When Circumstances change and Faith is challenged, the life we’re accustomed to needs guidance from God. Our spiritual well-being does not grow when we are threatened and vulnerable; yet the mysteries of Faith blossom through His-Living-Words while in dire straits. When nations collide, our Lord sends vibrant messages to their leaders offering Life, Death, Blessings or Disorder in total transparency. Should the director search Sacred-Scripture for answers, rather than polarized Politicians or Generals, the Light-of-Christ will prevail.

The Love-of-Christ is the Life all humanity craves; those tainted with transgression hide their inner yearnings from God, the Holy-Spirit and Christ; until the reality of Death and Destruction grips their soul. At that stage of life their Spirit has run its course, our Lord’s hand is outstretched, and God’s forgiveness can be victorious. The Amazing-Grace of which we speak moves through the Word-of-God; let us meditate together the following passage.

His disciples came and asked him, “Why do you use parables when you talk to the people?”

He replied, “You are permitted to understand the secrets of the Kingdom of Heaven, but others are not. To those who listen to my teaching, more understanding will be given, and they will have an abundance of knowledge. But for those who are not listening, even what little understanding they have will be taken away from them. That is why I use these parables,

For they look, but they don’t really see. They hear, but they don’t really listen or understand. This fulfills the prophecy of Isaiah that says,

‘When you hear what I say,
    you will not understand.
When you see what I do,
    you will not comprehend.
For the hearts of these people are hardened,
    and their ears cannot hear,
and they have closed their eyes—
    so their eyes cannot see,
and their ears cannot hear,
    and their hearts cannot understand,
and they cannot turn to me
    and let me heal them.’

“But blessed are your eyes, because they see; and your ears, because they hear. I tell you the truth, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see, but they didn’t see it. And they longed to hear what you hear, but they didn’t hear it. (Mathew 13:10-15 NLT)

I’m honored to have shared this Sacred passage with all of you, for yours is the Kingdom-of-God! In glorious summation the Lord is the Giver-of-Life; there’s a monumental movement that reads His-Living-Words and comprehends; our followers hear testimony and believe its origin, see what God created and sustain its existence; despite outrageous circumstance they choose Life-Everlasting.
