Forged By Faith

John 3:21 NIV Let it be known Because, well, one day it will be. In fact one day all we are as is to be by then defined by all we’ve done or didn’t will be seen, shown, heard and held and that unto the Light that is the life that is the Christ who came and died in light of all we did and didn’t back before we didn’t know any better. Only problem even then was that we did as God’s all along made it known to all of us that there is good for us and bad for us, fruit to bear and fruit to avoid, truth to speak and lies spoken instead, righteousness by which to live and sadly just how far then we’ve fallen so short. In lives we lived as if He didn’t. All because we didn’t care. Could have. Should have. Doesn’t matter now if we say or not that we would have because what’s been done has been done and He’s already seen all under the sun which is where we are, for now at least. Indeed, we remain for at least another breath, another moment, another memory under the normality that we’ve all of us ...

John 3:20 NIV The darkness deception It’s something of this invention whose intention is the confusion of, well, everyone. And that’s because, well, the devil seeks still to steal and kill and destroy as many as he might and that from both the purpose of this life and thus then too the promise of the next. Indeed, our enemy has never stopped working to make it seem that the darkness is the place for us to be. Mostly only because it’s the place where he resides and I guess he too must be afraid of the dark as he clearly wants for as many to join him there as he can convinced to do so all so that he’s not lonely. Or something like that. But the problem is that, well, it makes sense to us too as we too are afraid of the dark. Or at least as kids we were, which, when you stop and think about it kind of adds yet another layer to why it is that Christ implores us unto a life explored through a childlike faith. For indeed, kids are afraid of the dark, something we grown-ups mock them for. And...

John 3:19 NIV Alive in the shadows Of a life of only sin and self as that’s sadly both the life we’ve bought because such is the lie that sells. It’s that one which tells of a chance to chase whatever we want to have, to hold, to hope to be and that within this place as if this place, simply because it’s where we are, is where we should expect to stay. That all of life itself not only can be found but is to be found inside this ground, this dirt, this earth from which we are but from which the empty grave says we’ll go. A truth so few seem to know because so many know rather to live as if ever they’ll be here forever. Simply because it’s where we are for now. All of us just alive in a life of shadows cast by self and sin, weakness and worry and hatred and hopeless all then chosen at times unwittingly simply because, though claiming to see, we’ve become unaware to where we’re looking as rather we’re more worried about what we’re seeking. And the issue is that what we’re seeking is what ...

2 Thessalonians 2:12 NIV The awareness of responsibility It makes us then responsible for our awareness of whatever it is that we’re aware of and whatever we do then in light of whatever we realize, witness, learn, choose, lose, fail, forsake, find and/or forget. For to every life there is a debt and long before it was our death it was at first for our to live these lives seeking first things first. Alas we’ve all in mass come upon this idea that the first things are us and thus in us we trust and seek now even our truth. Yes, we’ve become a people who are aware of the concept of truth and thus too of lie. Problem is that we live this life according to our truth, a problem which shall be proved upon that Day when we’re made forever aware that we had no truth. But that rather there is only the one truth and that as was given long before any of us ever got here by the one God who decided that we could be here in what have become since then lives in which we live not in accordance to His ...

2 Thessalonians 2:11 NIV The allowance As a people who’ve become children of this world via our amassing within the wealth held within so too then have we been conditioned to consider the concept of an allowance as something given to children in response to their both undertaking and thus upholding a specified responsibility mostly centered upon the idea of chores which they do mostly to receive this giving of money in what is a starter transaction which teaches them the importance of hard work and the rewards to be met in the doing thereof. But in general terms an allowance is simply the amount of something that someone is allowed. Parents allow their children the promise of a certain sum of something, generally money, given as something of a reimbursement upon their child doing something that the two have agreed upon being done. So in other words an allowance is the allowing of something to be given in the direct response to another allowing themselves to both expect and thus accept ...
