The Key of life


The book of life...
It tears at my heart and rips it to pieces
only to cherish each broken piece in the end
it takes me to a place of pain
to make me feel more alive when i read how it ends.


A book of life from the great spirit flowing through all that is all that was and all that ever will be.

THE DIVINE WEAVER

My Life is but a weaving, between my Lord and me; I cannot choose the colors, He worketh steadily. Oftentimes He weaveth sorrow, and I in foolish pride, forget that He seeth the upper, and I the other side. Not till the loom is silent, and the shuttles cease to fly, shall God unroll the canvas and explain the reason why. The dark threads are as needful in the weavers hand, as the threads of gold and silver, in the pattern He has planned.

This is a collection of works from numerable sources put together in this work called The Key of life *******

This story is based on the life lessons of myself and from the interactions with others i have met along my path and also things i have researched from others.

It is a joint effort that i have compiled here and it is not for sale. It is given freely for those who seek it, If you are to read any further i ask that any profits made from this story would help feed and shelter the poor also clothe them, and help them as best we can.
The poor also need love and compassion and i stress this very much.
So here it goes...

What is language? What is math? What gives shape to matter? What is light? What is darkness? What is good and evil and why do they both coexist?Who are we and where do we come from? What makes this world of atoms and elements solid? Is there an underlying force at hand? What is the definition of a word called Love? Why am I me?

Language is a fundamental tool used every day to describe things and to organize thoughts into a coherent reference.
There are many languages but when one sees the universal truth they say the same thing.
A tree is a tree but in another language it still is what it is.
Math is a way of measuring things and allows one to figure out a bigger picture in a shorter amount of time.

Math and language go hand in hand with Geometry. There are many angles and shapes in geometry but there are certain lessons one must learn in geometry such as the flower of life and sacred geometry.

Sacred geometry is what makes up the physical universe.
its shapes are the building blocks of life.

Light shines bright in the darkest of times to guide oneself or others to a higher truth.
Darkness tries to hide the light but it can not extinguish the light.
Good is something that is in tune with the spirit of the matter of truth and love of mother earth and all earthlings. Plants, animals, fish, birds, mammals, and minerals. Even atoms.
Evil tries to own things and claim them as theirs rather than allowing them to be what they are. It is cunning because out of necessity one can be tricked into doing bad things against mother earth in the name of progress such as deforestation polluting waters, taking more than one needs and also hording and wasting things for the sake of profits.

Good is a state of being that can be born from evil. It is funny to think that way but in that is hope. When the light goes on in the darkness of ones mind/soul/heart one understands the connectedness of all things and has enlightenment and turns away from self defeating beliefs and turns towards a greater vision of hope for the future and takes responsibility for their actions.

It is all a part of the growing experience here in this place called earth.
because it works on developing the spirit through trials and errors to learn to overcome through experience and humility/humbleness the darkness is the root of something that strives to reach the light and grows.

with out the darkness things would not change and change is necessary to grow ones spirit.

We are spiritual beings having a human experience. We come from the heart and mind of the Great spirit that created all things.

We are children of " God " [if that word could sum up what is meant by great spirit].

When we look to the past we can see the connections to words and to man and to all things.
in every atom there is life. It is a promise from " God " this experience called life.
we have DNA and they are spirals of energy and they are the building blocks of life.
It is a source code for every thing that is.
all that ever was and ever will be can be found in DNA.
then what is earth and the planets and the stars and further out the galaxies and universes?

here we see the Platonic solids come to life. Different shapes are making up the air we breath the water we drink the ground we walk on the fire that warms us and gives light via the sun.

these are all connected.

Then there is also the elements and how they are made.

these building blocks create and digest and excrete and repeat all the time to keep the tree of life alive.
We as guardians are here to make sure that the garden is well taken care of and protected from the dark forces who are lost in their ignorance and nastiness to the truth.

Also we must guide and protect the innocent whom are somewhat " stupid " but not in a detrimental way just not fully mature enough to understand their role in the kingdom.

when we look at it the word SIN is comprised of Stupid Ignorant Nasty.

