The Dried Rolling Seed. A multitude of things are experienced on a daily basis, and they are appreciated for what they are. In assisting our needs for the given time or the situation, or for a cause. Introduction ​ Appreciation at times differs from the state of being content, of which comes desires. Though an individual can be appreciative of a situation or a circumstance that is at hand, but at times the heart looks beyond to the point in time of being content. However, one can never be content until knowing they desire something while being aware that they are a part of that which they desire. Wherein they too are desired. This state of being content surpasses even the heart that is appreciative to a cause or a thing. Now, the story ​ The recollection of these two experiences, the mindset of appreciation and desire, unfolded in a distant suburb. ​ It was the evening of a weekday, as Paragon, the boy of many friends who have never yet experienced the essence of having a one true friend, engages in subtle activity of sports within the boundaries of his yard on a bright beautiful day. Prior to that experience, was that of the engaging with the accumulation of his many gadgets from within the home. These things were truly appreciated, even now as he steps without into the light of the beautiful blooming day. Beside him was his bright colored basketball, but what was to be experienced that day was more than an appreciation. The outcome of that which we experienced at times is not always predicated upon our actions to manipulate the givens at hand. But if that which is shaped without the hands of men is experienced, a split second of a time is eternal life altercation. The feel of the early evening wind with the adrenaline and his ball provided a soothing experience as his dog follows and chases his every move. The wagging of its fluffy tail was as the biggest a smile could be, being with Paragon, his master. Many roads did lead to Paragon’s home, as his home was well known in the suburb. On a given day the threaded path of these roads brought in his many friends for the visitation to his house. Scores of his friends did reside by the row of houses by the woods, one of which was Elwood, a free-spirited boy, but a loyal friend. On a given day, Paragon was accustomed to seeing Elwood and his friends coming into his yard through the multiple roads which led to his house. Seemingly, this evening of being outside with his ball and his dog was not unusual from any other day, until that which was soon to be experienced. In his view from the houses by the woods appears Elwood, walking in the midst of others. For it was habitual for the residents and visitors to thread on these suburban roads during the cool of the day. Paragon continues the playing of hoops, with the awareness and the anticipation of Elwood’s presence soon to be in his company. Shortly thereafter, he retires for the time being by proceeding upward upon the stairs toward the patio of the home. His next glance in the direction of Elwood was the unexpected but receptively pleasant. As Elwood branches out from the midst of the others, yet remains by his side was the impeccable appearance of a girl. Elwood and Paragon and the friends of the suburb were as brothers, the joy of appreciating one another and being in each other’s company, through the upbringing by their parents. However, this day, the presence of Elwood soon faded in the view of Paragon as the girl with Elwood continued in steps besides him in the proximity of Paragon. The boys were accustomed to a unique tone of whistling in their greetings, and so it was at this moment. For the unaware ears, it was the sound of a random whistling. However, communications were conveyed through their whistles. Therein, he introduced the girl beside him to Paragon who wasn’t alone anymore, but with fewer of the other boys. Although he was overtaken by the moment, but he befittingly whistled not back. Instead, his greetings and introduction toward her was already received with a smile and a somewhat repression of shyness. Not for the fear of social interactions, but whatsoever was the reason it was yet to be realized. Even while being in the company of the others, the two reside in their own world for the time being. In as much as the usual animated rambunctiousness of Freeman was present within the gathering. But the two momentarily reside in their state of mind. Her blue denim skirt though gracefully fits her contour, but her motions stood not still. Yet subtle in her gesture, being a lady, as it was customary to their suburban way of life. The verbal introduction by Elwood was not a formal presentation by the name of his friend, Paragon. Instead, she heard a nickname which brought smiles and a chuckle she could not hold back. A blushful smile on the face of Paragon as well, but he knew this was the way of Elwood. The free-spirited boy, but a loyal friend. Though the time was shortly spent, and neither were the two alone during this subtle, but eventful moment in time, but in the grand scheme of time; an experience is as a building block which shapes the awareness of the present and subsequently the future. As was their greetings and introductions were filled with smiles and pleasantry gestures, quickly came the farewell, but the smiles and pleasantries continued. Meanwhile, during this time, Elwood was already engaged in the game of hoops with the other boys. Then came his moment to gloat. Having made his famous, dazzling shot at the hoop. Through his flaring, before soon he realizes her presence. Whistling again and acknowledging Paragon, as she stood in his presence. He then called out to her. Precious, I will walk you home! However, he again turned his attention toward chasing of the ball. With Precious and Paragon looking in his direction, they both looked at one another in the eyes and smiled. Though they had not a lot to say in that moment, but the procrastination of Elwood became a moment initiating a first true eye contact. While leaping over Sky the pup, triggering the loss of his balance, causing Freeman to quickly gain the advantage with a shot. Freeman was loud regardless of his ongoing action, and louder he was, having made a shot against Elwood. Now, Elwood had a reason to walk off with Precious. Joining in the presence of Paragon and Precious, the