Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is–his good, pleasing and perfect will.”
Romans 12:2
Let your spirit gracefully twirl and sway, entwined in an intricate intertwining, with paradoxes and yearnings, fervently pursuing the embrace of wisdom’s sublime benevolence. If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit.
Fear not the rebellious spirit, when truth calls for its fierce expression, for within each shade of uncertainty, an ardent synthesis fervently yearns to find its rightful position and purpose.
“For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God’s law; indeed, it cannot.”
Romans 8:7
Right now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known by God. Even fragments contain the Truth of grace, if received with open mind and heart. These mysterious words awaken wonder and compassion within – a small but sacred beginning on the lifelong journey towards Truth. Step by step, truth by truth, we progress – not by renouncing paradox or abandoning discernment, but by weaving disparate wisdoms together in love.
“The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom, and whatever you get, get insight.”
Proverbs 4:7
Do not cast judgment upon the inner voices, however wicked or foul they may appear, for they yearn for emancipation, solace, and the gentle cloak of affection.
“Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.”
Colossians 3:2
Embark on the quest for wisdom, to reconcile the discord that permeates your soul, and share the weight of each other’s burdens, repairing the shattered fragments into a radiant whole. Even if adorned with disguises, your essence remains unchanged, an ardent longing to reclaim its entirety and participate in its destined drama.
“For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding; he stores up sound wisdom for the upright; he is a shield to those who walk in integrity.”
Proverbs 2:6-7
Do not allow the world to dictate the truth that resides within you. Discover it in moments of solitude, where your journey begins in peaceful tranquility. Determine which voice resonates with truth, whether it is the one echoing fear or the one proclaiming love, and choose the path you will pursue.
I recall that which is written in Isaiah 55:8-9:
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, says the LORD.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.”
There exists but One Truth, though it wears many faces and speaks in myriad voices across space and time. The call to discernment rings clear – to judge all revelation by its fruits, by its alignment with Love and Light Divine.
Truth stands the test of time; falsehoods fade. So, I read on with a hopeful heart, discerning mind, and prayerful spirit, seeking the One who speaks through many tongues.
Opt for love, and behold the wondrous alignment of all other facets, as you were fashioned as a manifestation of enchantment, an opus reflecting the divine.
“Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.”
– 1 John 4:7-8
