Somethings are not for you...

I have a thing about frogs. Some dont like them but I know there are plenty that do. It is incredible to see the magnificent creation which I fear even the greatest imagination could not have dreamed up. Some are the most vivid and magnificent colours, catching the eye easily of those that behold them, and often the imagination of many an artist. Whilst some of the most vibrant in colour are quite small, they are also quite deadly, posessing a poison which means an end to the life of their predators. Only three are known to be deadly to people, however the others will still mess with the health of those that play with them. Just because it appears good, doesnt make it a good thing.

I look around at the magnificent creation God has granted us in our relationship with HIM. Finding in that the most incredible and amazing things that I know not even the greatest imagination and workings of the human hand, mind and resources could have conjoured up. I also look at the things we embrace in the world and from those around us, from our imaginations and desires, from our perceptions and impressions. Many times taking a hold of some of the most careful of saints, of the most guarded hearts, of the most secure of minds. Not everything is a sin or wrong entirely, but may be wrong either for that person, or for that time. It takes wisdom, caution and seeking God.

These things dont need to be big things, quite often the most simple that take root and stay long enough running the corridors of minds until they bear fruit. Until they become the things spoken, that satisfy and that fill us. Until they become the things which bring an increase in our lives. Depending on what they are, as to whether or not they bring forth life or death. They are the things which feed our faith and which become the substance of our hopes and the evidence given to those around us. People hear. There is a reason that the things we speak need to be of God, His word, His ways, His desire for our lives. It is these that feed our faith.

Proverbs 18:20 A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled. :21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

I pray you find those things in your life, for yourself. Day by day, healed a little more, a little more whole, a little more the beauty of God's creation in all your splendour and all your uniqueness. Day by day a little more you, knowing who you are in God, and who He is in you.
