Overlooking, ignoring or simply avoiding the use of power to accommodate the well oiled pathway to personal preference is our greatest shame. We sit and cast aspersion upon all others who prevail through trickery, cleverness and bold, unclean living and then eschew the greatest available blessings in man’s history, simply because we are complacent, complicit and afraid of our own shadow. Go along to get along is the motto of men who have sold their birthright for a bowl of stew.

We wonder why miracles avoid us and the plagues always seem to find a home in our families. We run from opportunities to share real investment of love, thinking it weakness, when the truth of power is the loving dissemination of benefits without return on investment. Not that there is none but we fail to recognize or sans the ability to see the spiritual benefits fail to register that these are the greatest works. And we count the coin before doing anything of adventure with worldly perspective.

These are the days of eternal life, yet we unwittingly live in temporary authority misunderstanding what it truly means to have been born again of heavenly seed. New creatures born again to do the works of angels and men remade. We go out into the world ashamed at our poverty when our Father owns everything and makes it available to those who simply put aside their selves and serve His objectives. Eternal objectives, set aside for men who know they face life everlasting. Doing things beyond ourselves.

I no longer seek performance outcomes that I may perfectly display the ribbons, degrees or medals that will leave an established in the pond from whence I came. Miracles were made for me to bring into this world that all will not see nor perhaps even remember me but God they will see and never forget. That is the great reward of redemption. Born again to live for my Father, that I am free from the laundry list of mistakes I will certainly find in marking time until the real round and bell sound. Born of impoverished thinking and misperception. As this is the life already to those who waited.
