As the Holy Spirit calls your name, pack your suitcase with faith.

As the Holy Spirit calls your name, pack your suitcase with only faith.

The morning sun gives hope for the day; evening brings shadows of hidden evils.  But a disciple of Christ going about on his assigned trek carries the sunshine as his guide and protection from the shadows of evil. 

How often a person without any faith in God will always shrink from a darkened shadow that seems to move with every wrong emotion that enters his mind?  

If anyone wants to find the pathway to God, it isn’t by agreeing to know his name but to be able to savor the divine essence without questions, formulae, or a PHd.  I have written lately regarding the deeper understanding I have found for myself by a personal entrance into His Being that means so much more than books, records, or melodies of music beyond my understanding.  These attributes that are fodder for most people seeking his presence are great for them; I applaud their efforts and encourage the blessings they receive.

My relationship with my Lord that is not purchased, sacrificed for, or sought as recompense;  It is real with me and has been at the center of my soul without any outside influence longer than I might try to imagine.  I don’t want to imply that all attempt this same expression since it isn’t a subject for competition in scholarship activity.

It will find you once the attraction is not human oriented or seeking a level of intelligence that has risen above the finite mind.  One to allow himself to be overtaken beyond simplicity or supposition is to be ready to avoid what is not spiritual beyond the ownership of an eternal God is what might await your patient desire to know what you cannot know; understand what is not understandable, and dwell within a dwelling that is not; but is within God.
