...He was oppressed, and he was afflicted,
yet he opened not his mouth;
yet he opened not his mouth;
like a lamb that is led to the slaughter,
and like a sheep that before
its shearers is silent,
so he opened not his mouth...
Isaiah 53 & Acts 8:31
But what’s in the Box?
~Pain~
His Sacrifice for our Comfort
Without Him, we can only handle so much.
Beyond the limits of our perception
and stretched beyond our fragile reason
Where the Rubber meets the Road
we exercise by Grace through Faith
He walks, We waltz from Real to Real
Therein the realm of stuff intangible
By Faith we Breathe that Mercy and Grace
and Justice Abound to Strength and Love
~above all these things by Merciful Love,
that which is not of the Box itself but of His Substance
Holy Spirit Led , Holy Spirit Fed
He gave of himself that we may find Comfort in Him
The Bread of Life
One of the things that parents must teach their children if they want them to live a fulfilling life, is how to deal with time. How to handle turmoil and how to endure the stress of life.
Life in the flesh, with no instruction leads us to seek comfort in whatever we can to escape the sting of it. We become forgetful in our separation from our purpose, we become depressed in our exile from God, and we seek to find meaning in the entertainments around us. This leads to forgetfulness, and forgetfulness of the Theater of life, leads to blindness, and perpetuates the Lie.
The Lie reduces the definition of Life to that which is observable, and that which is attainable within the parameters of our perceptions. Some recognize the nature of Spirit, and when we confront ourselves and line up with that which we ought, we meet His, the spirit of Perfection, and if we accept our limits, we find ourselves enabled to operate in Faith beyond the limitations of our abilities , both real and imagined.
The Son of God came that we might have the help of His Comfort to walk a life of Righteousness in the Box of time and with his spirit become a manifestation of His image among the living. He came to enable us, not to cripple us further. He came to grow us up, for we could never do it on our own. He came to clothe us in his pure white wool of perfection , where we are naked and cold.
He offers His Comforter to us, so that we may be of comfort to others towards the nurturing of Righteous instinct. It takes a Gentleness, Love, Patience and Endurance to raise the same.
If we set the anchor of our spirits in him, we find ourselves equipped to serve and balance the equations around us, dispensing Justice and Mercy and Righteousness. where there is none.
Animal instinct would have us distract ourselves and take comfort by whatever props are within our grasp. We seek to gain self satisfaction from our roles, and soon find ourselves the villains. This instinct brings about our obliteration and our fall into a deeper sinful nature is as a result of fear, that life may not be a stage.
Let us ground ourselves in the truth of it, and see past the illusion. Let us ground ourselves in the Eternal Firstly... and from there enter the stage of Time to do the Work in the Land of the Living. It is all a Test, towards the Maturation of the Soul in union with The Lamb
And that we might ask and receive of his spirit Grace and Gifts to operate in all things by Prayer and Exercise Faith - for His names sake - realizing where we are, and who we are in Christ.
We must recognize the voice of the Shepard, and flee the voice of the hireling .
The infliction of pain, if the shearing is borne of love it is towards the encouragement of new growth.
How do we regard our (s)Hearer(s)?
Lambs have no choice. Trembling and naked, they are at the mercy of their handlers. Yet we can conceive of righteousness and justice and tenderness. In this day and age so many choose blindness and this hardens the heart of the lambs. I wonder, if the wool becomes course and dense as a result of repeated mishandling? In this day and age, the sheep romanticize the shearers and seek to become like them. This is the corruption. The truth is, it takes tenderness and a gentle hand to raise a gentle hand, and the pursuit of Happiness and Joy is not an earthly but rather a spiritual walk with The Father: He who pets and lovingly cares for the sheep.
To be - heard - is what we all hope for ; that some be motivated to occupying the virtuous roles, and that it become them: Righteousness Truth, Mercy and Justice. But for each snip that feeds and fattens the hired hand, the sword of words cut down the gentle and rises a tower of pain to cast shadows in all directions. Trauma leads to Doubt leads to Fear, which leads to
the death of innocence.
There is justice . It is a point in time. Actions are stored up towards a manifestation of that coming brilliance : the fire of His Wrath. So let us choose our roles carefully, and not bemoan a sheep for being a sheep. After all, sheep give of themselves to clothe our nakedness.
The lamb himself who gave of himself that we may be robed in him. before the Fathers gaze
He Out-poured of His Spirit in answer for the Silence of the Lambs .
As for the Boxx.. He is the most selflessly invested,

Have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir,
Three bags full...

Isaiah 53
He was oppressed, and he was afflicted,
yet he opened not his mouth;
like a lamb that is led to the slaughter,
and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent,
so he opened not his mouth.
8 By oppression and judgment he was taken away;
and as for his generation, who considered
that he was cut off out of the land of the living,
stricken for the transgression of my people?
9 And they made his grave with the wicked
and with a rich man in his death,
although he had done no violence,
and there was no deceit in his mouth.

10 Yet it was the will of the Lord to crush him;
he has put him to grief;
when his soul makes an offering for guilt,
he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days;
the will of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.
11 Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see and be satisfied;
by his knowledge shall the righteous one, my servant,
make many to be accounted righteous,
and he shall bear their iniquities.
12 Therefore I will divide him a portion with the many,
and he shall divide the spoil with the strong,
because he poured out his soul to death
and was numbered with the transgressors;
yet he bore the sin of many,
and makes intercession for the transgressors.

He died to offer of his Coat of many colors.. to us.
Why don't we wear it more often?
