Blocks of stone

When I write this blog, I see how much of it is ad lib. In fact it is all ad lib. And I see how much needs to go back and fit the title. I see a book in the future, but then again there may not be a book. I see good ideas that need reworking. And I see God with His chisel and me the block of stone that He is bit by bit sculpting so that I can be the perfection of what He wants. I as the block of stone never ever do what I do as a human, "God it's not so good this way I'm going this way". And while we may have to go through things that don't seem so good at the time, God's purpose is refinement and we would better serve our Lord to be blocks of stone rather than human. God may I always be a block of stone.

GOOD

I am here to tell you that I am not good. You are here to pronounce the same thing to me. Ideally what we do as humans results in prizes or penalties, in other words when we act there is an opposite but equal reaction. That is a law of physics and a natural law. When we do nothing or when we forgive though the Spirit in us goes above that law and covers those that have sinned against us. Do they have to forgive us? Nope. Christ went to His death forgiving those who didn't ask for forgiveness. I had a client that insisted I was incompetent to the point of taking it before the veterinary medical association. I forgave her many times over. And I have to confess I am still waiting to hear her say she is sorry and that I did nothing wrong. It may not happen. And I praise God for not waiting to hear the people of Israel were sorry before He sent Christ, That's what takes Agape love, that's what takes being His. May we all strive to be His.

And now we wait

Human beings by nature get impatient when things don't go according to their time schedule. And things don't. It would be as if the earth forgot it revolved around the sun and just stood their. The earth can't control it's revolution, any more than we can control our time. Only God does that. He is the only one that controls time, the weather, health etc. We are His stewards and our importance is determined by Him albeit He doesn't want robots. We just have to recognize who steers us and who we should consult for which way to go. May He bless us with wisdom and humility.

The Mirror

We all know about THE SHACK. It's been advertised for several weeks now and opened. A great percentage probably also read the book. I have not seen the movie but I read the book a several years ago. The take away message from that book, and hopefully the movie, is that we are all broken no matter what station in life we find ourselves. And we are all fixable, but if we want to be fixed forever we need to look to God and the manifestations of His being, as Father, as Son and as Holy Spirit. And the second take away message is that God as Father, who is all powerful and all knowing and all loving is not a typical father-type. He is the perfect Father. As such when there are fathers, and those come too numerous to count, who may not be exemplary and may be abusive, God can show Himself as being able to change the concept of father for all of us, to meet everyone's needs. We are not perfect, we all went through the fall as Adam did, but in Him is perfection and love
