Frustrating Epitome 

by

The words of Christ are so beautiful, perfect and pristine, they rise immeasurably above the things of Man.  

How frustrating to see the beauty and not be able to paint the picture with my life.  


Add to that frustration the compelling urge to share His words in the world that talks about everything but what belongs to God.  


Encourage one another to Leap, while no one can do much more than crawl. Encourage one another to fly, while no one can do much more than look up.  


It takes the Spirit of God to do the things of Christ. It takes the Spirit of God to speak of the things of God. As often as we look at his beautiful face, our lips will betray the frightful (yet willful) silence of Man.  


Frustration will abound, that’s inevitable. Which gives me reason to remember and be in awe at the patience of the Living God.  

Beggars, We Are All

“Can you spare a dime.”

Why the man stopped to reply, only God knows.  


“I’ve worked hard for what I have.”


The reply was filled with wisdom.


“So you think begging is easy. The only time you deal with shame is when you leave $500 on the table after the deal. Everybody works hard for what they have.”


The man didn’t reach into his pocket. He made no reply to the bum. He turned and walked away. But the words haunt him to this day.  


Born into life.  

Born into strife.  

The blessing of riches,

Or none at all.  

Do we really have a choice?