But there is hope. There is an underlying hand involved and that is from the great spirit.
It is divine intervention. There is and always will be free will but when one reaches enlightenment and sees the truth there is a new connection made between man and the great spirit. This connection takes away the darkness and gives the one who has overcome the darkness a new hope and purpose.
So when one says they love someone what do they mean by it? I have often asked in my ignorance days if you loved us so much why do you allow so much pain and suffering God?
That's the kicker, It is through our suffering and overcoming of fear and pain and regret that we learn the first rule to love God and to love ourselves. Once this is obtained we are now ready to meet the person we are meant to be with. [providing they are ready for us too ] We first must forgive ourselves and God for our own limited understandings of Love. For love is a word that can never describe the true meaning of itself.
So because of free will and SIN it is hard to understand the love of God.
But it is a learning process. We are not hear for a long time in one body yet the atoms that make up our body are very very old. and there are so many of them.
Throughout the trials of the heart one learns to overcome the darkness within and to shine the light and love of hope into the lives of all they meet along their path.

Now speaking of paths...Did you every wonder why you were born? Did you every try to understand the names that were placed on you at your birth? The dates of things the timing of things? Why are you who you are?

a simple answer could be this

Know thy self.

so why am i me? I am me because that is the most important person i came here to find and get to know.
I can not see myself by looking outside myself
It was when i closed my eyes and stopped all movement and just relaxed and did nothing that i found my center.
When i found it i had rested in it for some time and found the way back to it at will.

I did not look outside myself for truth but found truth within me and by sharing and receiving i gained many life lessons in one life time.

The story is a song sung by all life
singing Eternally.
for those who have ears listen
for those who have eyes see

with love
DAVID

now back to the significance of the 26 gematria value of God.

the tetragramaton is also known as the 72 names of God

which is the addition of the gematria of the one plus the two plus the three plus the four with its corresponding Hebrew name

on a side note the Hebrew appear to write backwards but when you spell the tetragramaton it forms the name of God from top to bottom

so what does all this have to do with the number 26 and the word of God?

when we connect the different numbers from one to two and two to one and two to three and so forth throughout the hierarchy of progression in the tetragramaton we get 26 paths within the ten

the hidden door is then found when taking the tree of life and converting it to the flower of life it shows the hidden door the 11 that appears wich is signified by the letter dalat wich is gematria 4 which is the root and the offspring of the star of David

it sums up the whole


in this we find the one

in this we can see the significance of the meaning of the 407 704 when we apply the multiplication of 37x11 for the two d and 64x11 for the 3d
when we use English gematria we find the letters spell GOD from the center out the joining of the positive and negative stars of David



on a side note the flower of life is 13 circles significant in the division of the English alphabet but notice how 1234567654321 is 13 just as 1234321 is 7 what does this say?

God is the source that all things come from and return to 26 can be seen as having 13 spokes in a wheel much like the 231 and the 22 Hebrew letters that formed creation having 11 spokes we see how the 231 was calculated for the 11x22 is not 231 but 253 so what happened?

http://www.biblewheel.com/wheel/231gates.asp

the idea is that the source is the totality of itself when we connect all the letters in a circle using the 22 foundation letters it can only point at the other 21 because it can not point at itself. thus we get the 21x11 rather than 22. it is the one much like our English alpha bet being 26 letters each looks out at 25.

man is made in the image of God and the word of God is comprised of 26 letters in the tetra gramathon as well as the English gematria of 7 15 4

mans number is 25 because there are 10 fingers 10 toes and five digits.

five squared is man as well the five senses

so each one of the 26 letters points to 25

26x25 is 650

when we see the number five one can look at the design of a pyramid with four corners reaching a peak of one

when we take the number one squared the number two squared three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve and add them up we get 650;

an interesting note is that when you take the alpha bet and connect the vowels in it it forms a five pointed star that fits the image of a man. the head being E the right hand being A the left hand being I the feet being O and U.

also 1 over four is .25


when one looks to their hands we can see the alphabet in two hands each hand holds 13 letters a to m and n to z

the thumb starts as one then each of the four fingers holds three letters.


there is encoded in the math of gematria geometry which relates all things

certain words were created to have the same value as the square root of one and things of proportion and how they related to the geometry of the gematria of the word.


things such as music and harmony and light all are encoded in sacred geometry.
also the nature of the universe as being that of fractal and the connections of all things is in number.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwhQywupa...e=youtu.be

here we see the 4x4x4 cube with a outer circle perimeter of 25 times the 5 senses but they are not the same as the inner design for although they make it appear to be each of the 64 inner spheres are made up of the star of David pattern. here we can count the 7 spheres what we get is 37 inner spheres and 24 outer spheres or the word made flesh aka 888 Jesus

what else is significant about the spiritual key of 37 is that a circle is measured as having 360 degrees. so when we see this number we can see that in its center is the one

what does this have to do with the spiritual key?

