And so? We read in the ancient Scriptures how the donkey spoke to Prophet Balaam. We read great scholars inspired quotes. We read these lines I now pen, and? We overjoy!
Dear Thia. Read your post. You are on eagle’s wings and I am overjoyed!
So What? What Is That To You To Me? Is The Question …?
Yes! We are suckers for compliments. Me? No exemption, but now? Sucker no longer.
I’m Speechless Unless?
That lovely voice crying in the wilderness touches my hand to speak up.
Indeed! Our reactions, responses to all events under and below and on top of this earth that we inhabit? Exactly as before. Nothing new, cries that voice, but!
Soon, That Voice? Will Rent Us All Speechless And Wisdom Will Set In Us Forever!
That’s the purpose in the crying of that lovely voice in the wilderness. Let’s perk up and shut up!
Let’s! Let’s! Let’s?
O well! I’m speechless. Devoid of let’s of any kind. That lovely voice? Done accomplished her purpose in me.
Silence. A Day/Night Of Weeping But! …
Saturday, January 5, 2019 now at 1:00 pm.
Aloof and depressed despite sun shining on me. I know You are right here with me. I know You have let the sun shine over this place at my request to do so. It was supposed to snow today but instead we have sunshine.
With all of that evidence of Your Presence? I remain aloof from it all. What’s wrong with me, my Father? I guess that’s just a dumb question, but! I can’t shake off this aloofness feeling. Help me, my Father.
You alone are the One to care for me. To understand me. To deliver me from my own depressing moods. The ups and the dawns continue. Just when You tell me I am now steady? Up pops a down mood for no reason at all.
The sun is shinning right here on me while I sit at my desk writing, but! I am still cold and uncomfortable. Is this the way to be for me for all my days on this world that You so love?
Be this Your will for me? Let it be. Not my will but Your will be done always. No matter how my body feels? All is well with my soul. Your Presence remains. You never leave nor forsake me. I worship You.
Weeping Comes By Night But Dancing The Next Morning …?
Sunday, January 6, 2019 at 1:59 pm.
After my day and night of weeping yesterday, this morning? It came to me to post all written yesterday under a different headline. So I did. When finish posting? Still in a mood, listening to the wind making havoc outside.
Inside the apartment? Colder than ever. I tried to call Ahmad but no answer. That didn’t help my mood, so I prepared to go to bed. Suddenly! A knock on my door. I jumped to answer it. Wow! Ahmad stepped inside to my delight. Mood? Gone!
O My Father! How Mysterious Are Your Ways …?
You knew all along why I was in such mood. You gave sunshine. You gave me power to do my chores. I could even sense the smell of Your Presence, but! The bad mood persisted through the night, and?
I could not understand what or why I was in such mood, until this morning when Ahmad came in to my utter surprise, why the mood? Because Ahmad told me yesterday he was not coming to spend the day with me as promised. He was to come at night.
I had wanted to understand Ahmad’s working situation to no avail. But I didn’t realized how much Ahmad’s broken promises affected my mood.
So? How Did You, My Father Fixed That Situation Just To Lift Me Up …?
O My Father—O Father Of Mine? You see my clean heart. You know how much I want to be complete in You. You know how much I want to let be of another people’s business. How much I want to be content without demanding anything from others.
You know me better than I know myself, and You have cleansed my heart from all those things that were displeasing to You and to others about myself.
Now? You Are Giving Me The Desires In My Heart …?
Wow! O my Father! Not only my mood is gone, but! I feel like Willy Wonka in the Chocolate Factory again. And the best part? I know that this is the way I shall feel from now on. Yes! That is Your will for me.
Let me See What’s In Ecclesiastes Chapter 4 to connect Chapter with Chapter 3 …
I can’t hardly believe it! This chapter couldn’t be more appropriate to what I went through yesterday.
Now I understand more than ever before Your mysterious ways to talk and to deal with us.
Light Has Shine On My Dark Mind …?
Yesterday? The darkness of my mind was covering the meaning of Chapter 4 and? I was not able to make the connection with Part 4 on Chapter 3.
Now? Wow! The light has shined in the darkness of my mind. I see now how Chapter 4 connects perfectly in my life, quote:
Two are better than one, because they have a good [more satisfying] reward for their labor; For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow.
That Lovely Voice Crying In The Wilderness Continues …?
So? That was the purpose for my last lousy mood of yesterday, and? Now? That lovely voice continues to cry in the wilderness of the multitude to connect all things. Wow!
Evil Under The Sun Cries That Lovely Voice…?
-
THEN I returned and considered all the oppressions that are practiced under the sun: And I beheld the tears of the oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of their oppressors was power, but they [too] had no comforter.
-
So I praised and thought more fortunate those who have been long dead than the living, who are still alive. But better than them both [I thought] is he who has not yet been born, who has not seen the evil deeds that are done under the sun.
-
Then I saw that all painful effort in labor and all skill in work comes from man’s rivalry with his neighbor.
-
This is also vanity, a vain striving after the wind and a feeding on it.
-
The fool folds his hands together and eats his own flesh [destroying himself by indolence].
-
Better is a handful with quietness than both hands full with painful effort, a vain striving after the wind and a feeding on it.
-
Then I returned, and I saw vanity under the sun [in one of its peculiar forms].
-
Here is one alone–no one with him; he neither has child nor brother. Yet there is no end to all his labor, neither is his eye satisfied with riches, neither does he ask, For whom do I labor and deprive myself of good? This is also vanity (emptiness, falsity, and futility); yes, it is a painful effort and an unhappy business. [Pro 27:20; 1Jn 2:16]
-
Two are better than one, because they have a good [more satisfying] reward for their labor; For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow.
-
But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up! Again, if two lie down together, then they have warmth; but how can one be warm alone?
-
And though a man might prevail against him who is alone, two will withstand him. A threefold cord is not quickly broken.
-
Better is a poor and wise youth than an old and foolish king who no longer knows how to receive counsel (friendly reproof and warning)– Even though [the youth] comes out of prison to reign, while the other, born a king, becomes needy.
-
I saw all the living who walk under the sun with the youth who was to stand up in the king’s stead. There was no end to all the people; he was over all of them. Yet those who come later will not rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity (emptiness, falsity, vainglory) and a striving after the wind and a feeding on it. Ecclesiastes 4:1-16. End of quote.
Conclusion?
End of quote and end to my fastidious moods! All is well with my soul, and? Letting go of your soul! Hahaha! HalleluYah! Intense love for all, thiaBasilia 🙂
