The Trial: The Content of Character

  • "There will come a day, when a man is not judged by the color of his skin; but by the content of his character."

    "All darkness; conflict; confusion and evil will be faded into light, like waking from a bad dream, because men will look in the eyes of each other, and see their brother."

    "humanity's separateness is an optical illusion of consciousness, like light-refractions though a shatter teloscope; looking down and seeing pieces of One." I

     

    Have you ever notice how affirmations like these, speak to that place inside of us that our minds can only name, "a feeling".

    Many believe that place is our core identity; our soul; our true-self divine pure and holy, which is forever reaching up to it's home, (some demension beyond the visible stars). 

    I used to believe it was my soul being touched but, I stoppped trying to call the feeling something and started trying to listen to the feeling.

    And it's kind of like listening for God's voice, instead of me preaching,

    "Hey!!! Everybody!! I've heard from God, everybody!!..yeah, I did!!" (Smiling now)

    If any body ever came to me and said, "hey Charles, Charles my friend, my man, my brother, I've heard a message from God, Charles, I did."

     

    I'm gonna have to tell 'em flat-out, "So what, who hasn't?!"

    I mean com'on, God's been talking every since He said, ((((((((("Let There Be Light!))))))), right?

    He's been creating and guiding and feeding, and saving life and things in the cosmos for a while now so uhm, that means he's pretty much been talking to everybody, and everything...

    and everywhere if you really get to thinking about it.

    I mean, God's been speaking creation and re-creation non-stop for 24/7/365, all the time...

    so the real fly in the ointment about the voice of God is not, "do people really hear God talking?"

    It's just that not every body is listeningn for God's voice, right?

    Some of us still hear the fading whispers of what's been called, "those phalanx phantoms of Getsemene", which are just the childhood "meanies" of our past, and we never really learned how to listen.

    Never learned how to listen for God's voice, is what I mean.

    That's the only justifiable reason for our sin if you could consider it.

    I mean imagine it like this...

    God, our so called, "Judge", calls us before our court date and says,

     

    "I'm glad you're here, Please listen for me, please...

    I'm not willing to take you to trial so, I'm just not going to do that.

    Now, I'm going to offer you a deal; that way you can keep your free will, and also lose your fears and hatred towards my children."

     

    Now, if that's God offering me a deal, okay?

    And I know God knows me, inside-out; up-side down; good bad and ugly, right?

     

    I'm not going to pretend to know what your response to this offer should. would or could be, and I'm not gonna try to write something witty or, touching either.

    But I am gonna let you know what my definite response would be to God's offer.

    See, I know me very well which means I know the regrets I have okay?

    And  that's one of those offers that I just wouldn't, couldn't and definitely shouldn't refuse.

     It may be the only offer I'd never refuse. ("maybe" my foot!!)

    But after taking that perfect deal, I would ask God,

    "I know you know how I feel about some of your children so, why would you offer me a way out of judgment for that?"

     

    And I really think God would say something like,

    ((("Because you too, are my child. ")))

    Now (((((((Go!!!)))))) (Smiling again) 

    (((And Love your brother, love your sister, love you neighbor, because they are your family

    and my children.")))

    I believe God's offer is a special plan and design that aches to end our trials, our tests our struggles.

    And that plan does not want our woes to end in death (though, many believe that is our fate).

    But we are to live knowing our family in life, so that we can enjoy a promised peace, while we still live;

    Well now, that's what I desire, "God Be Willing", I don't know about you.

    We're going to hear the clearest words of peace, on earth and goodwill towards men, before we see our brother, in the eyes of our enemy.

    It'll only come by hearing...

    We're approaching the gift of yet another holiday (HolyDay) season to remember the blessed hope of Jesus, which is that we strive for our brother's peace, through forgiveness, as the redeemed children of God, Who Is The Creator of all that is, and our Father.

     

    I pray the grace of One God, Our Father, fill our heart and mind

    with Love, Peace, and The Joy of Divine Unity.

    Glory Alleluia, Elohim, Amen

     

     

    Well Journeys
