Lord let the pain enable me to speak encouragement to those yet to experience it or searching for a way to shore from the depths.  Give my heart fresh speech, understanding and level of love that surpasses my brains desire to look away disinterested in the hazards of another man’s trial.  There are things that may be done in each situation to assist, repair, unite or breed peace.  Internal focus or the spirit of disregard and flippant participation must be brought to heal for the sake of efficacy in fellowship.  Doing nothing must only be the product of the discernment and the Spirit’s voice directing us to remain at ready, preparing ourselves for the appropriate timing to assist.

This is not the end, in fact even the end is not the end, but merely launching pad to the next beginning.  How then may I reflect upon my participation in regard to having been or being too late for intervention, rather as what are the remaining options viable to provide relief, assistance or comfort.  Just because I didn’t close the sale or make the touchdown in the best available timing does not make life consistent with the timed events of sports and romance.  There are always chances to go and get it right this time.

Accountability is returning to America and to the Body of Christ.  Though my past is not my future it is reservoir from which to fish the bounty of past performance, those lines cut or bait lost. What then is my role in self-reflection and recommittal to the things left untended?  Am I responsible to make things right where possible and to pray in to health those things beyond correction?  Of Course.  How may I do otherwise and claim to have obeyed the Spirit of Good Conscience?  This is a welcome age that comes with reflection and revision to habits, understanding and action.  If you knew that you were in the fourth quarter of the state championships in the last year of your school attendance, with the love of your life the Prom Queen and your entire Family watching, how would you perform differently than alone?  Please take the field for that whistle has just been sound.  In Jesus’ Name
