Forged By Faith

Colossians 3:5 NIV Every life’s debt And yes, even owed by that which isn’t alive. For the truth is that anything to which we give our lives becomes itself alive in us via the time and intention we give to this attention as given unto whatever it is that we’ve at first considered and then determined to be worth such a loss as the time we can’t get back and the intention we can’t take back. No, for such things as time and intention are matters made monstrously important when seen in light of how few years we’ve left and how much wear we’ve already endured. For even upon souls designed to last forever, still the burdens of a life borne inside such losses as delight and disbelief are bound to cause some strain. Not that He intended us for such pain as all our past problems have made in the way of such things as either hindsight’s many horrors as held inside the sight of the things we wish we’d have seen in the moment in which we see now only another mistake being made or the worry now won...

Matthew 16:25 NIV Let it go For if to lose this life is to life find gained, then to surrender our share of such is something of such substance as to show forth the faith that our now longstanding standing in place has never been able to allow us to say was in any way ours at all. And while we may have tried our very best to believe always otherwise, the simple clarity is met within the world’s familiarity with both what crosses achieve and thus what Christ accomplished for those who in Him believe. It just all comes down to whether or not we believe in Him enough to actually follow within the path that He himself came to pave so as to save all of they, who are still all of we who know well we need all of what He did and to share in at least a portion of the same if we’re to find the same as the outcome for which He came to lead us all. Which is souls saved. The issue then arises in that for our lives we’ve not had the audacity to even consider the imagining of just how much we deserve...

Isaiah 37:19 NIV Into such a share Simply because He who created us has too called us there into that place in which we too come to want only the waste of all we’ve wanted that’s all but wasted so many years and fears upon what wasn’t worth much at all of either as both could have and thus should have been given unto He who’s given us both these lives and too this exemplar of the call as given then unto all who’ve played their part within this fall both out of love with He who is God and in love then with all that never was. And so now we who’ve known a life as lost to the lifelessness of all idolatry, and there idleness, we all now have this scene seen of some seeking to destroy what in us has only sought to destroy us and thus should be met with the equality of treatment as set forth within the Old Testament. Yes, we’re to go ancient upon this most antiquated of outlook, something of a battle plan the likes of an eye for an eye, tooth for tooth, or, more specifically here, a life for...

Isaiah 30:22 NIV When you hear For having gone both right and left and found along the both more wrong than right, and that because of having long determined to ignore the warnings as given by He who’s always been just trying to lead us within the only Way we can go by which life can be found by any, all then that’s left is for us to leave all we’ve learned to love along the way to what is this nowhere we’ve been now for longer than we ever cared to consider. No, we’ve never wanted to admit ourselves so vastly lost in love with all that only takes life away. Thankfully still He stands pointing and saying, “This is the way; walk in it.” Issue then, which makes such gift of His guidance given into a grievance governed by a grief so great we at many times agree only to neither get along nor go along is that His way in which we’re to walk is one its own won within what is a flame of sorts. Only His isn’t really a fire borne inside desire such as all those we’ve long lived burning for. No,...

Philippians 2:7 NIV Rather A word which poses the proposed proposition of what’s another option as posed upon a place, path or person that was thus not chosen leaving the win to rather the rather that was. And we now know this because of our having ourselves chosen a great many things we, at the time at least, thought were better than the other we could have chosen rather. And too because of that path paved by the promise of the profit of the punishment met first rather than later. Promised by He who did what we needed rather than that for which we’ve yet to find reason. For our paths have been mostly chosen based upon what we wanted as determined by what we thought would work best for us. And thus His way makes no sense as it’s one won within sacrifice. And we’ve never really seen much reason for that. Other than love. For to lay down one’s life for any other is a path rather rare to take. And indeed, this coming Monday we celebrate the memorial of those memorialized within that makin...
