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.
