About
I see where the puzzle pieces fit together
and understand the picture on the puzzle too.
I research both the picture and the pieces,
to verify, perhaps adjust my understanding;
But then I come to a conclusion
Not an easy thing in this relative world
and I apply that conclusion case by case.
I have never been one size fits all.
This is who I am.
And what I do.
Inspirations:
These fiction writers, from the modern era, have helped to guide my hand:
C. S. Lewis, Charles Williams, J. R. R. Tolkien (really, all of the inklings) and before that, George MacDonald, William Morris, Lord Dunsany. T. H. White and Jonathan Swift, Huxley and Orwell, Dickens and Twain, Shakespeare and G. B. Shaw, Chaucer, Milton, Dante and John Bunyon, Verne, Wells and Stevenson, Haggard and Conan Doyle, E.E. Doc Smith and Lin Carter, Andre Norton and Madeline L’Engle. I have enjoyed most everyone from D. Adams to R. Zelazny and on into the present day where there are many writers producing fine work.

Dear Sir I have read a few of your comments on other blogs and appreciate very much your Godly and life wisdom , I hope to read more of what you have written in the near future but I did have one concern and that is why would God tell us to be perfect and I don’t mean as understood in a wordly way but perfect in Love and this is also confirmed in many other Scriptures, if it is impossiable, sorry it just does not add up.
Thanking you for your time Christian Love Anne.

In Christ we have received the Holy Spirit who is working day and night in us to produce fruit. The fruit of the Spirit is Love, Joy, peace… Perfect love in this broken world? Perhaps not, but that is the standard and that is the goal. On that day we will love as we are loved. In the meanwhile, we have grace. We confess our shortcomings and offenses in Jesus and God freely forgives our imperfections. But forgiveness is not the goal, perfection is, and in what time we have, long or short in this life, if we follow after Christ and depend on the Holy Spirit we can get closer to the goal than we might believe. God will bring us home.
It is true that when God finds us and calls to us we are filled with sin, but it is also true that God loves us too much to leave us in that condition.

Thank you Sir and I do agree we can achieve perfection in this life as the Scriptures clearly show and they also show they did so in the early Church including Paul. Although we choose to walk in the fruit of the Sprit it is by His empowering that we do so and it is God who conforms us into the image of His Son not us as you rightly shared.
Thanks for your time Christian Love – Anne.
