Discounting the elements of change that I have to offer this transformative world. This is not my show, however I as everyone else am a contributing member of this creation God has given. Do not be fooled by those who would have us silent. Hearing each opinion, each of us grappling with the wrestling match of the world’s shaping, is frankly the purpose of those who would share love. Each heart, every mind, even those we find repugnant matter to the Maker. Therefore, to love as He has loved us requires, demands the capacity to subjugate our own bias/prejudice in order to offer love and grace to all.

Most would have me war against those I find distasteful, pronouncing them beyond God’s offering of Hope and rebirth. That however denies the Promises of a God and His Word which state that He is no respecter of persons, finding all the same in the Love of a Fair, forgiving Father. Denying myself forces me to let go of my own muses, misgivings, grudges and color commentary on people groups to see all through the same eyes of God’s Will for Humanity. This is freedom through service to a God and His commandments, direction and imagination which is forever greater than my own.

This realization and the incumbent influences upon my heart demand that I also maintain and improve my capacity to see that each has perspective. That individual framing and parameters of “Reality” mold, guide and unfortunately limit the liberty to see things in a new or different focus. Often searching hearts, listening to testimony offers the only avenue to understanding a particular focus so that it may deliver insight and subsequent opportunity for counsel or assistance. I cannot go into a conversation with predetermined actions or expectations for in so doing I am limiting my own capacity to see each unique situation and hear from God the answers to those often rare, unexpected influences.

This is the Power of God in the Body of Christ; That we are made safe in His imputed Righteous, Hope, Peace, salvation, Truth and Word. Being courageous often depends fully upon the ability or perceived capacity to weather the storm or stand the onslaught of enemy artillery. In Christ we find more than this. We not only may stand in Good Courage, knowing ourselves impervious to enemy approach, we find within us His Holy Spirit that Created all things, knows all things and controls/has defeated any of the enemies against whom we are expected or volunteer to stand. There is NOTHING outside of God’s Scope of understanding, authority, precognition and Dominion. Mankind losing the imputed authority given to Adam and lost by him and Eve, was not a disaster for God but the exact opportunity through which to inject His Son for our salvation.

Without Friction there is no polished result. Without calamity there is no cry to God for assistance, deliverance and salvation. Without Conflict there is no discussion to resolve the internal differences or resolve potential difficulties. Without Hope there is no increase of Faith and without Faith there is no Trust or Love for God. Without Death there can be no reward of Eternal Life. Having had its power removed governing the lives of men who accept Grace, we find its overcoming. It is natural in these understandings to rest upon the differences of perspective as the progenitors or influences of Choice. Knowing that each person will invariably choose based upon their belief, we must leave space, range and patience of time/reflection for them to embrace upon the consequence of that choice. May God receive all Glory, Honor, Worship and Fealty for each decision made or counsel offered. In Jesus Name, the basis of My Hope.
