My Desire

Early morning thought: my desire is a symbiotic partnership between my Spiritual and physical self. Is this perhaps what is meant when it is said….”in that day, the lamb will lay with the lion,” that there will be no more war or struggle, fighting and hatred; that it begins with little ‘ole me?

Isaiah 11:6 The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and the lion and the yearling ^[a] together; and a little child will lead them.

As I read the whole of that line of verse, another came to mind, the one that tells us that unless we become as little children we ain’t gonna be able to enter the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew 18:3 And he said: “I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

And still another verse that tells us that this kingdom isn’t something out there or some futuristic event or place, but that it is right here, right now and within each and everyone of us, that is the secrets, what it is all about. And why would that be given unto us? Because that knowledge, that understanding is for use in the here and now. If it was intended for some pie in the sky, futuristic journey or place, then there would no need to know now. I personally believe that I am given the knowledge and the understanding on a, “need to know,” basis; that I will have need of that knowledge and understanding for the present linear moment of time that I find myself within.

Matthew 13:11 He replied, “The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them.

So, back to the original thought that gave birth to what followed – and when I sat down to blog, I had no idea that this was the message that YHWH wanted me to hear – when we, you and I, are at peace with ourselves; that is the struggle between Spirit and flesh forms a symbiotic partnership, then we will be “pulling together” for the common good; and it will manifest that positive light upon the world, beginning a much needed process of healing. It starts within and radiates outward. How can I say “peace” to you and expect that it will happen, when I am at “war” with my self?
