A need which every soul has that's been assigned a physical body. Almost as if a void that gets filled once this need gets realized as an "Event" that now takes up residency as if a place in time.
Many can speak well of their proof of the exact date their physical body was brought into this world. That is to the point (understanding is reached) they now have an established identity, yet how many can speak to their spiritual re-birth as one they celebrate even more?
The reality is there's only one "Way" it can be proved as one that will be eternally considered to the credit of another that is also recognized as if their true identity.
Such an identity having been governed by the highest of authority which can then respond to any question that comes along with regards to cross examination, "Who are you and why do you do what you do"?
Thomas Jefferson suggested in the Declaration of independence that "All men are created equal".
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.
Not all patrons are as willing to be equally endowed by such a freedom due to their rejection of such principles which do in fact extend and reinforce the thought(s) of freedom.
Such a freedom that originated by way of deliverance from unwanted evil(s) which inhibit this freedom from being realized by all mankind.
Freedom that's also "True" levels the playing field(s) of mutual opportunity which supply's the venue for making one and the same discovery of a sovereign creator.
A nation must know and understand the roots of evil otherwise she will be overcome by it.
Prov 20:10-11
Differing weights and differing measures — the LORD detests them both. Even a child is known by his actions, by whether his conduct is pure and right.
NIV
2 Tim 2:19
Nevertheless, God's solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: "The Lord knows those who are his," and, "Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness."
NIV
The above revelation comes when you decide that you can't accomplish same without the continual (wisdom) counsel of the Lord also being the dominate voice you've listened to (responded to).
The "Need" for this newly celebrated awareness is one that all men have within their being despite what the world around us tries to explain away.
More specifically with respect to a hope which then looks forward to the net result of your existence as one that's been proved to be one that is also True (real).
John 17:3
Now this is eternal life: that they may know you , the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.
NIV
In terms of all that a lie attempts to explain away as reality, without the "Truth" a man will believe everything else that's NOT true having been left to his own logic while "trying" to interpret said explanation(s) being provided.
Eccl 3:9-11
What does the worker gain from his toil? I have seen the burden God has laid on men. He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end.
NIV
Has everything God has made as beautiful in its time become so attractive that you've taken your eyes off of the real beauty of it all?
What beauty is that? Is it not the beauty as the purpose for having created ALL things?
Why wouldn't that over shadowing question also include you as part of the ALL that He's created?
If you don't know what also makes you beautiful in the eyes of your creator, can you then have and hold an appreciation for beauty that is also True?
Even further to mean, "He created You, but who then shaped and formed your opinion of the creator of ALL things?
Without the active influence of his spirit from one moment to the next, what other than His spirit has influenced your opinion of your creator?
That is to suggest that if Jesus as the one that was sent so you might come to Know the person of your creator is not the composer of the music you dance to, "Who is"?
There are many addictions in this world, most of which we've all agreed in common are bad for us yet are there any other addictions we've not truthfully considered.
What about the addiction of, "Only believing what we want to believe even if its wrong"? This is where the light of truth Hopes to shine the brightest.
Every opinion still requires a judge especially in light of a consideration for being somethings that's found to be "Good".
John 5:31-36
"If I testify about myself, my testimony is not valid. There is another who testifies in my favor, and I know that his testimony about me is valid.
"You have sent to John and he has testified to the truth. Not that I accept human testimony; but I mention it that you may be saved. John was a lamp that burned and gave light, and you chose for a time to enjoy his light.
"I have testimony weightier than that of John. For the very work that the Father has given me to finish, and which I am doing, testifies that the Father has sent me.
NIV
Without the exact musical "Notes" being produced and then set in a specific order should a composer have any hope of producing the beautiful sound of "Music"?
There's a saying which makes its rounds in the world of the "Arts" which says, "Know your audience". How true might that prove to be in the mind of a composer?
If you were a composer, "Do you know the audience you acknowledge and then perform for"?
Especially if that composer knows his listening audience has an even greater appreciation for the one that's mastered the art of being able to capture many different musical notes from as many different instruments and making them practically "Dance on the air".
Within the music world there seems to be a specific appreciation for the precision of each note that gets played.
The music composer however, in most instances is not capable of simaltaniously producing all of the required musical notes while at the same time queuing each as to when to "Chime in.
The essence of the composer's task is to "presides" over the delivery of a written piece of music. Sure he may have also wrote it, but it still requires the prompting of each musical notes timely delivery.
It's a certain harmonious and resonating sound that must follow the distinct recognition of its hearer(s) throughout its production, otherwise the whole instrumental piece gets remembered for one of its parts being "Off Key".
How different is the distinction being made when listening for the sound of a specific voice in a crowd?
Most know that it's possible because they also know that a desperately searching mother possesses what some might consider to be a super natural ability to recognise the sound of her child's voice in a crowded venue.
That is "If" she's also tuned her ears for nothing but that sound.
Even in the animal kingdom mothers and sometimes fathers have an intuitive ability (pick out) to discern the presence of their offspring in a crowded scenario.
I've reached the conclusion while considering both kingdoms that how they each discern their own is due to their familiar sense (or scent) of themselves which the child also has.
It's as if to say, that very scent (sense) then testifies to their awareness, "This one is mine".
To whom do you belong?
To the sound of "One Voice" or "To the sound of many voices" that want you to join them"?
Do those voices dictate and or influence what you do while in this life or is it that you remain the only one that judges what gets heard as well believed?
Is a man not as good as "Blind" if he doesn't know about the end result or net result of a "Matter" or is he simply choosing to remain "Ignorant" having decided for "Himself" that the end result doesn't "Matter"?
Restoring the sight of the blind suggest they could see at one time, while giving sight to the blind suggest they never could see.
Either way, "If one day you did find yourself standing in the light truth and were then asked "Did you choose to be ignorant or were you simply not told?
I guess in order to make you comfortable within all your choices you alone are making, all you'd have to do is sell yourself on the idea that only the sound of your voice matters?
2 Tim 1:1
....according to the promise of life that is in Christ Jesus,
NIV
Will you voluntarily step down in this season of mercy or will you eventually find yourself forcibly dethroned when the King of Truth does return in majestic form?
I encourage you to not only think of yourself as if you are in Christ, but let Christ be found in You!
2 Cor 2:14-16
But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of him. For we are to God the aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing. To the one we are the smell of death; to the other, the fragrance of life. And who is equal to such a task?
NIV
2 Tim 2:10-13
Therefore I endure everything for the sake of the elect, that they too may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory.
Here is a trustworthy saying:
If we died with him, we will also live with him; if we endure, we will also reign with him.
If we disown him, he will also disown us; if we are faithless, he will remain faithful, for he cannot disown himself.
NIV
