Contradictions are the impossible chasms that create forever separations. God is the forever bridge that creates impossible reunions. Craig D. Lounsbrough
Meaning of reconcile: To reestablish a close relationship harmonious, or consistent. To compare (one financial account) so that it is consistent or compatible with another.
I was given the word reconcile as a word challenge for today’s word study...And if the truth be known after many years of working in finance I could see a balance sheet in my mind...
But how do we study this word? With who do we balance and reconcile our thoughts, our actions, and our relationships?
Where has our harmony gone? Where has our freedom gone? Where has our hope gone? Where has our love for our Creator gone? Our world seems to be out of balance? Don’t you agree? But how do we reconcile and bring our world back to a world of LOVE, of Hope, of Harmony?
I must admit I do not have the answers from a global perspective... But I do know if each one of us takes the necessary steps to make a positive effect on others one day, one person, and one heart at a time. We will be able to bring our world out of the red and back into the black where it should always remain. I also know that we cannot do it alone... The magnitude of this project is too vast, too daunting, and too overwhelming. There is only one Soul that has the credentials, the power, and the heart to successfully bring the world and its people to a status of peace, love, and joy!!!
I did further research and found this the formula for change. Change equals Dissatisfaction X Vision X First Steps that is greater than the Resistance. The idea is that if you are seeking some significant, system-wide change there are several core elements that need attention. But when I see this formula there is a key element that is missing...
To orchestrate this globally it will take a great leader... One with a heart for all humanity.. one that loves deeper than we can even begin to understand...
It only takes One ... to affect all mankind and bring all its people, and all the nations back .. back to our purpose. Back to our first love!!!
It’s Him It has always been Him!
All I can say to Him is I am here count me in!!! Let's do this together.. start today, start small, start with one person, and one heart... Let’s make a ripple that can be heard and felt around our world...
Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. Ephesians 4:32
Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness, no one will see the Lord. Hebrew's 12:14
“So if while we were still enemies, God fully reconciled us to himself through the death of his Son, then something greater than friendship is ours. Now that we are at peace with God, and because we share in his resurrection life, how much more we will be rescued from sin’s dominion!”
Romans 5:10 TPT
