Get up! Get up!

I know there is a need for me to write much more consistently friends. We begin our true Life with a tremendous flash of Light filling what is only darkness within us at the moment of heavenly conception, but what now....? What has come of the fire within us that once raged with such an uncontrollable heat that it could not be contained? What has happened from daily awakening in such a manner that we felt the very hand of our Father in heaven grasping our own? Are we less now because these things seem to have faded with time? Are we unable to now take our place without one experience after the next? No! No! Get up! Keep moving and let us now be at the work that is only to be done by those who have known such sanctification as we have known. Let us now find each other in the field, while we ourselves are busy casting out seeds. If we have not come to understand just yet, we are in a secret club in the midst of this present world. Remember your travels, remember a look cast across a room when you and another member felt an invisible embrace. It is an embrace that comes from those who contain God's Spirit within and it is more real that any hand shake. It is more than a secret club, but only those who are a part of it understand. It is a Family really, a brotherhood or sisterhood. This is the Church friends! We have passed through fire to join and are accepted only because our Creator reached down into His Creation to make it possible.
Now, as for our journey brothers and sisters. We 'are' so much more than we were, but now it is time to be at the work our Lord has prepared for us to do. We have passed from death to Life and who cannot feel the difference when that fire is first lit, but it still does burn brightly friends. Now is the time to allow the changes that God has performed upon us to begin to infect others with His help. It is work, but it is Joy. Now is the time for the fruits of the Spirit to begin to grow, so that we may be able to do all that only children of God can. We may not know who, we may not see the results, but just the same we are to walk in a manner worthy of our Calling friends. It gets hard once we have been separated from the world and then look around with our newly created eyes without frustration in the beginning, but then all we have to do is look in the mirror and there is an abundance of frustration staring back at us for what we are too. Get up! Get up! That is what keeps ringing in these ears friends. We know that we are in need of long-suffering and patient endurance to accomplish the will of God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Just thought I'd write some thoughts down that were at the forefront of this mind for everyone. God bless you all and God be with you.
