The question of spirituality
Posted by Pelgrim on 2nd August 2008
“Teacher” said the pupil, “Why is there a difference between a spiritual man and those that are not?”
Son, is there such a thing as a non-spiritual man? In this world there are man who have fallen in love with the gift so much that they have forgotten to seek the face of the giver. Others seek his face constantly. Both bring a smile to the face of the giver.
The misuse of his gift will sadden him.
He gave us of His essence, that we may manifest His essence for He loves us so much that he gave his own that we may find life.
In our darkness and to blinded to see we choose to put out the light and remain in darkness.
Can a woman with a loving and faithful husband remain ignorant of his lovingkindness? Knowing that if she accepts and returns his love that will make her the most revered bride?
Praise the faithful husband that in his lovingkindness he still sees the beauty of his bride even though her missteps in his severity cause his face to turn away.
Praise the husband that he is a faithful husband!
From a work in progress based on Psalm 119, 54 - working title Songs from the wilderness, H. Blum
