A Reconciled Relationship

its amazing how often we know the truth, yet in reality we dont Know the truth. [my bud nathan will enjoy that]

when GOD sent his son Jesus Christ as attonement for our sin, GOD was making a way for us to have a relationship with HIM. this not the same as a "big brother" or "perverbial santa claus" figure where GOD now grants you what ever you might need.

in order to grasp the realism of the relationship i've been reminded of  the reality the relationship between GOD and adam and eve before the fall of man. in the begining adam and eve had everything they could ever need and a very personal relationship with GOD. after sinning and the fall, man was seperated from GOD. now that Christ has paid the price for sin and is interceeding daily for us, we can have a relationship with the great and all mighty GOD.

sounds easy right? say a prayer - go to heaven not hell.

look closer, what seperates us from the personal relation with GOD that adam and eve had?  sin. now that Christ has paid the price we can have a relationship with GOD. this being the same type of very personal relationship that adam and eve had.

had sin never entered the world our very exsistance would revolve around glorifying GOD. what now is the difference if you are a child of GOD. our purpose is still the same to glorify and enjoy GOD and all he has given us in a very personal way.

adam and eve's very personal relationship =

what our relationship should be also.

how i have ever failed. to know is one thing, to Know is another.

A GOOD AND ADEQUATE TITLE should go here

i've found that leading a nice life requires structure.

along with, i've found that a structured life need not to be busy and elaborate, but simplistic in nature. so i intend to make some additions to my routine. they include:

-playing trivia games of many kinds

-becoming savvy with the hobby of puzzles

-taking in more theatre both professional and non

-re-inventing the art of snail mail

harvest the heart of a child and prioritize what it is that makes life enjoyable to you.

a slap across the face?

sometimes i must remind myself that i am going somewhere; that the dreams in my head will come true. there is a divine purpose and undoubtedly i must look through that lens. evil lurks among the good in people rich in deciet and girded with simple ambition.

dont fall victim to the plot in which you're not destined.

it may seem silly, but i keep a file of thanks, comments and praise from people who have written it along the way for the times i get lost in that which brings me down.

i am glutton of every possible outlet

soon and very soon we are going to see the KING

[at the midnight cry]

[in the twinkling of an eye]

[like a thief in the night]

...for we know not the hour

 i have alot - too much. in fact, i am glutton of every possible outlet this world so alows. the creature comforts our generation has come to expect are frivilous to the soul purpose of life, but seem to be the extent of life and personal status.

let us not look to ourselves or one another to weigh value but to the divine word of GOD.
