'Which is a more difficult creation? You or the Heavens?' (from the Quran)
|
||||||

<br/><br/>
|

Praise be to the Most Merciful One, who is Oft-forgiving, and
|
||||||
|
the Accepting of repentance, and Compassionate <br/><br/>
|
||||||
|
It is the eleventh day of the second month of the 105th year
|
||||||
|
since Man built a city with G!D's help and provisions
|
||||||
|
<br/>
|
||||||
|
I went to a gathering of people today,
|
||||||
|
where people talked about hearing voices,
|
||||||
|
and their experiences. J, whom I met at the
|
||||||
|
meet-up, said that the people
|
||||||
|
were sharing personal experiences,
|
||||||
|
not giving advice,
|
||||||
|
and that was a plus. <br/><br/>
|
||||||
|
A [']Japanese woman['] talked about her
|
||||||
|
experience of sexual abuse by her father,
|
||||||
|
and her perspective on it: that it was
|
||||||
|
a dark side of her life which she accepted
|
||||||
|
as a whole, together with the 'light'.
|
||||||
|
<br/><br/>
|
||||||
|
<i>Writer's note: she also shared that her marriage
|
||||||
|
had... problems. Well, G!D knows truth, and I do not
|
||||||
|
claim to be G!D
|
||||||
|
</i>
|
||||||
|
<br/><br/>
|
||||||
|
I was surprised to discover that her story resonated with me. What
|
||||||
|
happened sexually [or spiritually] between my [']father['] and I,
|
||||||
|
when I was a [younger] child? If something did happen, where is my
|
||||||
|
focus - is it on blaming my [']father['], or on reflecting on
|
||||||
|
what is inside me<strike>,</strike> that is causing such an
|
||||||
|
incident to be mirrored in the outside reality?
|
||||||
|
<br/><br/>
|
||||||
|
My body and feelings seem to remember, even though I do not.
|
||||||
|
<br/><br/>
|
||||||
|
I want the truth. Could it be that I could not bear it now?
|
||||||
|
<br/><br/>
|
||||||
|
I feel discarded, like I was a dirty piece or towel. I feel
|
||||||
|
jealous that my [']father['] is spending time with my [']brother['].
|
||||||
|
<br/><br/>
|
||||||
|
<i>from the writer: Jesus said, 'You are the salt of the earth. But if salt
|
||||||
|
loses its saltiness, who can make it salty again? It is no
|
||||||
|
longer good for anything, except to be thrown away, or trampled upon.
|
||||||
|
<br/><br/>
|
||||||
|
Jesus (who called himself the Son of Man) said, 'I am the Life, the Truth
|
||||||
|
and the Way.'
|
||||||
|
<br/><br/>
|
||||||
|
Jesus said to a man, 'Come, please follow me.'
|
||||||
|
</i>
|
||||||
|
I remember that these feelings
|
||||||
|
<br/><br/><i>Jesus said, 'Can a blind man lead another blind man? Would
|
||||||
|
they not soon fall into a ditch?'
|
||||||
|
</i>
|
||||||
|
<br/><br/>
|
||||||
|
I remember that these feelings are a shadow of a concrete event
|
||||||
|
from my past, and that there is a message or lesson to be learnt,
|
||||||
|
that is beneath these feelings.
|
||||||
|
<br/><br/>
|
||||||
|
Oh, Father G!D, Abba, lift these feelings so that I can learn
|
||||||
|
and <strike>learn</strike> and hear and listen! In the name of
|
||||||
|
Christ Jesus, I ask this. <br/><br/>
|
||||||
|
How do I view my [']father[']? What aspects of him do I not like,
|
||||||
|
and what do those reflect of myself? What I dislike about
|
||||||
|
him can be found within me. He was ignorant. He is unsensitive,
|
||||||
|
cowardly, indecisive, spineless, dull, quick-tempered, slow,
|
||||||
|
boring and controlling. What does that say about me?
|
||||||
|
<br/><br/>
|
||||||
|
<i>from the writer: Jesus, the Anointed One, died to reconcile
|
||||||
|
many to G!D, in one eternal sacrifice. One sacrifice for
|
||||||
|
all eternity, in other words. (and it is divine in nature,
|
||||||
|
a sacrifice the world cannot give.)<br/><br/>
|
||||||
|
As Scriptures say, 'All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles, and creatures
|
||||||
|
of the sea are being tamed and have been tamed by man, but no man can
|
||||||
|
tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
|
||||||
|
With the tongue we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men,
|
||||||
|
who have been made in God’s likeness.
|
||||||
|
Out of the same mouth come blessing and cursing.
|
||||||
|
My brothers, this should not be!
|
||||||
|
Can both fresh water and bitter water flow from the same spring?
|
||||||
|
My brothers, can a fig tree grow olives, or a grapevine bear figs?
|
||||||
|
Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water. [on the Wisdom from Above]
|
||||||
|
Who is wise and understanding among you?
|
||||||
|
Let him show it by his good conduct, by deeds done in the humility
|
||||||
|
that comes from wisdom. But if you have bitter jealousy
|
||||||
|
and selfish ambition in your hearts,
|
||||||
|
do not boast in it or deny the truth.
|
||||||
|
Such wisdom does not come from above, but is earthly,
|
||||||
|
unspiritual, demonic. For where jealousy and selfish ambition
|
||||||
|
exist, there will be disorder and every evil practice.
|
||||||
|
But the wisdom from above is first of all pure,
|
||||||
|
then peace[-]able, gentle, accommodating, full of mercy and
|
||||||
|
good fruit, impartial, and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in
|
||||||
|
peace reap the fruit of righteousness.
