to get to the masses. He knew what needed to be done. And. He did it. Does it daily.


He sacrificed more than I could have ever imagined another human sacrificing. How do we repay His strength and kindness?


We covet.

We kill.

We take His name in vain.


He will add you to His list when you earn His trust to do the right thing.


We take no other Gods before me.

We shall not steal.


We are instructed to honor thy Mother and Father.

Even if and when it is down right impossible to do so.


We are instructed NOT to kill.

We are implored to not bear false witness against the neighbor.

We are never to commit adultery.


We shall not covet the neighbor’s house. Its contents or its roof. We need constant reminders, especially when the going gets tough.


All we need to do? Remember His grace and mercy. Remember to pay special attention to the list of daily challenges on the seventh day of His mercy. In order to remember, His mercies are new every day. Who is that gracious and merciful?


He is.


Every day. His mercies are new.

Hallelujah.


In the meantime?

Chin up and charge the mound of your daily burdens and doubts. Run them down in the safety of His circles He bestows upon our weakened spirts of doubt and frail ness. He knows we can rise to any occasion with Him by our side. It is up to us to take on the challenge He knows we can handle.


Alert: This is a process. It is not a slam dunk of “I am in and you are out.” If you of your own free will choose to be a part of the solution and not the problem, it may be a cold day in you know where before you are able to feel as though you are making a difference in the life of another.


The point? Do not covet.

You are here on this earth perfect in your “you-ness.”

STOP. The playing of one human off of another in the interest of getting ahead.

Why?

It does not work.

It may and has been called fraud. It messes up a harmonious world order and many good people just trying to be good people.


The good news?

Here. Round these parts of the world. We still have a choice. Under the guidance and leadership of a strong person.

And. Stewards who take it upon their person to say,

”No.” Not now. Maybe “Not ever.”

Strength feeds strength. Really. It does. Strength may present itself in “weird” ways. Those willing to step up to the plate should not nor never be “overlooked” because they have had the experience of a lifetime rolled into bills and sense—at times non sense—and it behooves all of mankind to pay close attention.


Thank Him.

Phew.
