Words

There is, dear reader power in the word . However, this is combined with a personage, who gives this selfsame word. This is true of encouragement or criticism. For the closer a person is to our lives, the more effect, they will have on us with the words they give to us. Like some weird amplifier two people saying the same thing, standing right next to us can see the effect of their words penetrate very little, or deep down to our very core. The difference being the amplifier of connectivity. Words of encouragement coming from a loved one can last a lifetime, sadly, so can words of abuse. How many boys have grown into men, still seeking approval from a father, who will never give it. How many girls have sought to emulate their mother, only to find as a fully grown woman that they are still lacking in their mother's eyes.
Yet the encouragement of those nearby seems to have such little effect, because the deep relationship does not exist.
This dear reader can become a problem, when we deal with the Creator of all things. For the truth of the Creator's word should be amplified deep within our soul, but often it does not for our connectivity with the Creator is stunted or so distant that the Creator's words are heard rarely, if at all.
Why is it dear reader, that we surround ourselves with people who'd loudly proclaim our lack of worth while the one being, who wishes to say how much we mean to him, we shut out or push away.
My challenge today, dear reader, is to ask, are you willing to listen to the Creator's words?

Efficient

Dear Reader in today's economy we have intense pressure to be efficient. Many times this pressure to be efficient takes priority over being effective. Our world can look at things and say, "how do we make this happen faster." Yet somehow "Jesus the Carpenter" was completely effective in his calling in the time and circumstances he found himself. This may not seem all that amazing at first, but upon reflection, it might have more benefit. Jesus could have come to earth at any time, if he had arrived now, instead of taking days or weeks to walk around Israel he could have driven. Instead of talking to one's and two, and managing "a large crowd of 5000", he could have used the internet to reach millions. Instead of relying upon "eye witnesses", he could have posted his Resurrection on Instagram for all to see. But Jesus didn't For some reason the time He came and the way He came was perfect. Efficient, maybe not, but effect

Same

One post I watched, had a line "In reality, there is a lot more that makes us similar than makes us different" It's good to remember. In fact, the thing which makes us all similar is being made in the image of God. During a war, authorities are at pains to paint the enemy as something different, even to labelling the enemy with names to differentiate the people we are fighting against. If we can de-humanise the enemy we will be more effective fighters. Jesus points us in the opposite direction. He reminds us that we all are similar, and all need a way to salvation. For those who accepted this salvation, it is the first step of many, which imparts a direction to life previously not thought of! We are to see one another not in pessimism and fear but rather hope and love. For the Christ Child saw that his life was to be given to all nations and all peoples of all times. We are the same in the need to be saved, we are the same in that this salvation is universal i

Connectivity

We are Dear Reader, far more connected than we realise, our lives, like some giant game of ' jenga ', seem to have such affect on things we thought immune, as our human reason perceives it. This lack of knowledge is further intensified, when sinful nature is added to the equation. For in this situation we deny even obvious connections, or possibly choose to believe the lies sallied forth by the world. Follow my example below: Divorce is seems, according to worldly sources, does not affect children, they are built to withstand it, therefore go right ahead.- If you have accepted this falsehood, then you walk on shaky ground. Dear Reader, look to the many broken souls which wander dream like, through life, unable to function in maturity because of broken marriages when they were a child. Now Dear Reader, please keep with my trail, i acknowledge divorce can and will happen, and many who have gone through it feel all sort of emotion, deep emotions, which may need release on a frie
