CEILINGS
The limits of the mind. So perfectly defined by our inhibitions and fears. To place a roof on our dreams and treat it as the total of reality.
So we take the time to assess our values and what we feel is our shelter. Taking it to the point we can feel some sense of security.
Yes that is so important at times. And that is the aspect we will always let create issues in our faith.
I was chatting with friend of mine the other day. And we had both seen the number of times that people took faith in such strange directions.
Ever putting limitations on the Lord, always defining what is going to work in terms of trust. And bartering on the issue of sin.
It comes under the problem of not clearly understanding grace. How often that important part of one’s relationship with the Lord gets missed.
How often we want a roof made of our good deeds. To make it the covering for your lives.
But then you never know when this will be the sad aspect of just too many excuses. So sad when that happens.
What takes place in the process is the sad system of excusing sin. To let it become a case of saying I did this good deed so it makes up for the bad ones.
Never seems to occur to such people that they are not going to earn one ounce of forgiveness by good deeds. The reality is they fall under grace.
That is the true ceiling that counts. Because the Lord is the one who creates it. That does become our version, but His.
And so often it doesn’t work for us. We want more. We want to paint our color. And take credit for its design.
The whole time it doesn’t not alter the truth. God never expects us to be perfect. He just places us in the position to see how our efforts never earn that kind of favor.
Some always will take it to extremes. They will never let the Lord truly create the tent over their lives.
They will simply let it be their illusion. And that will never result in the clarity to se heaven.
Just our version of paradise.
