The open accessible book is easy to chastise, critique or pull out in use to demonstrate hypocrisy, disbelief or pride. It is known and cannot escape the reasoned analysis any who have read its opened pages. But there is power in transparency, for a man with Jesus written on his heart, on the binding of his autobiography and on his hat is a man who may not be mistaken for anything other than who he really is. Do we crave that transparency in our lives, our work, play and government? For that is the only true method of accountability, that men know who you are what you have done and are doing in and out of the public eye. This book is here for you to read, like it or not you have the authority to choose to like it, ignore or attack.
I don’t want to escape for that attempt is clear indication of lacking contentment in what the Lord has assigned for my life. I am accountable for my actions, steadfast in my belief and ready to love, not just as a reward for deed or an attempt to gain some pleasure, but because I truly do love you. Many mistakes I’ve made and continue to ascribe to the columns of my self inscribed history, but these are not the troubled mistakes of a desperate man who would hide them in shame or reason. These are the mistakes of a man who knows he is forgiven and is called to be holy even as my Maker bids me be like him in holiness. Yes, I will falter, fail, stumble, mumble and whine, but it is what I do next and the truth that you see in my life that is truly important. For if I am ambassador of Christ then my actions on the planet before men are the only things that matter to that role. Therefore look upon me, you will find fault, you will find frailty, yes you will find all these things and more, ignorance, pride, misunderstanding, envy and pride. What you will not find is a man who either wishes to explain these things away or hide them from your vision. I am what I am, and that is sufficient, because God sees all, I might as well stay consistent with that understanding.
It is all worth something. Read the book, love the book, hate the book throw the book, it is all done in choice. My life is open to viewing and I know and understand all that this means. Thank you Lord for allowing me to embrace transparency in its truest form. I love you and praise you with all that I am. In Jesus’ Name.
