The Gift
Waiting With Patience: Like a meditation, our waiting with patience, enables us to better discern what it will take for us to achieve certain goals or objectives. Essentially, this is that same self-love journey. The Humility Process of aligning with our higher nature to overcome obstacles of the lower.
For example, one obstacle that I find consistently in my own journey, is one of strife & debate. Which is the result of my life being subjected to the public gaze. That because of this, no matter where I go, I’m more likely to find people ready to condemn any minor offences they can find in me, rather than support the sincerity of my intentions. More forward to strike me with penalties, than to reward my victories. Wiser to devise evil against the occasion of my downfall, rather than devise for the well-being of my journey.
Now in this that I declare unto you I praise you not, that ye come together not for the better, but for the worse. -1 Corinthians 11:17
The continued pattern of these things have made me out to become both the victim & the villian of my own season. That in my time of need, the public turns a blind eye in their own care of the world, leaving me alone to figure it all out while they babel.
What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not? what shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not. -1 Corinthians 11:22
He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. -Matthew 13:22
Over-exposure has become a limitation of my own social progression, due to others in their own cares of the world. As a result, I in the sincerity of spirit am despised in the light of my own experience, by those around me no matter where I go. These things have become deep roots of heavy contention on my life. Suggesting the idea that I’m too scandalous of a person to deal with. When the reality, is that people are quite literally looking for an offense against me.
A THREE-CORD STRING IS NOT EASILY BROKEN:
It’s not my intention to bring these up to condemn the sincerity in those around me. I also understand that I’m not the only person enduring these trials. The Beatitudes are what intercede for us, proving those of us in the spirit. What becomes our Golden Season, is that we often find our spirit of hope in our humility process.
And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come. -1 Corinthians 11:34
We find it written in Romans 3, that there is none righteous, no, not one. In the idea that we’ve all gone astray, falling short of being justified in law. To hold this as a standard without sufficient grace is to bewitch the people. It’s not uncommon that I’m neglected as a result of this, in uncertain fears of repercussion. None of us are of any good against these strongholds as individuals. It’s through intercession however, that we begin to find our best solutions as a collective. What do I mean by this?
There is one alone, and there is not a second; yea, he hath neither child nor brother: yet is there no end of all his labour; neither is his eye satisfied with riches; neither saith he, For whom do I labour, and bereave my soul of good? This is also vanity, yea, it is a sore travail.
Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.
For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up.
Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone?
And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
-Ecclesiastes 4:8-12
Reconciliation, as a Basis of Ministry: is the objective restoration of friendly relations, as an extention of friendship. As a spiritual practice of making one view or beleif compatible with the view of another. It’s what we ultimately strive to achieve with Divine favor not only in that it breaks down the corruptible qualities of our experience & builds it back up with healing, perceptive, or especially enduring qualities. But also, that the development of these "seeds" are what call for a sincerity of spirit, as an alignment of our process within the Golden Season.
& not only so, but we glory in tribulation also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
& patience, experience; & experience, hope: -Romans 5:3-4
The virtue of patience is that it builds perfected character in the one who learns from experience. In precept that we let patience have her perfect work, that we be perfect & entirely in want of nothing.
Freeform Blogging, as a basis of ministry, is great way to document your entire experience, but also establish the vision of your own objective goals, & what it is that you can contribute as a result of these things. Like the Affiliate-members, Freeform Bloggers also earn a commission in the provision process of assisting other members with the workshop. But again, this isn't so much of a competition as it is a collective effort asking each of us, what is your contribution toward the wellness of the body? & as an objective, helping members to establish these "gifts" as supplication for the further development of their workshop experience!
By whom also we have access by faith into this grace where-in we stand, & rejoice in hope of the glory of God. -Romans 5:2
In this same way, I can say that it took patience for me to learn retention. In that this as a discipline is what gave way to self-mastery, & a new character with-in me.
In the same way that perfected love conquers fear, I can see that it takes patience to build that perfected character of love.
Be of good courage, & he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD. -psalm 27:13