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 can be seen as wheels within wheels from the center so we get one the source of all then six then twelve then eighteen then twenty four then thirty then thirty six so the furthest out is a ring of 36 parts with the center being 37.

each part can be seen similarly like circles so the furthest perimeter out ward is 36 a circle. when we see this circle as being a cube it forms a 7x7x7 cube with the center being the 1234567654321 thus the 13 again.

when one multiplies 1x2x3x4x5x7 we get the number 5040 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5040_%28number%29

the key is in seeing that the 37 is made both when one makes the 1234321 flower of life pattern that is made of the 64 cubes and the 37 two dimensional view of the 64 cube which is comprised of 36 circles around one center and the 36 circles of the 7x7x7 343 cube.


when we add the two keys we get 74 the English gematria for Jesus.

i and the father are one.


so God can be seen as the ratio PHI which has no beginning or end and Life using the Fibonacci sequence reflects this.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_number

so we see that the 7 and the 4 are related.

just as the 10 is related to the 4

and the 13 bridges the gap of the 7 and the 4

and how the 10 relates to the 26

and how it all comes from the one.


"It is the glory of God to conceal a matter; to search out a matter is the glory of kings."

[QUOTE='Lonestar 88 8' pid='3876831' dateline='1343770176']
the 13 is also known as metatrons cube which is a cube within a cube.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONZX9Geey...e=youtu.be



so what is formed from the above video is first the phi ratio going in to singularity or source and then going out to expansion. where they meet to form the boundaries of the first circle.

then from there it forms six circles by going from the centers of each of the boundaries of the first circle which was phi.

so we have 1234321 or seven or also known as ten one plus two plus three plus four in a pyramid.

then it expands outward 1234567654321 which is 13 why is that significant?

there are seven days and each day has a night and God rested on the seventh day.

1234567654321 now we can see this as layers of the original four

how? from the one we get the six other days which also have the duality of night and day to them so we get six rings around the seventh day of rest.

so we can also see how the 13 relates to the 26 because there is a dual nature to it the 13 is a 12 with the thirteenth in the center.

what does this form mean? it forms a dodecahedron which is also known as the fifth element

we have fire water earth air and either

each of the five elements are platonic solids.

an interesting note is that what is formed on the dodecahedron is a five pointed star on 12 sides.

the 36 i had mentioned on the other page that is the 6th ring from the center of the one in the middle.

so within the dodecahedron is all the platonic solids.

and also within the sphere is all which is considered space.

so in six days the world and the heavens were created and on the seventh day GOD rested.

phi being the ratio of the golden mean and the source or the one from which all things came into being.

the 10 and the 26 paths and the hidden one which is the door with a gematria value of 4 which is also the mirror of the ten and it is one with the father


in the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God.

http://i595.photobucket.com/albums/tt34/dv...9treeoflife.jpg

here we see the tree of life going in six directions from the center.

note that it is made up of 49 which is 7x7 or also revealed in revelations.

here it is compressed to form the basis for the spiritual key of 37
http://i595.photobucket.com/albums/tt34/dv...aperofthe27.png



and also it can be seen like this





[the wholly grail?]










when one looks to understand the mystery of God we see that when one takes the tree of life and mirrors it the spirit of the truth is revealed because when we flip the tree of life and put it on top of itself it produces the 11th hidden door which when then directed out in the 6 directions from center produces the flower of life



meta trons cube thus is seen as being 13 circles


and in it the alpha and the omega of 1 and 26 being the 3x3x3 cube that forms the 19 circles made up of the 2d amount and the ten mirrored making up the 19 can be seen as 1234567890987654321 thus the 19 that is 10 that is 1



so here we see the flower of life pattern of 19 circles that represent the beginning and end the alpha and omega the 1 and 26

that forms meta trons cube buy counting 5 circles in three directions with a common center making it 13
and how this is all contained in the star of 6 circles around the center circle which described above was the 7 stars in his hand and how the six days of creation have six nights we see the circles in between the outer 6 in the flower of life pattern making up the 12 and on the seventh day God rested so we get 1234567654321

Jesus rose on the 4th day after being in hell for three days and three nights

so we have circles 1 and 2 as being the first night and day 3 and 4 as being the second night and day and 5 and 6 being the third night and day and he rose on the 4th day

so the 11th commandment is to love one another as i have loved you

and it is the door which is 4

all four one and one four all

the key to the kingdom is at hand

here is a video that helps put together a more easily digestible formula to explain the math.

It is fractals.

