The Ultimate Gift. DVD, Twentieth Century Fox, PG
A gift is simply something you give away. If we consider gifts From God there is a man's character developed from years of living on this earth. The toil and cares of this world some say are the best teachers. I disagree the choice to live on another plane that the sufferings of this world is the greatest gift from God.
I just finished watching a story of a young man who lived for fun. That is having as much fun as his grandfathers money would buy. Until his grandfather died.The executor of the will gave him a series of tasks to complete before he could earn his inheritance and a single mother and daughter dying of cancer entered his life.
So he has a choice to accept his dead grandfather's challenges or give up.
Our lives are sort of like a blank page for God to write on and we determine how many times He has to erase. He presents us with a series of choices in life. What we do with those choices is our true worship to Him.

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas
Two children become friends who were ment to be enemies. In the eyes of a child we see a picture of freedom from all guilt even in the midst of a bloody war where men turn themselves into devils. The Nazi redefined humanity as a little higher than an animal and treated each other as animals.
We do find ourselves in war but not the kind that always involves guns. A man can use his mouth as a weapon of mass destruction with ideas that would send a teenager to his death much like the terrorist that claims the Taliban. In gang banging for instance, young african americans call themselves soliders and og (original gangsters) can with a word, a look or a hand sign, send a man to his death. No bullets are necessary.
Some gang members even consider it a right of passage to serve time in prision making prision a badge of honor instead of a deterant to crime. We have to kick the enforcement up a knotch but how? Gang members take the american dream with fear and propaganda pumped into the urban street much like the poision gas of the SS in the movie the Boy in the Striped Pajamas.
So what should civilized America do in the gang war on the homefront? Herd all the young African American males who join the gangs up and throw them all into prision so they can earn thier stripes and gain a higher rank in the gang? Or fight the propaganda with another kind of propaganda that isn't false.
But we seem to fall short and treat each other like animals in this drawinistic age. Just look at the labels of corporate american such as the "rat race" or dog eat dog world. According to Darwin aren't we all just educated monkeys that evolved? Well, even if I'm considered unevolved by some in academia who are Darwinist I choose to treat myself like more than an ape. Let us hope that we can see each other in a another framework even if we disagree on how to deal with a problem such as gang wars in America.
Because the truth is that Hitler believed that jews did not evolve but the made up Arian races did. So he wanted to purify the earth of these missing links, the jew, who were not quite finished with thier evoluting.
Those who are biased cannot lay down thier bias if they do not admit they have one.
I am biased on a number of issues but I choose not to judge any person by a belief system. I believe that God does the changing or is in charge of the evoluting if you believe in that.

Seeing the Spirituals
Eph 1:5 God was kind and decided that Christ would choose us to be God's own adopted children. Contemporary English Version
From God's prepective He decides and is kindness personified. If you do not see Him as kind and loving you will not be able to appropreate that part of kind facet of Him into your life for His loving use. It is not what we are capable of it is what He is able to do. We as God's adopted children just get to ride the wave.
The wave is not the vehicle God is, and everything that makes up who He is. This is the mystery. But in Hebrews 1 we get a sneak peek into the mystery that is God through Jesus, the God Man. We choose what facet of Jesus that we recieve. Because we have a choice. And that choice that God gives every human is the lynch pin of the universe. The deciding factor in interpretation of many things in the Spiritual.
So those of us who see Him as Kindness, Loving and all knowing have a responsibility to those who cannot see God at all. Or refuse to acknowledge Him at all. Love does not take account of wrong. Those things in the Spirituals that are off limits are there for protection sake if you see God as Love.
The Spirituals are not just songs sung to encourage each other, but the other Kingdom of Heavenly things and beings. Lend a blind brother your eyes so they can see God as who He is. And know Jesus as the personification of His Book. If you see a person living in a snake pit and don't tell them you are not seeing clearly. You are not operating in Love. If you cared you would tell the brother or sister they are in danger. You just don't tell them where they are but help them out of the pit. If you are in the pit with them you are in no position to pull them out.
There is the drowning principle that must be followed. If you try to save a drowning person and they will not let you, instead they take you to the watery grave with them. You cannot help them. But those cases are rare.
Back to the point of the Sword. Interpretation. Jesus is alive and speaks through dreams and other methods. Open Visions, impressions, thoughts, that all line up with the key. How one sees God.
Seek Him and you will find your reward. Sight enough to see the King, and to operate in His delegated authority for His purpose.If you have something or someone blocking your way that is fine. It comes with the territory of seeking and seeing God for who He really is. God will find you where ever you are. That is His part of His purpose.
