Faith comes by hearing and then in a moment the whole scene changes. Depth perception.
The hiding of secret tears.
Men and women of pain. They consider why pain is sent and the comfort for it. Whether something sent seems good or bad doesn't distract from loving nor inspire it. Love just is. But love is moved by compassion.
Trying painstakingly to pick up the shattered and jagged-edged pieces while still falling from a broken heart. This unwarranted sacrifice can take one spiritually blind-folded to a dangerous place of self-destruction carried out by one's own hand.
A strengthening encouragement. When in doubt, comfort. When not in doubt, comfort.
Sadness without the pain of sadness.
Pain and simple.
Sharp instead of blunt. Cutting edge rather than edgy. Awareness of what is your treasure rather than searching for what it isn't in someone else's chest due to envy, jealousy, or selfish ambition.
Strength of a warrior and the eagerness of a lover.
The mountains of doubt, fear, and disappointment.
Hit or mist?
Captivated in a moment captured.
Mourning sadness.
Maid to order that breaks into the unordered staus quo of the untrained soul and tips over the sacred cows.
When I review, renew, and act on what I know to be true.
Aiming for perfection. Psalm 27:4
Leading others to lay one brick at a time while simultaneously envisioning the cathedral being built.
Tenderness opens the door of understanding leading to strength in the form of experiential confidence. Most often understanding is sought first without tenderness which only hardens, not strengthens, the understanding we already have. The great attempt, putting God in a box, the mind lustfully flirting with the heart, forcing the heart to take the beautifully masked punches. But our head begins to hurt from the heart’s wounds. The sore hands of the mind from trying to wrap itself around the Infinite, finally pull back, now, too tender. Without tenderness there is no understanding. Job 17:2-4
Faith without revelation is debate. Be the argument and speak into what is asked. Be the instrument that is attuned, not played.
Faith will allow me to get over the difficulties of it whatever it is even if I never get over it whatever it is. I can find it nowhere in the Scriptues where it says "Just get over it".
