1 Timothy 4:10 July 10, 2013

Connie Barris
I Timothy 4:10

"That is why we labor and strive, because we have put our hope in the living God, who is the Savior of all people, and especially of those who believe."

A trickle of tears from the Heavens falls on the good and the bad, the spiritual and the unspiritual, those who believe and those who do not believe. There is no discrimination in the choosing of who receives this blessing of His Holy Rain. The world moves on oblivious to the volley that seeps in the profound longing of their hearts. Before long, the thunder of passion fades to a distant roar.

Hope is either restored or lost somewhere along this great journey. Why me? I asked. Why not me? I heard.
I tasted the vileness of this Satan's wounds that I may understand it in its fullness.

The thing I came to loathe in others is the very thing I feared the most. It was the reflection of my soul and a mirror image of whom I prayed I was not. I have found that is the way we are as humans. The things that stir my essence to the edge of excitability have some great power undefined- holding rne in a secret lovers embrace.

It captures and takes me into captivity and will not release me until I let go of the power sustained through my fear and trepidation. God did not force me into this place, for "He stands at the door and knocks..." (Rev 3:20)

He is a Gentleman. He will wait as long as it takes. I turn the knob ...slowly. Do I trust my God-given instincts? My greatest fear has not been what was but what was not. "Why me?" I cried. 'Why not me?" He wept...


Prayer: For God so loved the world, ..May we love one another. (John 3:16)
