Giver

In a culture valuing being different from each other in some compelling way, and then managing their worth by allowing exclusive access to whoever pays the price deemed fair for the services or items rendered... people are kept blinded from the value that they themselves along with each and every other man, woman, and child shares in common. This immense value emanates from the fact that Jesus Christ is Himself a human being. His being a member of our race redefines our race into being exactly what He is. This treasure hidden in us in the gift of Jesus in us. Seeing Him as He is, the exact character and nature of God Himself, we are restored in our opinion of ourselves. He gives answer to the question of what man is; Jesus is what man is. That His truth is equally true about each of us does not cause division, exalting one man above while setting another beneath, but each and every man becomes equally defined as He is regardless of what relation they carry one to another, every relationship is sustained by each members direct relationship to the head.

Health is being joyfully responsive to the Head who Himself wills our health, wholeness, and well-being... hearing and accepting His Word causes our belief to rest upon the sufficiency of His will for us, knowing that He who is willing is also able to bring His will to pass in our lives apart from human contributions. This truth is equally true about everyone. I once thought, as a child, that if I alone had the gift to fly the pleasure it gave me would multiply. Soon I realized that I could never know such joy had I alone had access to the gift, so I figured I'd be able to pass that gift on as well. So I imagined passing it on to a woman, and I imagine she'd likely pass it on to other women to held her in high esteem and showed her respect. From that point, I'd consider there being men who see it and now want to be able to exhibit the same glory... So I imagine there arising counterfeits, likely flying apparatus' sustained by the fuel of men's own personal contribution. At that point I'd likely pass on the knowledge of my divinely enabled flight so as to eradicated every trace of the counterfeit and dispel any illusion they may have propagated concerning the character and purposes of those engaged in flight. At the end of the day, I'd will for everyone to have access to the ability to fly!

So then, that thing I once dreamed only desirable if it set me apart as an individual, being true only of me and of no one else, would actually be the opposite of what I desire. What I want is for anyone with the same heart and character and nature as me to have access to the gift and for anyone who doesn't, to not and for their counterfeits to be exposed so anyone with the same character as myself would be freed from the distracting lie their images propagated of there being another way to fly! Only the superior law of God's Lift cancels the Earth's Law of gravity, anything else is by way of brute force, requiring the input of exhaustible resources like efforts or natural resources. So then, our personal desire to be set apart is indeed satisfied by our engagement with this universal law not only because it so rarely is followed by those around us so it defines us at least in the sense of appearances to those who encounter us, but also because the universality of humanities inclusion of this Heavenly law of divine freedom defeats any accusation of "greed" against us or "slothful" behavior because everything God has was freely GIVEN to man in Sonship and we were given command to enter restful dependence on His grace alone and not to labor for our own bread ever again.

Any thought that would arise to challenge that God does bless the man who does not work according to the law for what to have is defeated by the incarnation. He specifically blesses the man who DOES NOT work for that fact, that He alone may provide for Him and that He being our source would free our hearts from worry or fluctuations due to change or deviations from perfect behaviors or attitudes in our own selves! Everything depends on Him and so we can rest. Even we depend on Him. What we do. He is freedom and all we do depends on Him. Sin is to be defined as a servant in His house and have rights go greater than a slave though you be lord of all while Righteousness is to be defined as a Son in His house by birth according to the blood and water of Christ's death and the Spirit of His live-giving resurrection in us. I think we're all good in going by our original name of "I am" and ceasing from self effort to set ourselves apart. His One glorious name is indeed glorious enough to equally glorify each of us in a way that doesn't detract from each other's glory but rather, fits together with it in a beautiful myriad of spontaneous poetry under the direct control of one intent, one spirit, which is the spirit of Grace, our response to what God has done for us and how He brought us to be! The celebration of eternal life, it's giver, and it's nature. <3
