At your side

A particular lens required to see the fruit of my own perspective.  Come look upon the world from this view, my view, the only one which matters unless perchance I stop to reflect upon thoughts of another.  But why must I see the world in their way, their fashion and style foreign to my understanding, difficult to dawn in the dark and much less capable of making “the argument”, my argument the only one worth pursuing?  What?  You require that I entertain the ideas of madmen?  Where was this requirement to look upon this menagerie through such indelicate mental foundation as found in the cast of characters called human?  Why wasn’t my input considered.  Clearly there was inadequate preparation taken in its determination, having not for a moment considered, entertained or found it paramount to review my thoughts in the matter.

How must I tolerate that two may look through the same glass and view completely differing events?  Isn’t that time wasted, having to weigh, measure, reflect upon and eventually win over all other mind’s present to superior thinking?  What pride, it is not wrong to lead into the fray when to entertain or follow the counsel of others would find us lost and withering.  I truly counsel you to refrain from contemplation, I will think for us and produce collective understanding through experiential revelation that my way was the best from outset.  It is best to capitulate now rather than struggle with your limited capacity for understanding.  Be at peace in the knowledge that you are well led.

Do you hear him, spoken as if there is no innocence, no temperance, no ill in the disregard for those precious voices around us?  There is no joy in singularity, no joy in existence except that which is found in relationship to the world into which we proclaim ourselves, Alive! We are not kindling for some superior technological monarchy, to be used in stoking the fires of their own self-worship.  You are the craftsmanship of God, something He found worthy of His Own Sacrifice to pay the price that none could afford but Him.  How may I simultaneously consider my own life superior, my own thinking somehow advanced, the only worthy thoughts of this or any conversation and in the same instant honor your precious value to Almighty God?  I cannot.

So, You Think, Please for I long to hear the words of your unique perspective.  You Paint for the pictures in your mind may never have fallen from my own dreams.  You Write in the words that God provides from a Spirit born within You.  You lead or follow for the gift of life is choice.  The choice to respect God, one another and encourage growth life and individual purpose.  Not purpose guided my my or any collective societal design or governmental mechanism, but that purpose programmed within by a Holy God.  There is nothing I may do to diminish something crafted within the hands of God because in its crafting it is a thing beyond my critique.  I respect your making and ask of you to show me God’s reflection in your thoughts, dreams and plans.  You are the greatest gift given to me in this life.  And I look to venture in to the next eagerly at your side.  In Jesus’ Name.
