Meditation

"Behold I make all things new!"

Moving very quickly, we have come past what God has given us to behold and perceive anew.

We rush from one thing to another nonstop.

Now you see it, now you don’t….

Our enjoyment of anything is dulled by… "What’s next?"

The question is do we see at all… at a glance… a blink… or is it a blur?

Fast food, instant food products, variety, even buffet restaurants are the rage, with quick and varied choices. Do it faster get it faster… then try an alternative.

Get there faster has exceeded get there safe.

Risk is the price paid unconditionally to perpetuate our selfish want… that is never quenched or satisfied.

The quest of new experience… is that we never experience enough… without consideration to the consequence.

Our choosing is haphazard at best in a swoon to change for the sake of change.

We have lost touch with eternal peace in our hasty endeavor to get… past the now.

Stopping to smell the flowers is now exceeded by how many we can smell in haste at any given opportunity and get on or back to another endeavor.

Our new exchange of smell causes us to have the experience to talk about as something accomplished but have we now missed the setting, the differences, the texture, the color, the variety, the splendor, the richness, the gift?

Meditation seeks past our intent… to find the fullness of God’s intent…

Not what we want… what He has created… for us, with purposeful intent to benefit us here and now.

We can enjoy the creation but never as much as the creator…

He allows us to participate that seeing it as intended, even the observance of others will cause us to seek Him.

We can enjoy the creation but never as much as we enjoy the creator…

Something we’ve seen or heard can have a whole new meaning and change the way we see and think and more importantly how we receive… even, that we receive… the love of God.

"Behold" newness is in seeing as Jesus sees…
