Wonder Volume VIII

In a world full of variety and chaos we tend to make choices that lean towards self-advancement. We seethe about the phone bills, the gas prices, the credit cards, and all of the immaterial things that we organize together to call a life. While on the disproportionate side of the world there is an assortment of people from children to adults whom haven’t an opportunity nor an occasion to be saved from themselves or from those who have put them there. Imagine not even knowing the difference between unconditional love and hatred. Imagine not having the security of boundaries and rules. Imagine not having your health in tact by your own accord. Imagine your life being controlled by a drunken marionette. Imagine not ever knowing the love and mercy of Jesus Christ. Imagine. We are blessed by Christ so that we may bless others. We are taught strength and love so that we are strong and able to love others. We are shown mercy and unconditional love so that we may forgive and love those in need. My sister sent me a passage at a significant decision making point in my life: James 1:27; “Anyone who sets himself up as “religious” by talking a good game is self-deceived. This kind of religion is hot air and only hot air. Real religion, the kind that passes muster before God the Father, is this: Reach out to the homeless and loveless in their plight, and guard against corruption from the godless world.” When searching for an open door to walk through you might find a brick wall. When you are ready, and truly ready to hear what God is saying to you it will show up in the form of deafening comprehension. There are more important things in the world today than the coupons in the Sunday paper. The fight for humanity has shifted from spreading the word to being the word. We have to show those who are in need the mercy and unwavering strength that has been shown to us through God. He has a plan and a purpose for all. We are to heed his teachings and furnish the results that go unspoken. God will provide for you what you need to accomplish your goals, and ultimately His. I love the phrase if God brings you to it, God will bring you through it. He knows what he is doing and the sooner that you listen and open your heart to his word; the sooner you will reach your purpose. Just imagine.
