When peace abounds, the trials are taken in bounding stride and the troubles fizzle in the pool of internal, quiet waters. Melting away, the salve of merchants traveled bearing gifts. What stance upon fiery mountain, barefoot and patient will establish a mooring outside times concern? In release of shadowed burden, sitting in romantic stare upon the open flames, all weight and worry filter into sand and dirt.

Simply knowing the extent of their punishment brings pity and a wish. A wish, that I had taken time available to lead them down paths of righteousness. Or sung praises to acquaint them with the loving king of forgiveness, love and hope. Now all I may offer are intercessory prayers for the day when they meet agent and then God Himself before the White Throne waiting. I lost power in failure to act on love.

Where are the enemies chasing? For now I fear nothing but God. Where are the shadows lurking? For all that I can see is the bright light of yonder path winding. To the mountain I am called through the valley of discontent, practice and preparation. Quietly in solemn prayer for the dying and the forgotten. Leaving a trail for those who may come after that they may see others passed this way and bid them follow.

In the twinkling moments of blinking eyes and dimensions blended, I can already imagine the voice and trumpets call. I wish that it were everyone, but many will by choice determine themselves excluded. For we are the family of men, divided by the line of Christ, drawn across time that none may be excepted. All must choose, all must name the name or in pride and ignorance suffer separation everlasting.

May this be the moment, the day, week and year of hearts turned back to Father and Family. May this be the time and season of reflection upon our lives before the King. May this be the signal and call to forever. May you be found with me, free from want, fear and doubt. May your faith be overflowing in these moments of pregnant opportunity. May you love the Glorious Appearing and be blessed this side of heaven.
