Life Matters - May 15, 2024
In a world emotionally functioning as it properly—and by design—should, unless a mother dies in childbirth, her love is the first love her little one will experience, creating a lifelong bond that is only changed when both mother and baby have passed on. I was one such bonding baby. Even though I don’t remember being born (who does?!) I know, by the bond, that mother loved her little one. I have no doubt that she gazed tenderly at the little guy she was holding and that her mama heart yearned to provide the best she and his papa could. How do I know? Because mother is gone and this baby, though big now, is wiping tears on Mother’s Day… remembering. Remembering her love. Remembering that her love was sometimes pained, sometimes happy, sometimes joyful, sometimes pleased, and sometimes not. Her love put a spring in her step. Until she could no longer…
The wisdom of God when He orchestrated family structure has been testified to, many times over, by its beneficiaries, those who have had the benefit of being raised in a solid family unit. I have observed the result of that wisdom in motherhood, first in my own mother, then, the mother of my children, and now, observing my daughters and daughters-in-law mothering their own children.
A solid family unit also needs a father, but I’ll save that for another day. He is a vital part of the bigger picture called family. So is his wife. Whether together, or alone now, we experience the wisdom of God in giving us children. There is no one in this world that we love more, that we feel more responsible for. There is also no one in this world that can try our patience more… right? So we need love mixed with giving guidance, courage to direct and correct, wisdom for the big picture. If love is the framework and courage the border then wisdom is the actual picture that opens the mind, the understanding, of what the Artist had in mind with the brushstrokes of his creative work. And creative it is. Much understanding of the spirit world can be absorbed by the observation of God’s handiwork everywhere in His creation. Including in family structure, God’s wisdom can be observed, studied, understood, and partaken of by those who sincerely ask. “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all men liberally and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.” (her included) (James 1:15) Wisdom is the state of knowing truth. The Truth.
When Jesus said, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life”, He underscored for us that truth, The Truth, is spiritual in nature. The whole of its composition, from the outer edges to its very core, bears the knowledge that God is. “The heavens (skies) declare the glory of God and the firmament His handiwork.” (Psalm 19:1) “…the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made… (Romans 1:20) The laws of nature show a harmony put in motion by an orderly, creative Being. Jehovah God. He is Truth.
Hence, to say, “there is no Truth” is to say, “there is no God.” That, in accordance with the first verse of chapter 53 in Psalms, is a personal pronouncement that one is a fool, as, “The fool hath said in his heart, there is no God.”
The theory of Evolution presupposes that there is no creator God. It is then necessarily followed by the presupposition that there is no Truth, that nothing is stable, everything is in a continual state of flux. The gender ideology of the “alphabet mob” is built upon the false idea that, “there is no Truth,” applied to “genders cannot be determined at birth as they are fluid” and gender depends, then, on something referred to as “sexual orientation.” In accordance with Romans 1:22-27, anyone believing such things, maybe even daring to say such things for acceptance by said mob, has already been judged to be a fool. By God. We are His Creation.
There were two sins that could motivate our mother to wash the inside of her little children’s mouths with bar soap and a washcloth. Those two sins were; saying a curse word, or lying. And yes, I do know what Lava soap tastes like… and behold, I lived to tell you about it! Living proof that I’m not “woke-offended!” I don’t mean the above as a recommendation, but I do recommend that somehow we need to convey the seriousness of sin and the need for repentance to our children. And, that it is love wielding the consequences. God does that for us. When we yield, He speaks comfort into our hearts and minds by His acceptance of us. He forgives. I thank Him for mother and father being an example of what severity, and forgiveness, looks like.
Life Matters!
