APPRECIATE "YOUR" PRESENT
APPRECIATE "YOUR" PRESENT
Saturday, January 07, 2017
By Rev. Dr. Larry Delano Coleman
Discontent and ferment froth across the land.
Lemmings rush in mass into the sea.
Envy of others breeds enmity within.
Tipping points are reached.
Poles transpose.
“John 9:1-3King James Version (KJV)
9 And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.
2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
3 Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.”
Appreciating the gift of the present is an exceptional act. Inadequacies, insufficiencies, vulnerabilities, blemishes, defects are present in all. Yet, masquerades and masks of deception, perfection, prevail.
“Who did sin?” That we, that I, did not win? “Neither.”
None to blame but the Creator, our Creator, your Creator, YOURS.
Privileged to be purposed on this plane are you, whatever your consanguinity, your ingenuity, tenuity, ability, disability, reality.
Life rewards the living by presence, not by absence. Love yours!
