You never know who is watching and being inspired by how you see life and live it. Paul was the prime example of a life that matters and living it to the end and to the fullest.
More from the book that never was.
*****************************************************
I often see others become
envious or even
depressed when someone close to
them experiences a
powerful "revelation"
or "touch" from God. It isn't
the earth shattering religious
experience that
keeps us or makes us whole but
the realization
that every moment we live is an
incomprehensible
touch from God. Life continues
but sudden
experiences fade and become
diluted with time.
Life, on the other hand, renews
itself constantly
and is a constant, living,
flowing revelation.
*****************************************************
I seek in death what my body
can answer and
understand now the answer to what
I seek. That
answer is a question that is
short and definite.
My life will be spent when I
finish hearing it.
My death is my birth and my conception
was but a thought of my coming to be. I
left a
womb to enter a womb in
preparation for death to
prepare for life. I seek what
cannot be found
until I am still and when I am
still I find all
the answers I seek.
*****************************************************
I am not a Saint nor am I worthy. I
cannot be nor
become anything but me. The weight of being me is
all
the same cross to bear as He who bore it first. The
only difference is I am sinner, He was not.
The weight
of the cross bears down heavily on
all who would seek
Him. He bore my sins at His cross so
the one I carry
would not be beyond my strength. It
is not
removed but shared with my Jesus who
loves me.
*****************************************************
The
Promise
During a storm of rolling thunder,
whose power was
released
with blinding flashes, a rain fell steadily as if to
cleanse
the earth and prepare her for the coming
twilight. Even as the light failed there came a
stillness of
the air
and the rain changed to a sparse sprinkle.
An
electric
quiet filled the air as all of heaven
and earth
transformed,
glowed with golden light. Houses, trees,
air
and sky
shown with golden hues. A great orb of
translucent
pink-orange
settled on the rim of the earth's shoulder.
Peace
abounded and God walked the earth. His
presence
was
heralded in the golden light of the promised
as it
shown all about. As He passed by, He
touched the sky
with
His finger and renewed all His promises with the arch
of a
perfect rainbow that reached from earth to heaven to
earth. Then he breathed a sigh of love and a second
rainbow
appeared above the first to gently seal it away
forever
within the hearts of all who beheld it.

ReplyDeleteYes, we must live with the intent to honour Christ in all we say and do... and the mountain tops are exhilarating, but barren - growth 'happens' in the verdant valleys.
ReplyDeleteGreat thoughts and so beautifully expressed in your 'book that never was'.
Stunning colouring once more - love it!
I am moved, and settled, and the internet is now back on...
Blessings
