Praise, my only gift as that of service is due the King of all. When I speak let it be the seasoned words of gratefulness offered in reflection and acknowledgement of that tremendous promise I am given. Oh Lord that you are known to all men equally that they may comprehend the riches of heaven and the enormous blessing that awaits us in recognition. You are my dream, my hope and sitting here quietly in your presence is more than enough given.

What is bred, not by imagination but by established thanks for having been taken from bedlam, tragedy and certain/lasting separation from all that good? Is there enough of me to give to cover this debt I owed for the one that was already paid. Another which I had neither earnest nor principal to cover? Is this longing within my heart to do right by Him who saved me the only thing which matters in this lifetime, or should any other objectives rise to equal focus? I have no wife, no family, no children and few friends. When all of the responsibility of this life is rendered moot how then may I continue to proffer excuse as to justified reservation of some fuel or measure unexpended in the tank?

See, on this battlefield my greatest hope is to show up. For in so doing I am acknowledging the Truth of Christ. For this is not a battle in which man may participate out of his own fleshly pursuits. This is a battle ventured in recognition of salvation and redemption to God. These enemies were never within my capacity to vanquish, judge or dispel. All that is done on this field has been accomplished by those who would see me enter eternity to be spent in their Presence. This battle is won and knowing that in every fiber of my soul, that belief may only be proven by showing up armored in God’s characteristics, readied to stand perfectly defended against all enemy assault. That I may instructively pull the Sword of God’s Spirit in fearless utterance of His Holy Word.

How does man continue to fear that which has been dispatched? How does one fear anything when filled with the greatest Power know to all Creation? What venture or pursuit even love offers greater importance than this everlasting promise and purpose? For this is the greatest demonstration that love has or will ever offer to man or spirit, the gift of God’s life to save US all. He does not say that I owe per say but mentions the man who was in tremendous debt having been freed of that burden is conscious of that tremendous Good Fortune. Being that man, I am presently and eternally grateful for that redemption, deliverance and consider it not debt but fealty to my benefactor, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, without Who I would not be sharing these words right now.