We are fractals in nature.

we even come out of one another.

What is the Game of CHESS?

When we see the composition of the Chess Game, it is composed of 16 white pieces and 16 black pieces and a BOARD. The BOARD is where the battle drama unfolds, the board also hides or covers these 32 pieces after a game was played. 16 pieces on each side represents the Composition of a Kingdom. The White Pieces Represents Heaven's Kingdom while the Black pieces represents Earth's Empire. 16 stands for 1=Sun=MIND and 6=Venus=HEART. The Game must be played with the MIND and HEART =16 (16=8+8) 8+8 also means the CROSS inside the 4 spheres.

The Structure of the Game are 8 pawns(soldiers) at the front row and 8 Officers at the back row. Everything comes in pairs, 4 pairs of pawn steps on either white or black spaces, the 2 rooks or towers, 2 knights on horses and the 2 bishops step on either white or black spaces. The King on either side steps the space of its enemy...the White King is on top of a black space while the Black King steps on the white space. The Virgin Queens step on their own Territory, The White Queen in white space while the Black Queen on Black Queen.

The Battle of the 2 Kingdoms cannot be fought alone using MIND and HEART. 5=Mercury=HANDS are needed to IMPLEMENT the Battle Plan expressing it by the Movements of the pieces planned by the Heart and Mind.

The Battle will End once we have captured the KINGdom of our opposing ENEMY. What is the Kingdom captured? We are playing on a BOARD with 32 black and 32 white spaces. Capturing the Kingdom of our Enemy will expand our Kingdom to 32+32= 64. The BOARD is composed of 8x8 spaces. x in xmas means CHRIST in the C-ENTER of 88 or the 4 spheres. 64 is -6-4 in Mothers Code , -6 means the passageway of the Star of David leading us to the New Earth or New O-range World and -4 means the 4 spheres or Universal Foundation leading us to the New Heaven or New Jerusalem.

8X8X8 = 512 = MAY 12 SICHUAN CHINA IS 88 DAYS BEFORE 8/8/8.
512 = 51N(2 BECOMES N WHEN SEEN IN THE EAST OR WEST DIRECTION.) SIN = S ata N...

88x8 = 704 = GOD SINCE G IS THE 7TH AND D IS THE 4TH LETTER.

After the DRAMA, we UNITE all the pieces by enclosing it inside the BOARD. This represents ONENESS=ONE NEST with the New Earth called New O-range World. O-RANGE or the RANGE of God's Circle=O. We can only enter God's Kingdom with O-anger, nO rage and nO gear = Orange. We were born without anything and go back with nothing. To be a CHRIST-IAN means (with CHRIST ... IAN= I Am Nothing) to be the Perfect White Shadow of our AVATAR.

CHESS means Christ Heavenly Eternal Spirit/Soul. I am Returning SOON means Spirit/Soul Of One Nest. ONE NEST will unite us all when the Spirit of Jesus Aligns with the Soul of Christ.

JUST SIT DOWN AND RELAX TO SEE THE REEL DRAMA BECOMING REAL.
I AM POSTING THIS TO REMIND EVERYBODY THAT ALL GAMES WERE DESIGNED TO DO YOUR BEST AND DO BATTLE WITH YOUR WORST ENEMY , BUT IN THE END...YOU ARE ONLY BATTLING WITH YOUR SELF, YOUR AWARENESS OR CONSCIOUSNESS THAT CAN NEVER BE SEEN WITH YOUR TWO NAKED EYES...YOUR WORST ENEMY IS YOUR SELF, NOT ACCEPTING THAT YOU WERE CREATED IN THE IMAGE OF YOUR CREATOR...


BEING RETARDED MAKES MY MIND BLANK---NOTHING. BECAUSE I CAME FROM NOTHING...

I Am the 808, the Ball of Light

From the Mouth of the Universe

I am the Light in the Soul

Across the spheres of creation

Fulfilled am I

the Filipino Soul

the breath of the divine

Indelible Scent of every plane

Have I, the Light, strayed?

