"When Jesus saw her weeping, and those Jews who had come along with her, also weeping, He was deeply moved in spirit and troubled.... Jesus Wept." [John 11:33]
DEEPLY MOVED IN SPIRIT
The creation and birthing of divine compassion.
As we share here, one of the "unifying" works that we see in one another is this "separateness" that we all seem to have experienced (and continue to experience in most of our daily life, I am sure). As we share how our lives have not been allowed to just settle into a Christian *niche* of some sort, and how we have grieved at times over this ... we recognize underneath the words, hearts that have been broken again and again. It is from "broken hearts" He will release the Compassion from which He shall be clearly seen. Not us.. but HIM.
In our Brokenness ~~ He is multiplied... released to the multitudes. May each of us willingly be broken, again and again.. and be able to experience His Compassion.
your sister in His Kingdom,

This is a song/poem the Lord put in my spirit in 1992.
May it bless us all as He intends
THE WISDOM OF GOD
The Wisdom of God is not "logical" to man.
His Ways are so very different from our own.
What seems so "illogical" to our mortal minds...
Is how He designed His Eternal Plan!
He said, "seek Him first and His Kingdom"
and all those "things", your mind says are so important..
Will be given to you.. as He sees your true needs.
But the "seeking of Him" is the method.
He says "get" by "giving to others" this day
He says "give your life" and yours will be saved
Being "most" in His Kingdom.. means being the "least"
He says: "to go up"... "go down" first
"To live", He said: "die" "To get", He said: "give"
"To be righteous", like Him, "have faith"
To seek the reward.. is to miss out on His Way
for the "result" is not the same as the "cause".
To have one, you must first, be willing to seek...
With Him, the End does not justify the Means.
Makes no sense to the mind of a logical man...
For his logic tells him to be focused..
on "That" which he wishes to acquire in life,
never allowing his goals to lose their importance!
Logic says: If possessions you want.. learn to "hoard"
To be MOST in man's kingdom... be selfish
To be Righteous: lower the mark and pretend
Never lose sight of your goal's great importance!
But Jesus said His Ways are not the same!
He said overcome evil with goodness...
He said we could not be disciples of His without...
allowing the things of this world, to get out of focus.
For when He's in a heart, those things drift away
His Ways steadily become more important.
We lose our desire for the things of this world
As His Love and His Spirit grow stronger.
He says: Get... by giving to others this day
He says: give your life and yours will be saved
Being most in His Kingdom.. means being the least
He says to go up.. go down first!
To Live, He said, "die"; To get, He said, "give"
To be righteous like Him... just have Faith!
We see "giving to others" is like what He did.
We see "loving the lost" was His Method
We see "He loved us first", so we WANT to do the same!
We see: "dying to self" brings us closer
We see: "Righteousness" is His Spirit in us
We see we can trust Him to lead us..
His Ways become our ways.. through no effort of ours
For His Life in us, changes our vision!
The Love we feel for Him changes our hearts
takes away that all-encompassing hunger for glory.
Instead, we are caught up in All Things Eternal
Fear, loses it's grip on our soul.
We know our tickets have already been purchased
to a Better Home that awaits us.. some day
When He determines it's time for the voyage
We can trust Him to lead us in The Way.
We no longer worry about "clothes" for the trip
or "shelter", or "food or water"..
We trust Him to supply whatever we need
As long as we're willing to "seek Him" in the matter
He's already shown to us His Great Love
why would we be afraid of any danger?
We see that He is Lord of all lords..
why would we fear what He's in control of.
But remember... His Ways are not man's ways at all.
Cause and effect are NOT the same
You "get", by "giving"; you "live by dying"
You become righteous by Faith.
You'll be most by being the least in His Kingdom
You're provided for.. by trusting His Grace.
You work by Faithing in Him, whom God sent
You're saved, by Trusting in Jesus.
Not Logical? NO.. not a bit like our wisdom!
We can't naturally "turn the other cheek"
It's His Spirit, in us, who teaches us His Ways
Who shows us, we're most strong, when we're weak
The Seeking of Him, as the source of All Wisdom
The Seeking of Him... brings fulfillment
Not by the standard of this world at all..
By the Standard of Eternally True Wisdom.
