Ex Nihilo

God created 'something' out of 'nothing' and then entered into it so as to give it 'everything' with 'nothing' in return for Himself. Now, isn't that 'something' worth talking about? In fact isn't it "Everything?"

You can't always follow your heart nor your mind, Alleluia!

"He's mad", cries the human heart as it clasps hands with the human mind in a rare occasion of agreement. By way of introduction, the "He" in question is Jesus Christ who just a moment ago breathed His last while upon the Cross. The subject of their agreement, that is the one between heart and mind, pertains to the 'returns' on the 'investment' made by such a young Man. Didn't anyone ever tell Him that 'Death is final', 'Contextualize Your dream' and 'Enjoy life on earth a bit' after all this is the planet your living on?
"He gave it all, His love that is and what does He have to show for it now save for a pale lifeless body hanging like a dirty sock hung over the edge of a hamper?"
'The Angel said to the women, 'why do you look for the living among the dead, He is not here, He has Risen!'
By way of conclusion, its really too bad that some don't stick around to hear how the story ends. For some, 'you have to be there to believe it' while for others 'you have to believe it in order to truly be there'. So, Christ's supposed madness turned to gladness despite the consensus of heart and mind, will yours? Dream Big, remembering that Christ is your context.

Why did you bring us out into this desert?

Hunger not for the joys of slavery in the time of desolation because the reward of perseverance is found in the timelessness of freedom's consolation.

Voce

The Voice of the Prophet is seldom heard with welcome and yet historians must painfully record the Truth of what they had to say.

Why?

Despised in the eyes of His Father was He,
blacklisted and abandoned, yet He suffered all of this for love of me.
The nails, the thorns, the shortness of breath,
the pointing of fingers, yet these did not bring His death.
His Father ignored Him when at last He cried out.
This wretched Abandonment was the death-dealing clout.
And yet am I here in this season of sin,
neglectful of the hell that Divine Love felt within.
My God, my God, why have I abandoned You?

Sometimes

Sometimes, if not many times a person will have to go without, before they discover what's within.