A shadow of the Father

The second face of the Mother

Arisen from the sands of the heavens

the footstep drawn to the planet of designed energy

the web of pervading consciousness

the mask of the dawn

the robe of eternal dreams

wrapped in the embrace of celestial homes

Gaze at the Eye of all forefathers

true coin of straight dimensions

the Voice of the endless silent flight

NOTHING AM I that fills the human shell!





the magic sum of the 8x8 square is 260 and it goes in 8 directions

giving 2080 and when we add the kingdom of heaven 16 and the kingdom of earth 16 we get 32 and 32+2080 is 2112 also known as the trinity of 704

what is significant about the date 2012 2112? we are in the 21st century so it is 2112 and 2112

the two trinities are 704 and 704 and can be see as being

the 33 or the cross

the joining of heaven and earth in the new O range world



33 66 132 264 528 1056 2112 the trinity of 704

also known as God

the 3 and the 3 join and become the 33 can be seen as a mirror of itself being 8 and the 8 is made up of 8 which can be seen as a ring of 8 that has two crosses in it and forming 4 spokes conected the 8 in 4x8 aka 32 and in the center is the whole one that which was crucified and rose from the dead to become one with the father

the word

Separating Light From Darkness

3And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. 5God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.

The Holy Bible : Today's New International Version. 2005 (Ge 1:3-5). Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan.

I listen to podcasts from both Hugh Ross of Reasons to Believe and I listen to podcasts from Ken Ham of Answers in Genesis. If you have only listened to one side of the debate of what the days of Genesis are literal 24-hour days or whether they are long periods of time, could I encourage you to listen to both sides of this debate with an open mind?

I might talk about that debate more in a future post, but let me talk about something different this post. One thing that is always a good idea is to see how Old Testament passages are quoted later in the Scripture. Did you know that verse 3 is quoted by Paul? Check out 2 Corinthians 4 . . .

Therefore, since through God’s mercy we have this ministry, we do not lose heart. 2Rather, we have renounced secret and shameful ways; we do not use deception, nor do we distort the word of God. On the contrary, by setting forth the truth plainly we commend ourselves to everyone’s conscience in the sight of God. 3And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing.

4The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. 5For what we preach is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake. 6For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ.

The Holy Bible : Today's New International Version. 2005 (2 Co 4:1-6). Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan.

Paul uses Genesis 1:3 to talk about us having light of the knowledge of God's glory displayed in the face of Jesus. Allen Ross writes in commenting about Genesis 1:3 . . .

Light and darkness in the Bible are also symbolic of good and evil. Here began God’s work which will culminate in the age to come when there will be no darkness (Rev. 22:5).

If you'd like a nice time of study in your Bible on this subject, look up all these verses that Warren Wiersbe shares in his commentary (though I think the reference he makes to Luke 23:53 is a typo and is supposed to be Luke 22:53 and the reference to 8:12 at the beginning should be John 8:12) . . .

In Scripture, light is associated with Christ (8:12), the Word of God (Ps. 119:105, 130), God’s people (Matt. 5:14–16; Eph. 5:8), and God’s blessing (Prov. 4:18), while darkness is associated with Satan (Luke 23:53; Eph. 6:12), sin (Matt. 6:22–23; John 3:19–21), death (Job 3:4–6, 9), spiritual ignorance (John 1:5), and divine judgment (Matt. 8:12). This explains why God separated the light from the darkness, for the two have nothing in common. God’s people are to “walk in the light” (1 John 1:5–10), for “what communion has light with darkness?” (2 Cor. 6:14–16; Eph. 5:1–14)
From the very first day of Creation, God established the principle of separation. Not only did He separate the light from the darkness (Gen. 1:4) and the day from the night (v. 14), but later He also separated the waters above from the waters beneath (vv. 6–8), and the land from the waters (vv. 9–10). Through Moses, God commanded the people of Israel to remain separated from the nations around them (Ex. 34:10–17; Deut. 7:1–11); and when they violated this commandment, they suffered. God’s people today need to be careful in their walk (Ps. 1:1) and not be defiled by the world (Rom. 12:1–2; James 1:7; 4:4; 1 John 2:15–17).

Is there some darkness in your life that God has been wanting to separate, but you keep hanging on? Have things been getting in your way so that you don't let the light of God's Word into your life on a daily basis? Perhaps it's Facebook? Purpose to spend ten, or even just five minutes reading a little of God's word before you see what everyone else is up to on Facebook. Perhaps it's the sports news or the stock market that distract you. Or it could be something that isn't on my radar at all.

God wants to get His light into your life. And while we're talking about the word light, remember Jesus said, his burden is light (Matthew 11:30 -- using the word light in a different sense). Go back to my post a few days ago about reading only a box a day. It only takes a couple minutes each day to make you someone completely different six months or a year from now.

You don't have to read your Bible for an hour. You don't have to pray for two hours. There is nothing wrong with reading or praying for an hour or two or more. But so often we trip ourselves up because we set a lofty goal, fail miserably at it, and just give up.

