Mysteries

 

What is the mystery of Christ? What is the mystery in the gathering of believers? What is the mystery of being spiritual? Why is it important to bring these mysteries together as one? Look at Christ. He knew himself. He knew Abba, Yahweh Sabaoth. He knew He was one with His father and His Father with Him. His Spirit was one with His Father and the Holy Spirit was with Him. Christ merged his spirit with His father through the Holy Spirit and became one. Christ repeatedly went off to be alone in prayer. He communed with Yahweh spiritually. He then gathered His followers around Him and blessed them with what would become their spiritual training, a guide for their spirits to follow. How many of you attend church because it is the thing to do? What do you take away from the congregation and the teaching of the celebrant? Do you go back to the same old same old? Why??? Is there a discussion of the word afterwards? Do you only go because it is considered required? Why do you only attend during the Christmas and Easter services? Do you think this will make you holy or give you some religious exempt status or to make you appear  religious? The mysteries of believing, becoming and living are only mysteries for those who seek happiness in the things that are not permanent. They are of this world and will not satisfy for very long. Pleasures, ownerships, wealth to name a few of the things that are thought to bring happiness only satisfy for a time and then grow old and are forgotten. Happiness without a spiritual awakening is temporary and not fulfilling. The Brainy Quote above alludes to that spirit of awareness, of oneness, not of just the world around us but of the one who created it. It is closer than you think and being one with the spirit of God holds the key to permanent happiness and joy.

Today is another House Mouse image. I called this one "Too much Fitz Fizz". Obviously the little guy lying at the base of the lime bottle is quite full and experiencing some fizz results. Makes me uncomfortable thinking about it. Fun image to color.   


The Copic colors used are:


As with the last post I will let you figure out what colors went where since there were so many of them. 

Until the next post, may The Lord Bless and keep you safe. Remember to always "Love The Details."

  2. Wonderful words Jim - yes, this world is temporal, and only a relationship with God, and communication with Him will bring true peace and joy.
    Love your colouring - that is a fun image and you have coloured it fabulously.

  4. This is a great, thought provoking post Jim and I hope it reaches many people! First and foremost, one needs to believe in the Lord God, then live as he would want us to live. Church is important, but it is important for the right reasons, not the wrong ones. Although, I don't believe one HAS to go to church to be a child of the Lord God. And thus why this post is just a thought provoking one. You have asked some great questions! Ones that involved thought and discussions. Love this post! I also love the way you have colored this super cute House Mouse image. It is colorful and cheerful and just plain adorable! Hugs and Blessings, Brenda
