Adored Distractions

How incredibly wealthy man is, in the things of distraction.  And how incredibly impoverished he has become, in the knowledge of the One who is made him.

For decades I was angry at man, because he was so exclusive.  They spoke of tolerance and inclusion, but no matter where I turned, there was no such thing to be found among men.  So I perceived that they lived in a great and impenetrable lie.

But now a love for God has dawned within my soul, and with proof.  He is full of inclusion by His mercy, which is tolerant for my ignorance.  I find he is fully trustworthy.  I find he is unmistakably true.

And now I find a new source of anger.  It causes me boundless frustration, that the great lie of man so willingly disregards what is true.

I was incensed that they would not receive me.  Until I realized they would not even receive the Holy One.

Among men what do I have left to lose?  They have not taken from me, they have rejected me all together. (In this I do not speak of the body of Christ.) And now, why should this be surprising?  For they even reject the One who made them, for the sake of their dear and deep love for distraction.

Bring them a new distraction and they will love you.  Offer them eternal life and they despise you.  Yes they want to live forever.  But I find they are not willing to part with their sins.  Not even willing!

Am I wrong for allowing this to frustrate me?  Am I amiss for despising the ways of man?  Who crucified Jesus?

The RIGHT to Brood

I just had a realization that is fully worthy of contemplation.

Every Christian blogger desires that his or her things be read.  And oh how we take note of our ministry.  And it is right that we should care so deeply about our charge to write.  For there are plenty enough worthless writings of man in the very same place.  But we hold up the Living God’s Holy Son!

I came to understand that it is just as right to brood over this blog, as it is for a Pastor to brood over that which is his.  But then the stupendous struck me.

I have a right from God’s Holy Son to brood over the work He has delivered to me.  But I brood over what has been given.  How much more is it right for Jesus to brood over the work that is HE?  He is the source.  How deeply does He desire that His things be read and understood, ingested into the soul and accomplished?

If I care about the ministry that He had delivered to me.  How much more does He care about His Living Ministry among the people of this place of testing?

The Fullness

The Wisdom of God among men is that they should have faith.  The miracle among men, from God, is that there are many who do have faith.  The Faith from God believes (with a certainty) that Jesus is the Christ of God.  The Faith from God among men believes that Jesus is risen from the dead, for death had nothing with which to hold him.  And The Faith does more than remember that history was made.  The Faith becomes the Love of God, which is the Holy Will of the Father in all creation.

Yet Love does not appear without dressings.  Fear of God, knowledge of the Holy Word he sustains among us, right assessment of the fruit of men, and that specific “doing” that comes only from the power of the Holy Spirit among and within us.  With the appearance of these things within us, we can define the Love of God.  Yet our definition of the Love of God is limited to the wisdom of God to send his knowledge among men.

There is a fullness in heaven, regarding what is revealed of the nature of God.  There is a fullness on earth, regarding what is revealed of the nature of God.  In heaven, the fullness of revelation is embraced without question or reserve.  But on earth, the fullness of revelation of the Love of God is restricted by our willingness to believe to the “doing”.

Who, then, of men, are willing to throw off restriction?  Who, among men, are willing to embrace the fullness of God’s wisdom of revelation to Man?  Who, among men, finds the will to “Become”?
