the seed falls into the ground,
dies as the new shoot springs up.
there must be a splitting and a breaking
in order for a bud to form.
the bud 'lets go' when the flower forms.
the calyx lets go of the flower.
the petals must curl up and die
in order for the fruit to form.
the fruit falls, splits, relinquishes the seed.
the seed falls into the ground.
it is a process of letting go.
the fall of an acorn so as to achieve an oak tree.
- Passion and Purity by Elizabeth Elliot
i don't see the point in
putting more time and effort
into something i don't particularly enjoy
when i already have a system
that ensures max benefit in min time
leaving the rest of the time for more profitable activities
perhaps it is something to be ashamed about
sluggard?taking the easy way out?
something i'm expected to be able to do?
still, i see no point.
unto whomsoever much is given,
of him shall be much required.
why compare why despise why ridicule
why laugh and gloat at your ability
thank u for your quiet support and encouragement
And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
where exactly are we heading with more gatherings?
