The Spirit’s Gentle Whispers – Part 3


This, below, is the third part of a monthly series; a collection of ideas received from God and faithfully taken down.
***
As the sun fades many a perishable material, so the process of life fades us. Find time for refurbishment. Allow time and the in-flow for the spirit to replenish itself.
***
Wonder now,
Wonder then,
Wonders allow,
Wonders send.
Wonder now...
Wonder is the right sense of worship: the purest form of life. Wonder opens us, enables us, and pushes us to the uttermost reaches of our destiny.
***
Truth is a constant; it’s vibrant, surviving eternally through all generations. Watch for her: she waits to be found. She is the secret to Wisdom, unlocking her locket.
***
Disappointment’s not the point. Where we’re distracted from is. Come back there. Disappointment’s a red herring. Disappointment’s the cue to refocus.
***
Life is a more urgent conquest than we’ve, perhaps, ever thought. What about life awaits our discovery? What have we missed thus far? What remains to be found, or even rediscovered?
***
As we delve into our pasts, we can begin to notice a spreading phenomenon. If we feel somehow condemned by our pasts, how might others feel about theirs?
***
Space and time: life thought about in such terms expands the capacity of our minds and hearts. Space and time are the broader perspectives.
***
We may talk about it but can we live it? This, and not more verbiage, is our remit.
***
When we can enjoy the simplicity of fruit and vegetables, we can begin on the quest for the meaning of life.
***
Look for signs and don’t stop looking. But don’t be satisfied with only one answer.
***
We do what we can, when we can do it. There’s no proper sense in delaying most things.
***
Some girls and boys have all the toys,
And some have very few,
Little, actually, does it really matter,
Jesus makes all things new.
***
Only assess people when asked to do so—by another in authority: human or Divine. Then be gracious.
***
Now is the moment before the future comes. Now is a good time to be in. Now will finish all too soon. Make the most of now.
***
Fret not the lack of achievement in such a reflective season. The afternoon sun beckons after a quiet, coolish morning. There will be more to achieve.
