Jewells of Thought

In the past 24 hours a lot of thoughts have gone through my mind. Isn’t it odd that a certain parable dealing with eyes, and a speck of dust or a log in one’s eye have been on my mind lately? These come from scripture in Matthew 7: 3-5.

Christ and His words are so dynamic, attention-getters. The force of those words brings to mind ideas worthy of change. Lately, my life has been mostly writing, researching and reading. I am poking at the Left with the truths of the Bible and my thoughts. Hopefully engaging more people in what’s really going on in different ways. Yet I am not putting myself in harm’s way for Christ.

In some way my soul is feeling that I need to be more vocal besides my words and fingers. I need to use my actions like Tim Ballard did. Trying to find a job has been frustrating, but I wonder if it was so I could literally put myself into a role of physically helping young girls who need to feel safe and a seed of kindness.

Only God knows if this will come to pass. Still… I feel that how can I continue to write if I don’t put all of myself into doing even more for God’s children who need someone to care for them. Even if they don’t care anymore about themselves.

Loving oneself is essential to loving others. I am blessed to have learned this early from a loving family doubly over. Who knows though, God is in control and I am open to his will.

How did mercy look… in Christ’s eyes?

Watching the trailers for ‘Sound of Freedom’ Jim Caviezels’ eyes show the horrible images that produce tears starting to fall from his eyes. Think about the children… their eyes… what do they tell you?

Do you think you have eyes that show mercy… to others?
