I may not know why I haven’t organized myself to attend to my blog daily as was and is my intent in establishing it. But there are some things I do know; and I count such knowledge wisdom. Wisdom from on High.
I know that no life is random; that each of us who survived the birth canal journey did so because God allowed our conception and subsequent birth. Think of the uncountable opportunities in the universe for human conception, and how many do not come to fruition. Those that do are intentional, set in motion by the God who proclaimed, ” Be fruitful and multiply.” And imprinted within the spirit of each life is a purpose; a God-ordained design for His glory.
I know that life comes with both bitterness and sweetness; that we will know both trials and triumphs, laughter and tears, good times and awful times. Yet not even this discordance in the realities of life distorts the love of the Giver for His creation. For did He not proclaim, “I have loved you with an everlasting love…”? And does not everlasting mean “forever?” Through all life’s vicissitudes?
I know that each day is a gift we unwrap as we awaken on our bed, sofa, cot, floor, pallet, cardboard box, or concrete pillar. This gift of another beginning brings opportunities we can embrace, ignore, tackle or ponder; but opportunities they are. How we receive them; learn from them or utilize them is up to us. “Because of God’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.”
Most of all, I know God is real. He is real in my soul and in the souls of all who receive His love expressed in and through the salvation offered us by His Son, Jesus Christ. This is the greatest wisdom – to know the Savior.
Peace. Love. Joy
