The
Word
Since God has
spoken, man is responsible to act. Responding to Him makes us complete.
A
Blend
I
asked for the gift of wisdom
Expecting
to see the world in a new way. In
unexpected answer, my eyes were opened to
see the truth unfolding within my own being. Two
worlds lay in open defiance of one another, giving
no quarter, showing no mercy. My
heart grew faint and my soul shuddered to witness
the struggle between eternal and mortal.
My
eyes filled with the sorrow of a lifetime; my
body knew the pain of hopelessness. The
loneliness of what was revealed grew for
I did not want to face what was there. The
pain of the truth was great and heavy when
I found what must be faced within me. Little
did I know that I must begin within before
I could see what lay round about me.
Tears
must be shed, humility learned, suffering
accepted and forgiveness given. Confession
had to be made before God that
I may find and know His forgiveness. To
be given a vision of both worlds is
to realize they intertwine and blend. A
measure of pain within this mortal life to
a measure of joy for the eternal life. A
balance of both worlds in this life brings
living wealth to the eternal now.
Eyes,
ears and mind are fully attuned, precisely
aligned to all that life is. A
receptive heart and soul to truth purifies
all knowledge into true wisdom.
Wealth
I am wealthy beyond
measure. Can you give a
cup of love as payment for a
service given? By what
scale would you measure long
steadfast friendship?
What measure of length is
there to gauge the depth
of compassion? Where is the container by which you
would measure the volume of my
peace? Is there a
place where you can pay to
keep happiness from
fading away?
How then should I tell you of
wealth but
to say it is the fullness of
life! Wealth is not
material but the flavor of
sweet and sour of daily
experience. Moment by moment, hour by hour, day by
day, life savored moment by
moment. Years
overflowing with pain and joy
in a mixture of
peace, toil and happiness with
not one second
passing unnoticed. Life is a measure of wealth
only when you do not think it
owes you but that
you owe life for its
generosity.
So walk in the summer sun
slowly and play
briskly on cold winter
days. Drink in the
panorama of scenery or focus
on the single lily in
the field. Take a deep breath of cool air or touch
a friend in loving
attentiveness. Close your eyes
and listen to music quietly
soothing tensions
away. Let every sense come alive to the life that
glows so brightly all about
you filling your
treasuries to the fullest and
making you wealthy
beyond measure.
Hand in Hand
He said, " Come to me
my little one," and I cried.
He said, " Be not
afraid for I am here," and I cried.
I said, " Yes my Lord!
I am yours," and He smiled.
I said, " Take my hand
that I may follow," and He smiled.
He said, " Take my hand
that I may give you peace and joy," and I cried.