three stood in the unplanned, but unifying triangle, a precursor to those things that were to come. When a great impersonation is made in a given moment, farewell is but a hopeful beginning. The three did walk partially together. In farewell, slowly did Elwood and Precious walked out in the distance away from Paragon. He became the top point of the triangle as Elwood and Precious walked adjacent one another, away from the lively buzz of the evening gathering at Paragon’s place. Being friends with Elwood, she knew what to expect of him and their usual interaction one with another. But with her recent knowing of Paragon, she admires the fondness the boys showed toward one another, but instantly she perceives their unique differences through the brief, but impactful time she had with Paragon. This she admired, but within her heart those things were kept. Yet, more were her smiles than the words she spoke while walking home with Elwood. Her walk home was a new journey though not alone in the presence of Elwood, but ever accompanied with her were those things within her heart through the initiation of a new awareness. One can walk away from an experience, but at times, before the individual, goes the memories of the experience at all times. Soon thereafter, Precious was at liberty with her thoughts, having received a hug from Elwood. En route to her home, Although not yet at her home. For the remaining of the way, the cool of the evening wind against her skin was that of a reminder of a person being gently exposed, but therein she welcomely embraced herself in the feel of the uncertainty and adoration and fondness she had just experienced at Paragon’s. Before her steps, goes the replaying of thoughts. As the wind rushes her being on every side, her thoughts of fondness became a narrow corridor wherewith she walks in, feeling the warmth of the new awareness and fondness she has experienced. Now, in her view was her home by the roadside, but the journey of the mind continues as she steps in the partially illuminated kitchen of her home. With the sense of familiarity and awareness she did make her way into her bedroom. At times, the unknown in life might seems dark, but the right desire within the individual, shall be an illumination to make all things known. But time is a distance worth travelling. Her thoughts were soon interrupted by a call. Hastily she did attend to the call, and in the living-room was her mother. You have to tend to your dog before the night is over. With an exasperated sigh, she replied, it is your dog too, mom. I got it for you, but it is your responsibility, my child. With a smirk of an expression followed by chuckles, she did as her mother requested. Though she rather not, in hope not to interrupt the reminiscing of her experience earlier.

The greatness of the Word of God is its integrity, by which it is without error nor deception. If contradictions arise, it is the reader’s lack of perception. So then, let it be an opportunity to gain a better insight. The passages below are some of that which we avert, for the lack of understanding, but with a willing mind, they shall be made known. Appreciating the Present for Deeper Understanding Progressus: A Call for Mindful Movement Beyond the Emotional Maze ​ At times, it is not essential to gaze far into the distance and comprehend everything at once. Instead, it is more meaningful to appreciate what is immediately before our eyes and to cherish the present moment. This approach allows for a deeper understanding, a discernment that speaks to the m ind rather than just the heart . It calls for reasoning , rather than overthinking , as the heart can become a whirlpool controlled by emotions. ​ Shall we then forsake emotions and live without feelings? No, but what good is an emotion if it only serves as a downward spiral to one’s mental state? An individual can become trapped in a myriad of unanswered questions and thoughts, isolated from their physical surroundings and their interactions with others. Others who care about them, but when emotion replaces reason, the need to see the good in others is replaced by a focus on self. ​ A self on the verge of collapse is a self that cannot be pleased. It sees torment in simple things, rather than seeing beauty in the progression of things. However, as the heart is pruned to emotional sentiments, so is the mind in the same individual. On the contrary, the mind is capable of reasoning rather than constantly reverting to the emotions of the heart. ​ When one learns to reason in a given situation, instead of succumbing to a whirlpool of emotions, this is progress. True progress is marked by improvement. The term “progress” originated from the Latin word “progressus ,” signifying advancement or improvement. E mbodying the essence of transitioning from one state to another, ideally for the better. ​ Let’s strive to transition from our current emotional state by improving our reactions to experiences. From reacting emotionally to reasoning for change. Remember, when we reason, we consider others. When we react based on emotions, our feelings are primarily self-centered. ​ As humans, we are threefold beings - body , soul , and spirit . These three distinct entities work together, just like our emotions and our capacity to reason. If we take accountability. ​ Re asoning Beyond Overthinking: A New Perspectiv e. Appreciating the Present for Deeper Understanding Sometimes, it’s not necessary to understand everything at once. Instead, it’s more rewarding to appreciate what’s right in front of us and cherish the present moment. This approach fosters a deeper understanding that resonates with the mind, not just the heart. It encourages reasoning over overthinking, as emotions can often cloud our judgement. ​ The heart , often seen as the cradle of emotions, can lead us into a whirlpool of feelings, sometimes causing us to lose sight of our surroundings and the people who care about us. On the other hand: T he mind , associated with rationality and logic, offers a pathway to reason, allowing us to navigate through emotional turbulence and make progress. By transitioning from emotional reactions to reasoned responses, we can achieve personal growth and improved mental health. This balance between the heart and mind is the essence of ‘Reasoning Beyond Overthinking’.

