Greater Love.

I once wrote a poem called “Reel life” about the kind of love that is portrayed on the big screen, that thrives solely on chemistry. The chiseled guy, who sizzles and fizzles, the scene ending with the lovers kissing in the drizzling rain and then the caption – THE END… But it’s not really the end is it? It’s actually the beginning. The beginning of a journey initiated by a decision – TO LOVE.

One day while having a conversation with my friend who has been married for over thirty years, I listened to him in amazement as he asked me speak to his wife because they had grown apart, and were struggling in their marriage. STRUGGLING?! I knew these people! I had seen them both up close and personal, and I felt that they had a good thing going on all around, but there we were that day… They loved each other that I was sure of, but still I knew from his demeanor that this was a break or make point for them… What did one say in a situation like that?

I turned to my friend and I said (I, the yet to be married one): “you know something I’ve come to realize? Love is not something one feels, it’s a decision one makes, determining not to give oneself an

Now Faith is...

Faith is a seed planted by God in our hearts. It is, however, only the yielded and fertile heart that can nurture that which has been deposited by faith, unto fruition. Now, what is that which enables the nurturing of that deposit? It is the Word of God (much like the water that was poured into the waterpots at Cana of Galilee poured out to create the right environment for the spoken seed of The Word to be fertilized and germinated; Planted and embedded, go through growth, maturation, harvesting, processing and refinement to result in the finished product. Much like the miracle wine produced at Cana, this process seemingly occurs in a split-second of time. This time observed phenomenon is amazingly quite a correct surmise. Because God IS able to split Chronos time, and morph it in whichever way suits the predetermined purpose, for the fulfillment of Kairos events from out-of-time into time. So what is Faith? It is the intangible, yet present substance of that which is hoped for ( Hope being the focused anticipation of the good yet to come). It is the perceptible evidence of the things not yet seen, translated from the future, based on the foundations laid in the past, into the indefinable present moments called NOW moments. Siphoned through Kairos portals the Power of God by The Spirit infuses eternal based, purpose driven fulfillment of events into time NOW! Without breaking the cadence of the march of time. That which though commonly referred to as a miracle is far from common! It is the Power of God manifested to establish His eternal will and purpose.
Now Faith is... Whatever your 'IT' is, align yourself with this eternal God. Then, Wait for 'IT', hope for 'IT' and 'IT' without a doubt will come...
NOW!
