Not perfect

I love judgment
The judgment that does not flatter
The well timed criticism that respects me but does not silence me
Because I will fail
In fact failing is not an option or a right
Failing exposes my vulnerabilities
And when I am vulnerable I am malleable
And when I tear I can be knit stronger
So I will be judged in my failure by the quiet voice, the honest voice
Flint eyed friend
Risen again

Written on the heart

So many opinions: on african empire history, suggested quasi-christian background for Israel's near political history, the horror of interreligious war, the horror of anti-religious war, the ignorance of western tolerance and the damnation of false ministers of grace.

Greed, avarice and apathy.. will always be?

Being chosen to be a recipient of love and a true partaker and distributer.. that is spirituality that God is pleased with.

Surely we know what judgement is and what it will be. Surely the way things are, falsity spared, WILL to be laid plain by perfect affections.

Let blood cry out as it has always to the one who can read innocense.

Quiet without opinion; without spurious fury.

Should I bid a thank you for words and knowledge? Or no? Love can do either without ambiguity.

My point, to lose the lust for contention, the desire for status. For desires are pure for those that are childlike in their lack of status-seeking, for those who take a natural pleasure in obedience out of love born of natural bonds.

To know or not to know, and what to not know, and what to know.. There is no question - love is a person.

Kurelek?

http://www.studiobrien.com/writings_on_culture/the-passion-of-william-kurelek.html Never watched passion of the Christ, but Is this the artist through whom much inspiration was formed? If so, makes me interested to watch. I never enjoyed the portrayal of Satan in the first bit of the movie.. So turned it off :I . Really couldn't be bothered! If you get that bit mixed up, you are, I think, weaker and more likely to condemn without warrant what is only human. And trivialise or dismiss what is everlasting evil.

I can say dinosaur

Hong long - dinosaur. Fah - flower. Two very important words. They start my journey in learning language in the classroom. Chinese, Cantonese, Tagalog, Whatever you throw at me. Give me a pencil and a room full of kids and I'll learn. Plus I get to give out customised cartoons and sketches. Princesses of varying nationalities, dinosaurs with specific colour themes, sharks and... Language is fantastic fun!

empathy

Rediscovering empathy - the abuse of one's self is not to be emulated and it can be the biggest temptation strangely.. moving away from it is party to holiness, for we are holy unto God

empathy is the gift of knowing place and sharing it. when I receive awareness of God's love, it is a very connected place, there is no dualism. there is a wholeness. it rescues from self abuse, by its very nature it prevents abuse.

empathy
when I recieve the gift of knowing place and sharing it, I am comfortable with life as a gift. not my work, not my rational constructs or viewing the physical as purely an overlay can give me place alone. empathy, once truly lost, can only be restored fully by the gift of the Holy Spirit, by the gift of grace.

what are the lies that keep us from forgiveness? where are the truths that guide our hearts to Christ? what is perfect? as the waters cover the sea, may his glory cover me.

How do we judge except through God's love. Judging all things, whilst contented to rest in God's. In such a way we reverse the slant of sin that emphasises what we can't do when we obey God and diminishes the freedom found in the choice to obey. We counter the slight on God's goodness when we accept a final judgment in which we are free to judge evil spirits as we so miserably failed to start with, separating for eternity that which is vile; and in humanity bringing our judgment of others unto God, in light of Christ. Our judgment will be instrumental when it is fit through Christ. What punishment and death looks like for those without him will not seem wrong (as in, the rich man did not complain!!) it will make sure sense and fit with every rhythm of creation.

Spiritual things will be love as God is love.

Freedom to love God is irreducible. What we view as threats of punitive judgment at the tree of knowledge of good and evil, is rather, the more knowledgeable power sharing correct information 
of the nature and consequence of realigning our allegiance away from a God of trust to gaining knowledge at the behest of a status seeking power. 

Freedom is turned upside down: becoming relationless, maintaining a false sense of human eternity, and a chain to status seeking power.

We will pay for sin, evil spirits will be sent to their final abyss and Christ in creation will be received.


Judge (shah-faht) realigning my understanding

Judges 2:18 bible commentary quote (New Spirit Filled Life)

'derived from strong's #8199. One who judges, governs, passes down judgment, pronounces sentence and decides matters. The root is shaphat, to "judge", "decide," and "pronounce sentence." In English, both "to judge" and "judgment" have negative association, but not so in Hebrew. Judgment is the balance, ethic, and wisdom, which, if present in a ruler's mind, enables him to govern equitably and to keep the land free from injustice. Judgment, when used by God, is that divine faculty whereby He runs the universe righteously, handing down decisions that will maintain or bring about a right state of affairs. Abraham described God a the Judge of the Whole Earth (Gen. 18:25).In the Book of Judge, God raised up human judges (shophtim) who governed Israel, executed justice, and handed down decisions.'
