They want me to understand a type, a foreshadow of character meant to stir hope, faith and trust. I am prompted, cajoled and pigeon-holed into thinking that nothing produces everything. When, a seed in the drawer grows no harvest, just as fallow fields will yield commensurate crop. From nothing comes nothing except possibly sorrow.

Done for me I sit at table eating food I did not gather from utensils I never cleaned failing to listen to gripes that I helped create. I stand on principle. Though, these principles have been written by me to rid me of responsibility and account for the sole purpose of maximizing my pleasure while I convey no energy but expectation and criticism.

Each building may receive sufficient maintenance to be shining model for small neighborhood or large gathering. It has always been choice and when my choice to spend my time, treasure and good will upon my own comfort then the body is left insufficiently tended or prepared. Yet, it is most likely that I will point my crooked finger at others.

Unification is not everyone being identical but maturely realizing that putting aside oneself for the purpose of that solidarity produces a system that honors all while tempering laziness, wantonness and disrepair. When God is King and each individual is in relationship with Him to the sanctification to His likeness then the society itself becomes nation after the same goals and progress.

An Arm is not an eye and foot not a kidney but each is precious, necessary and in need of systemic support. An eye cannot function just as brain cannot live abundant life in of itself. These are the things that those who seek to circumvent God’s Plan would have you believe. From the clear example of our creator and His Divine guidance by mirror of those sins against Him and Humans that offend, we found humility and the need for a Savior.

He educated me to the need for His intervention. I could neither save myself or save you, He came because necessity and the Love He has for us required that provision. Without Him we were left with Gehenna the eventual home for all. The Joy and the call to thought and prayerful action is the joyous moment of choice as opportunity. The Hope of something yet seen as promise and encouragement to struggle onward. Now there is a plan.

What makes laziness preferred? What comfort lies in mediocre; health, relationships and achievement focused below the plateaus of observation? Are we seeking tepid agreement? Do we never wish to see potential realized? What serves us to convince ourselves that lies are preferential? It is in service to a king who would have us narrow mindlessly limited to worldly worship as this is the extent of his domain. Do we enjoy boxes for living?

Perhaps blame is our answer. Designing a conversation or paradigm that excludes my own responsibility as possible saves me from the humbling moment of feared accountability. My women is always the reason for my failure to connect, communicate or achieve the 99%. My lack of money the reason why I never take up ministry for the King of Kings. My lack of wealth, health, provision or strength the excuse for stewardship untended.

Why then may a poor, weak, old, humbly intelligent man with no apparent gifts or meager assets achieve such grand and lasting relationship with God, family and neighbor? Capitulation to camouflage lack of supplication to the Lord for His outcomes is no longer excuse as we near His return. We can no longer extend the booklet of explanations why we cannot get done even the small things that require no fancy preparation or funding.

We are now at the Point all have supposedly prepared for; “A Time Such As This”. We all recognize it upon us, some still avert their faces that we may not see the truth reflected in their gaze. Here is the truth. We will all achieve those miraculous things for which we were designed by God, if and only if we muster the faithfulness to do them. Nothing produces nothing. Do we seek to do all things through Christ or embrace legacy of serving self forever?
