A most dangerous context

1/5/2015

The beauty about our condition is the gift of knowing we know ourselves better than anyone.  We can be persuaded into believing we are perfect  if we allow it. The most dangerous infraction though is in the knowing we are deeply flawed but existing in a cloak of denial. More damaging still is our stubborn persistence in trying to convince others otherwise. What a waste of our gift of time. Like a hamster on its wheel, we keep spinning, knowing all well, change will only come if we dare to jump off and make a change within. All around us we can see the damage we have caused our surroundings. We try to carve out clean spaces in order to go on pretending in cramped spaces of normalcy. We shove our messes to the background even with its splatter clearly written on the surrounding walls. But our power comes in our ignorance and in the silence and tolerance of those who purport to love us unconditionally. This false claim we are willing to accept, though not so deeply inside we know better. Our worst enemy is our inner falsehood. Like leeches we feed on the goodness of others so we look good, feel normal. We stop trying to lead from a good place. We slumber in mediocracy.  We are given so many opportunities to do right. Chances we conjure up to correct our wrongs go non manifest. We are born perfect. We choose sin.  Likely we have given up on the right side of us, crooked seems more alluring or perhaps easy.  The angel on our shoulder must cry a river of tears watching us up close make such a colossal mess of our spirit. Why our angel asks? Is this all there is of this person I am cheering so loudly for? Hell is not a place for this child of God. Why then do they reject the righteous path for their one and only life? Why? So much borrowed time wasted. What a waste of other people's time too even as we use the words "I love you."

 Is it because they have chosen a wrongful context? A dangerous context whose bottom is not bedded with the principles of honesty, integrity, shared values, transparency, humbleness, uncompromised ethics and principality.  A context that should lead with love, refusal to harm, protection, security, intimacy, caring, peace of mind, truth, and stately convictions. Instead we take shelter under the skirted decency of others, gleaming from their goodness and patience. Blinded to the resentment our actions have caused.  

 We choose phony. We choose sneaky. We choose deception. We choose unhealthy dark places with little light. We placate our weakness within ever self-adjusting to our new normal. We won't stand strong unyielding to the temptation behind the next fix. We are addicted to sin and yet convince ourselves we are not. We visit places and participate in conversations where we would not invite GOD. Yet we sleep soundly, or do we? And if we don't, then why don't we awake to a new beginning? What is more important than those we live for? What out there draws us into a pit of destruction. Is it weakness? Or is it who we really are, we just have not owned it out loud quite yet. Instead we will wait to be outed through karma.  Shown for who we really are in the light.

Perhaps our healing will be served by circumstances we did not invite but have no choice but to address. Our final dignity and respect will depend on an open confrontation. Our context it appears may come calling at the most inopportune time. How we choose to embrace it is yet to be seen. Only the borrowed time we have left will tell.

These words aren't meant to harm but meant to begin in your healing.

James 1:22-25                     But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror. For he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like. But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing.
