Banking on the false premise that I am too big to fail.
Nurturing a growing awareness by exciting the heart and informing the mind. Information and experience are taken through wisdom into knowledge in suffering or conflict. The suffering and conflict are the teachers pointing toward wisdom that has the life of knowledge. John 10:10
The wrong question.
Reduced to what matters.
There once was a boy who was a man who stood next to a man who was a boy.
The boy ask the man who he was.
The man began to talk about himself
until the boy interrupted and asked again
who he was. The man became irritated
and continued talking about himself.
The boy again asked who he was.
The man walked away angry that the boy
seemed to ignore everything he said.
Then, standing alone, the boy heard
a gentle voice inside of him saying
“Son, you are mine and thanks for asking”.
A heart problem that masks as a head ache.
No way there is no way.
Come, Follow, Abide, Obey
I hear Him say.
No way there is no way
if you hear His voice today.
At work I say to pray for work.
Work is a way to say what I pray.
So work your way this day I say
to know the way so you can say
no way there is no way.
Fondling a demand with your brain.
A tick without a tock an act without a knock
counter the block
blood on my sock
proverbs in stock
psalms to rock
know to unlock
sail from the dock
join the flock
around the clock
When my heart is too big for my mouth rather than my mouth too big for my heart.
Come. From confusion to Hope.
The unexpected familiar.
Sound is oftentimes noise through words or movement. To be sound when not strong in confidence or direction, sound takes on new meaning. The new meaning brings to mind what is meaningful rather than what the mind is trying to mean. What brings the meaningfulness is quietness and confidence that speaks volumes for itself in all it possible meanings. Meandering then stops as one re-calibtrates in order to progress and rightly process.
Sound off! Sync in.
Leaves expectations frozen in the mind, replacing the imagination, making me cold and harsh. When expectations are frozen, I stop expecting, reflecting, observing, resting, and soliciting. I also refuse to be silent.
Denies others the satisfaction of something they are right about that may also be important to me.
I try to absorb Him in my own effort, rather than allowing myself to be absorbed into Him. In other words, I dumb down Christ and assume myself as His equal.
Stops faith from allowing us to focus our own understanding.
Focuses on others rather than our own actions.
Stops your view to look up in humility and only looks down in superiority.
Focuses on words (strife) rather than realities.
Vainly flatters or blesses one that you are willing to tear to pieces.
Makes promises without performance and acts in ignorance when few words are needed yet are often repeated.
Creates perpetual dreamers that lead to grumbling and complaining.
Boards our grief to ourselves with wretchedness.
I am left exposed, so I must overpower or overact rather than empower.
Leads to talking obsessively about troubles to everyone who will listen which takes away the time needed for prayer (talking of trouble makes it double)
Causes few to act but many to overact--instead of overcoming.
Uses logic through extreme language instead of reason
Is always explaining rather than changing.
