I am Sorry about where I have been!

It has been an extended time since I sat down in the evening intent on stringing together word that have a clear meaning and that are honouring to Father.  Even now I am far from confident that I can do this still.  As many of the readers of this piece will remember from 300 episodes, or so, in the past.  This blog was started as a partnership between Father as originator and myself, as copy boy.  Somewhere along the journey I developed a sense of independence, and to put a not too fine a point on it the flow of inspiration started to dry up.

It all was so sweet a partnership.  In the beginning I contended with the Master on my ability to string continuous passages together on a daily basis but after a period of contention I finally conceded on the basis the He would supply the text and often the title and I moved to the inspiration of His Spirit.

To put it bluntly I started to believe in my ability and developed a pride based attitude to a written exercise of faith in concert with the One who is always faithful.  At this point there must be a definition of the part in which my error stood between the flow of words and Master’s supply.  When pride raised its ugly head, Master did what He usually does and He stood to one side: He stood there behind me as I struggled to pull together a 500 to 600 word blog.

It is not as if the concept of the blog was expired, an argument I successfully used within the constructs of my mind.  It is always an admirable thing to do to “Make A Difference Daily” in our own lives or in the lives that we impact in the process our 24/7 life among others: and unfortunately that is where I went off on my tangent.  Father cannot use us when we have our own agendas and even more than that when we stop listening to His enticing words.

Words are just that words, they have no inherent value that makes them readable.  This is found in the source that is entrenched, or perhaps in the sauce which makes them palatable to the consumer.  In fact the ownership of any piece of work is, once it is written is only partly that of the writer, it is more owned by the readers who give it life and liberty.  Or on the other hand decide that the best place for it may be in the ever available file 13.

Having made the above comments I have made myself very vulnerable as I have rather pointedly empowered you to consider this piece junk or of value.

Having had my rant can we return to the topic which is part of the piece?  Our mad world and is there still a value in attempting to be change agents in our little piece of the world? Sometimes Dad may give us a major change to initiate.  In other environments the change is as simple as creating an environment of peace in an area where there is little peace.  As an example that I was involved in some time back was creating an openness in the people we regularly meet.  It was as simple as “smiling for a while” simply put engaging people with our eyes and having reached that far then to simply give them a smile.  It was interesting to notice people in the not too far time that would be ready to offer me a smile, they seemed to be on the lookout for me with the smile.

This is a “simple” way of making a difference for every one of us there are any number of activities that Father has for us to reach others for Him and in so doing make a difference daily

Might I suggest that God is calling each and every one of us to make that sort of difference daily as a part of bringing forth the Kingdom of God on earth? Paul of Tarsus would respond that this is our very duty as children of God.
