Souls lose their Pizzazz and Flutter about Aimlessly when Worldliness sets in
Remain open to new sources of Life, Light, and Love; upon submission to Christ a wave of character unfolds and Spiritual Renewal begins. The Holy One starts to Smooth and Balance your days so nights will be restful. God’s natural outlook is for people to excel at every aspect of Life, but society and political intervention keep individuals down.
Souls lose their Pizzazz and Flutter about aimlessly when Worldliness sets in. Modernity doesn’t allow souls to mature. Morals melt away and dreams of True Love seem farfetched, too enchanting for Money Mongers who obstruct justice to get ahead. Jesus is constantly innovating Spiritual Platforms to equalize the Muse of Morons.
“When Maccabeus and his companions, under the Lord’s leadership, had recovered the temple and the city, they destroyed the altars erected by the foreigners in the marketplace and the sacred shrines. After purifying the temple, they made another altar. Then, with fire struck from flint, they offered sacrifice for the first time in two years, burned incense, and lighted lamps. They also set out the showbread.
When they had done this, they prostrated themselves and begged the Lord that they might never again fall into such misfortunes and that if they should sin at any time, he might chastise them with moderation and not hand them over to blasphemous and barbarous Gentiles. On the anniversary of the day on which the temple had been profaned by the foreigners, that is, the twenty-fifth of the same month Kislev, the purification of the temple took place.” (2Maccabees 10:1-5 NABRE)
Humbling oneself to God is easier than most people think. I’ve pruned rose bushes that cause more pain than a spat in the Confessional. Society is getting dangerously close to Total Darkness where God has warned there will be Thrashing and Gnashing of wicked smirks whose agenda is to debacle righteousness.
