In every situation and anything we are involved in,
We each take home a different memory or result.
Mentally, socially, spiritually, and emotionally located
Plays a part in what we are prepared to receive.
Face the world from your corner of Life
A personal take on what is potentially presented
What you receive will be a taste of your preparation
All other missing elements will never be remembered.
But they are not missing. They are there. Layered.
Woven in and through all pieces, they mark a grander design
Of a story or telling of an event,
That you were not able to receive.
Lost to the moment is a fuller Story of life.
Go to the Grand Canyon and marvel at the history,
Or just call it a big ol’ ditch. Who cares?
Maybe that’s why we deal with life so uniquely.
Our personal force allows us to see differently.
You experience it one way, and I another.
Standing in Jerusalem, that Holy City of the Bible,
Yes, it’s modernized. Somewhat. But to inhale and wonder.
This was the same acreage that Jesus walked!
Think about it like this. Go to a library.
What draws you to a particular shelf of books?
Story? History? Science? Culture? Religion?
That’s about as far as I go. I know “me.”
Prayer. Fasting. The Word of God. Praise. Worship.
Share with me a story from your creative mind.
Sharpen the focus. Narrow the story. Conclusion?
Your ending may just be the beginning for my mind.
Matthew 14:13-21 NKJV
When Jesus heard it,
He departed from there by boat to a deserted place by Himself.
But when the multitudes heard it,
they followed Him on foot from the cities.
And when Jesus went out He saw a great multitude;
and He was moved with compassion for them,
and healed their sick.
When it was evening,
His disciples came to Him, saying,
“This is a deserted place, and the hour is already late. Send the multitudes away, that they may go into the villages and buy themselves food.”
But Jesus said to them,
“They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.”
And they said to Him,
“We have here only five loaves and two fish.”
He said, “Bring them here to Me.”
Then He commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass.
And He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven,
He blessed and broke and gave the loaves to the disciples;
and the disciples gave to the multitudes.
So they all ate and were filled,
and they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments that remained.
Now those who had eaten were about five thousand men,
besides women and children.
Think about it.
They had all they needed,
Though meagerly perceived.
Lacking? Faith. Insight. Imagination.
Believing there are more possibilities
But only through Jesus.
They only saw naturally.
Jesus invites us to see spiritually.
