I want to be stingy with my time, stingy with my talents, tight with my funds and unwilling to help those in obvious need.  I hide in the shadows when there is no personal reward.  Then comes a grand ballroom display, unmistakeable in its imagery, meant to conjure illusions of philanthropic foundations.  False, fake, fantastic and unreal.  That is the nature of deception it carries the allure, a seed of truth bating the trap, concealed to all but the discerning eye.  Remember the Lord gave evil the power to perform miracles so that we may be tested, so beware!!!  What an amazing world that the Lord has created, perfect in every way to entice us toward any direction except the one leading to the Lord’s intention.  This is a battle, it is unique, clever, relentless but I thank the Lord that its time is running lean.  Hang on for a bit more my Brothers, keep your eyes trained on the coming Lord for a while longer Sister for even now the world’s luster fades.  The dim is near and at its end Glory.

Everything that I crave, somehow contains in it the faintest flaw, the minutest corruption and repeatedly leaves me unfulfilled in it pursuits as I eventually see that contortion.  I have chased the most noble ideas only to find that they fed my own glory, pocket or passion.  There is nothing new, no grand idea that will somehow free men from this perpetual folly.  No matter how diligently I struggle to invent something pure from my own heart it eludes me.  Nothing lasts indefinitely except that which is constructed of elements divine.  Not by bonding agents in a novel fashion, but rather reverting to the timeless ageless cornerstones built upon a foundation preceding time itself.  Yes I have in me eternal componentry that may only be revealed and utilized by stripping away those factors constrained by birth and first death.  Splay me asunder Lord, peel away the obfuscations and camouflage, reveal You in me.

No more wandering, no more ill advised journeys seeking meaning and episodal harmony.  Lead and I will follow.  Reveal and I will splendor.  Create and I will steward.  Let me do what is right and true in Your Eyes.  My love for You grows each moment I grow nearer to Your Throne.  Praise You Lord because it is what You deserve.  Christ is King, Amen.