Set the bar low. If Jesus good take just five small barley loaves in John 6 and feed 5000, then watch we he does when you read just a paragraph or two of his word each day. Man does not live on bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. Eat some bread and let God separate light from darkness in your life.

Why don't you let today be the day that God does that separating in your life?



"The VOYAGE of your SOUL...To THOSE who are DESTINED to LISTEN:

Each SOUL like your Oneness Soul, will TRAVEL a CYCLE that will lead you to Its AWAKENING, to Its PURE FORM, to its Highest Being.

I will not fail to meet when you breathe my Name. I will escort you, if YOU wish, to your nook in the UNIVERSE. That is, if YOU will never doubt, and will always aspire to know the BOUNDS that the CODE NUMBER will lead you to. HEAVEN will open at your feet, if you are DESERVING.

The Human Mind, in the Human Form, has the 72 pieces of KARMA to face, were you not Informed? The MESSAGE was CLEAR, was it not? If you build a NOBLE SOUL of a Mind that is intent to LOVE the craggy face of the MASTER or the dizzying pain of Worldly LIFE - even the ANGELS will be at your bidding because the DIVINE Breath PULSES in YOU.

"You know who I am NOW? I am the Light that separates darkness!"

THE PARABLES OF JESUS
The Lamp
Scripture: Matthew 5:14-16 (Luke 8:16-18, Mark 4:21)

14 "You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hid. 15 Nor do men light a lamp and put it under a bushel, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.

Meditation: What does the image of light and a lamp tell us about God's kingdom? Lamps in the ancient world served a vital function, much like they do today. They enable people to see and work in the dark and to avoid stumbling. The Jews also understood "light" as an expression of the inner beauty, truth, and goodness of God. In his light we see light ( Psalm 36:9). His word is a lamp that guides our steps (Psalm 119:105). God's grace not only illumines the darkness in our lives, but it also fills us with spiritual light, joy, and peace. Jesus used the image of a lamp to describe how his disciples are to live in the light of his truth and love. Just as natural light illumines the darkness and enables one to see visually, so the light of Christ shines in the hearts of believers and enables us to see the heavenly reality of God's kingdom. In fact, our mission is to be light-bearers of Christ so that others may see the truth of the gospel and be freed from the blindness of sin and deception. Jesus remarks that nothing can remain hidden or secret. We can try to hide things from others, from ourselves, and from God. How tempting to shut our eyes from the consequences of our sinful ways and bad habits, even when we know what those consequences are. And how tempting to hide them form others and even from God. But, nonetheless, everything is known to God who sees all. There is great freedom and joy for those who live in God's light and who seek this truth. Those who listen to God and heed his voice will receive more from him. Do you know the joy and freedom of living in God's light?

"Lord, you guide me by the light of your saving truth. Fill my heart and mind with your light and truth and free me from the blindness of sin and deception that I may see your ways clearly and understand your will for my life. May I radiate your light and truth to others in word and deed".




The Weeds in the Grain (or The Tares)
Scripture: Matthew 13:24-30

24 Another parable he put before them, saying, "The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field; 25 but while men were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away. 26 So when the plants came up and bore grain, then the weeds appeared also. 27 And the servants of the householder came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then has it weeds?' 28 He said to them, `An enemy has done this.' The servants said to him, `Then do you want us to go and gather them?' 29 But he said, `No; lest in gathering the weeds you root up the wheat along with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest; and at harvest time I will tell the reapers, Gather the weeds first and bind them in bundles to be burned, but gather the wheat into my barn.'"

Meditation: What can malicious weed-sowing tell us about the kingdom of God? The image Jesus uses here is a common everyday example of planting, harvesting, and sorting the good fruit from the bad. Weeds can spoil and even kill a good harvest if they are not separated and destroyed at the proper time. Uprooting them too early, though, can destroy the good plants in the process. Just as nature teaches us patience, so God's patience also teaches us to guard the word he has planted in our hearts and to beware of the destructive force of sin and evil which can destroy it. God's word brings life, but Satan seeks to destroy the good seed which has been planted in the hearts of those who have heard God's word. God's judgment is not hasty, but it does come. And in the end, God will reward each according to what they have sown and reaped in this life. In that day God will separate the evil from the good. Do you allow God's word to take deep root in your heart?

"Lord, may your word take deep root in my heart and that I may bear good fruit for your glory. May I hunger for your righteousness now that I may look forward to the day of judgment with joy rather than with dismay."
