The gentle gentile

When the dust settles.

Yes. Sometimes it is when the measure of a man comes to life.

You see. Different things. (‘Things’ is used in the Bible to explain the unexplainable while mere mortals work to figure it out) The meaning behind the words.

Most of us regular folks are simply trying to “get by.”

He.

Hopes for more for us. And. At the same time, we have a million, a gagillion ways to ‘muck’ it up, to ‘muck’ up the simple. A make it complicated mindset of agendas and wannabes.

THANK GOD.

He is ok with our slowness. Our delayed responses in understanding His message.

When the dust settles.

What will tomorrow bring in all its newness and potential newness? Potential awareness.

God Only Knows.

Disclaimer: He. Keeps track. But. HE does not keep the score.

Hurray for once.

Yet. A ‘head fake’ to the there from here is always worth a note of acknowledgement. Of motivations and intentions of some of our mere mortals.

Depending upon and who you believe. You see, and I see, it is quite more complicated than any of us ‘wish’. The good news is the hopeful forge on in ways unimaginable. 🙂

In today’s terms. Sadly, it seems to matter little how we got here as to how we will get there……it takes time.

Aha.

Hopefully. Astute observers take note of the significance of the here and now.

In the meantime, Jesus was alway gentle in the face of death and destruction. A peace that passes understanding. A calm known by the faith in His Father’s love for Him as a spirit. The funny, although not specifically humorous idea of Jesus and His thinking was, He really did perform a real act of sacrifice.

For us.

For our failings.

Above all. And. For our false witness against our neighbor.

Yes.

Yep.

He knew.

Some. Until proven strong or wrong, would prove their arrogance against their neighbor because weakness needs to be flushed out of the recesses of the gunk until the soul eventually,

Shows itself.

As it is.AS it was.And. AS it will forever shall be.

Why?

Because He knows who the capable are to carry on His message. HE has had to do a lot of

’flushing’ out of the frauds and the fearful to implore them to either follow or be

alone.

In their discontent and disbeliefs,

in the heat of the battle the goal becomes skewed and jumbled.

In the meantime, we read, we view, we scroll, what we think is going on in the now world of immediate access of all things. In all its cultural twists and turns, one giant elephant in the room remains in the face of the defenders when the dust settles, what will happen to those who disagreed with the mission.?…

Who’s mission, they ask themselves, because at this point the wavering have spent a long time of their lifetime hoping for someone else to

take care of it.

The rational minded ask why do we have to take care of it while the least of these wait for an answer from God.

A perfect storm.

He knows.

He waits.

He waits some more.

Thank God for His patience even though He watched His Son die a tortuous death on a cross of our sins.

These guys were for real. (The Son of God and His Father)

Are you?

For real,

able to step up and drive the hard bargain of independence for the sake of the greater good.?…

Given the gift of time… and soul searching in the modern times of the 2020’s requires a new set of skills not quite inhabitable by the mere mortals inhabiting an existence they hope for rather than are.

Perspectives vary only in the scope of soul. Otherwise they dissipate into the dust that gets swept aside because no one had the time to pay it time.

In the meantime, many slices of pizza will be consumed and many others will wish for some awareness.

It takes time.

Yours.

Mine.

Ours.

Until we get there one way or another, we wait while the texts fly and the memories fade.

The perfect storm and also the perfect excuse forgetting why we all are here in the first place.

When and while the dust settles we negotiate our wants and needs and project them and transfer them on to others we have no intention of engaging in a human relationship with. We just hope and hope again they will get us to where we think we want to be.

It sucks.

it stinks.

Most of all.

It is dishonest.

A lousy way to live and a worse way to live believing our fellow man deserves less than us.

How we may have got or gotten to/the here says more about us than the person we hope to knee cap.

Enter.

Him.

He keeps us grounded to the greater good of all of us. Even if and when we may lose in the process of what we think we are owed and deserve.

At the end of the day.

As well as the beginning of a God given day, we and one must ask what is His goal for me?

Take it from there. Because no one person knows.

God Only Knows.

Why he put us here, in the way he puts us here, for the reasons he put us here.

We. Put up a great and never ending fight as to why we may not want to be here,

or there.

Man plans. God laughs.

We, May ‘Bible hop’ …. hoping for clarity at all phases and stages of life and most of all forget to listen to that little voice whispering in our ear that we are off base and should work to get back on track.

Huh?

At the end of the day, it only matters that we served our fellow man, if and when we may have struggled with knowing the why of the moment.

He knows.

We listen.

We are innardly given the chance to be over joyed by His wondrous ways and means.

We create goodness only when He gives us permission. Because He knows His servants who mean what they say and say what they mean, and mean it🙂

Have a great day!
