Susan,
When an individual sings with their soul it becomes the most beautiful sound in heaven as well as the world. There is song and then there is song made with the soul that transforms. If all you hear is parrot squawking sounds then you are not hearing with the soul ears that God has given you and you are seeing yourself as less than when God always sees each individual as the essence of himself–he never sees himself nor you as less than. The instrument of your voice has its own uniqueness and if no one else can see that then that’s a loss on them. Cease hearing the less than and embrace the unique beauty of the Soul Song Instrument you were blessed with–its your instrument to please God in times of song. Song doesn’t always have to be loud and boisterous–it is as gentle and soft as the breeze of a whispers tranquility.
As for the pictures of the little children–they come to Jesus in willingness. In willingness there is never any resistance–only alignment. In submission and obedience there is a level of resistance. I would rather enjoy my God in willingness than in resistance. Jesus said, suffer not the little children to come unto me. He knew with children that they come in willingness–the pureness of heart and of his love. Where others would rather tell you of the rejection of any part of his creation–because they are not in the rightness and purity of heart and mind. You see that in the battle of words in the first half-dozen or so photographs depict this distortion of belief–one church wants to encourage the growth of “Belief with Faith” while the other wants to be selective of what God is and Keep it in a box to control it–this will never allow growth nor integrity of Belief and Faith–it will cause it to stagnate and rot. God said as above so below–My belief allows all His creatures great and small to be in heaven with me because they have been an intimate and integrate part of my very existence. So all you can do is allow those who don’t wish to expand themselves and their spiritual individualism to a higher integrity then let that be on them–we as individuals have a journey that is both individual and integrated. It is our responsibility to ourselves first to be the best that we can be through our choices and at the same time become strengthened for the benefit of others as well as ourselves. You can not choose one or the other or it all becomes weakened. The good news is even when we feel weakened by our choices God is always working on all our behalf and wellbeing with great prosperity. All we need to do is accept every moment of everyday the gifts He’s prepared for us and see them with his eyes and hear them with his ears on his terms of his truth. He always speaks and corrects me with a loving voice anything less than that is my own voice that condemns and judges–that’s the voice that must not be taken seriously because it creates personal “Hell”. Believe me when I say I’ve had enough of that. Now that I know the difference I won’t go there again. I can be my best friend or my worst enemy. That’s why my prayer for anybody is:
“GOD SAVE THEM FROM THEMSELVES !” So-It-Is!
You don’t have to believe what I wrote to pass it along. You’ll pass it along because in it reveals a truth. Scriptures says we see in part–therefore we only know in part; one day the whole truth will be revealed and we will know and be overflowed in tranquil joy of what and who we are and the part we played in our accepted roles in this life-living experience. We will be relieved. No regrets!
Love Always in Christs’ Function,
