Forged By Faith

Luke 12:15 NIV More is less If in regard to nothing else but room itself. And that’s simply because within our lives, within our eyes, within our minds there can fit only so much. We’ve only so much time within this life in which to find what all there is that we’re here to find, to feel, to figure out, to forge, to forget, to race toward and/or walk away from. To everything in and of this life there is an inherent limitation in some respect and to some degree. The problem then seems to be that as a people we still seek to see the kind of majority that allows us no room for anything. For, again, the more we have the less room we do. Because, well, everything takes up space. It may be that of the literal, physical space around us such as within our houses. This version we all know rather well as we all know rather well the amount of stuff we’ve at present crammed within our nooks and crannies. We all know the extra stuff that’s stored either in our garages, attics, basements or storage ...

Psalm 37:16 NIV Less is less Just of nothing that we’ll want and even less of all we’ll need. For with less exists this opportunity of humility coming along and convincing us to keep going along what is the eternal path that’s paved in devotion and its ability to keep ever-lit this raging fire that lives this life through these eyes that see finally these lies for the lies they are rather than the lives we thought we wanted. And indeed, within this world we are surrounded by so many things that can become unto us the seeds which grow this humility as every single day spent here we see something else that someone else says we need that, only through humility, can we see we not only don’t really need but actually quite clearly leads down a road we don’t want to travel on anymore. And that because, contrary to common confusion, not all roads lead to Heaven. In fact there’s only one and it was carved by He who came to carry a cross upon which a life He lost as was lain down willingly so as...

Ecclesiastes 4:6 NIV More is more Just of nothing that we want and even less of all we need. For with more exists this opportunity of greed coming along and convincing us to keep going along what is the endless path that’s paved in desire and its ability to keep ever-lit this raging fire that lives this life through these eyes that see these lies not for the lies they are but rather for the lives we want. And indeed, within this world we are surrounded by so many things that can become unto us the seeds which grow this greed as every single day spent here we see something else that someone else says we need. All of it for no reason other than making our lives better. Apparently. And, well, whenever better is something that’s widely considered available, and as easy as it is to find, supposedly, then you’d have to be a fool to refuse it. After all, better is better is it not? And indeed down here the commonest of all pursuits is that aimed at living our best lives and, well, best is mad...

Proverbs 23:5 NIV Here tomorrow, gone today Such is truly the way in which more things exist than we often care to consider within this world in which we wander not in wonder but rather within want for such worth as wealth and worry. Though, truth is we never really seem to worry about much other than wealth. And for it we worry so much that it can even begin to affect our health and heart and home as all the above can begin to feel left all alone as we’re off staying busy trying to build what can only break once we have. A thought we clearly never care to consider either. It’s kind of like that other which says that we can only lose whatever it is we have. Much like you can only fear becoming sad whenever you’re happy or worry you’ll be sick even as you feel well. And we think not about these things whilst we experience their other because the experiencing of that which is commonly considered good has for so long been our goal that whenever good we find, well, good we hold. Almost to ...