Study to show yourself approved unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. The greatness of the Word of God is its integrity, by which it is without error nor deception. If contradictions arise, it is the reader’s lack of perception. So then, let it be an opportunity to gain a better insight. The passages below are some of that which we avert, for the lack of understanding, but with a willing mind, they shall be made known. Ways that God establishes I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging for bread. (Psalms 37:25) ​ As David reflects on his life, the Psalmist brings forth his age, which compass his entire life, from young to old. Herein are his experiences; though afflicted through trials at times and persecuted by men, yet never forsaken by God. Though at times he is in need of life’s necessities, but God in His providence has always come through in one way or another, for the righteous and to his seed, or children. As God never forsakes the parent, likewise, the children will not beg for bread. However, as children, there are times we ask, of God and of others, knowing when we ask it shall be given. Consequently, asking is not begging, but the display of faith; trusting that God will work in his providence for that which is needed in our lives. As we read these passages, let the believer put themselves in the place of the Psalmist and his children. For this we know, all scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: (2 Timothy 3:16) Like David the Psalmist, being young and old, in spite of all circumstances, we are not forsaken by God, nor would our children ever beg for bread (life’s necessity) However, the greatness of this testimony and the promise, isn’t having all that we need at all times for a comfortable living, but it lies in the fact that even when the comfort of life seems afar off, we know God will provide our needs. In Jesus name, Amen.

Study to show yourself approved unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. The greatness of the Word of God is its integrity, by which it is without error nor deception. If contradictions arise, it is the reader’s lack of perception. So then, let it be an opportunity to gain a better insight. The passages below are some of that which we avert, for the lack of understanding, but with a willing mind, they shall be made known. Looking beyond our stumbling block. An exposition on sin Let us know that we cannot focus on our wrongdoing to move forward, shall we then ignore wrongdoing? Certainly not, however, the awareness of our shortcomings and wrongdoing, with the heart of heaviness, is the evidence of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit within our hearts, to comfort, but there can be no comfort without grief. Therefore, those who love the Lord, are not perfected without sin, but when we sin, our spirit bears witness with the Holy Spirit, for the existence of a wrongdoing on our part. Consequently, we grieve for our action, unlike those in the world, we display remorse for our wrongdoing. ​ To further understand this is to look at the word sin , from its true meaning in the Greek language. The word sin is the Greek word Hamartia. (Ha-mar-TEE-ah) The idea of this word is an act of civil offense , or an honest mistake . Hence, we at times, find ourselves doing things we desire not to do, but we keep doing it. ​ Looking closely at the Greek word Hamartia which means sin, the English reader will see the similarity of the English word “hammer .” Like a sledgehammer , it is used to drive a wedge between a wood , to cause a split . This is the picture of sin. So, sin, or hamartia drives a wedge between us and God. So then, during this great division, to whom shall we cling to, the side of sin, or to the Lord? That is to say, when we sin, let us not dwell on our sin, but through confession, may we look to the Lord, and love Him more. ​ The work of the Holy Spirit in us, is to convict us of sin, and this is done for one reason, but before this reason is given, let us look at that which is not the reason for the conviction of sin . This is why the believer struggle at times to overcome his or her shortcomings. When the believer sinned, he or she is not to fight the sin, for it was already defeated by Christ on the Cross . 1 Peter 2:24, Colossians 2:14. Instead, the conviction of sin in us is to draw us closer in relationship with the Lord, away from the sin. As He loves us, let us love Him in return. The deception of sin. Let us not fall short to the trickery of sin, wherewith we feel unworthy in our shortcomings and shy away from the Lord. Who shall restore us, but Him? In our conviction, may we love Him the more, eventually our love for Him will be greater than the temporal pleasure of sin. Until then, love not your wrongdoing, but love the Lord with all your heart. ​ Scripture study reference ​ ​ Romans 8:1-2 1 Peter 2:24 Hebrews 2:17 Hebrews 4:16 Colossians 2:14 Galatians 5:22 ​ __________________________________ ​ 🎨PSW·3✒© > Related topics < Share
