These Repeating Patterns of Life
are like a fingerprint of God.
They show up everywhere.
We return from whence we came, dust.
See Genesis
We were created by God,
and we return to Him for judgment.
We begin weak as a babe,
and if we live to old age,
not cut down by a sword or pestilence
most experience again feebleness and need for help.
We experience a lesson,
and we experience testing of the lesson.
Some go in circles
round about the same mountain
of a lesson waiting to be learned.
Some never learn.
Others learn and go to the next.
His yoke is comfortable if we are willing. His burden is light.
The burden He gives us is easy
What does the Lord require of thee, o man?
To do good, love mercy, and walk humbly with Him.
To make the uncomfortable journey to see your love?
To study for the excellent grade you want?
To train for the physical ability you want?
The sluggard desires and has nothing.
The diligent takes steps one by one toward the goal.
Consider an ever widening spiral.
Let go up and outwards to the sides.
In such a pattern we learn lessons of love,
righteousness, mercy, and humbility
through faith towards God.
Similar to the layers of a pearl are our experienced lessons of life.
Read James about the testing of your faith.
Write to ask for more on this theme. I have pictures, drawings, and pages in a notebook which are not on the internet.
