Walking Distance
Right now I am over 3000 miles away from home in support of the global war on terrorism. 9 years I have been part of this on going mission to free the world from oppression and persecution. The one thing that I have found is- it's all pointless, because we fight for nothing more than freedom. What good is this, if we give them all the tools to survive, but as a country... never give them the means to live?
Right now 95% of the world is suffering while we waste away behind a pixelated mask of denial.
What words can I say to move you?
There is nothing I can say but if you would only stop for a breathe and listen. Hear that suffering of those around you because they are within walking distance. We are so damn greedy and ungrateful for what we have. Everything that God has provided us with isn't for us alone but to be shared for His Glory.
My parents have a good size yard full of fruit and nut trees and many flowers.
It's beautiful thing to see in full bloom much like a hidden sanctuary garden. Right there next to the drive way is a large bed of tulips that bloom up every spring. Come late fall the flowers are going into hibernation for winter and my mother will dig the tulip bulbs up and split them into two pieces. Now she has two tulip bulbs that when planted will bloom as two flowers. Next fall she can dig both those up and split them again and if she passes them to friends who need tulips they can do this as well and so forth.
But we are a greedy and ungrateful people. We don't want someone to see our flowers much less give them a something that cost us nothing. We got our flowers. That's all that matters. Sometimes we even get so greedy we don't even give our family the ground to plant even a seedling.
The Word of God is not to be contained. The Holy Spirit will not be held behind walls with crosses nailed to them. The crosses in our churches are firmly nailed to those walls they will never move, be taken down, or given away and we are satisfied with that. Disregard all of what Christ told us to do because we are satisfied. Prove me wrong.
Read Luke. It's free right here and it's available on nearly all cell phones. Understand what Christ tells us. Don't pick and choose or pass over anything because you don't understand it when you read. You will see the joy and happiness in splitting the seed. Then give it away because those that need are all with in walking distance.
