 14/06/2025

God knows that I am still living after so many years fundamentally as did the child that became first aware of  my responsibility for my personal sin some 80 years ago. I can remember childish greed, jealousy and the dishonesty with which I tried to hide these manifestations of the selfishness which is still the source of the disquietude that prevents me from being consistently at peace with God.

St Paul, however, has complete confidence that Christ's self-sacrifice has achieved its objective and continues to live and preach the life of the Resurrection brought about by the literal "topsy turvy" and total conversion which inspires everything that he has experienced and preached since then even to the martyrdom with which he seals his own being in perfect imitation of Christ.

I thank God that I can read and not only understand Paul's perception of IAMFATHERSONANDHOLYSPIRIT but also believe that his interpretation of the Way, Truth and Life revealed by Jesus and by his legacy to his Apostles is the only way for all of us to live our lives in a way that is pleasing to Our Father.

As I tried to concentrate half a minute or so ago in 2025 on what Paul had written to the first generation of Christians living in Corinth  nearly 2000 years ago I was able to maintain confidence with heartfelt thanks in the Resurrection Faith that is still the same today as it was then. 

I also knew, just as did St. Paul, that the first friends of the Incarnation were still living and teaching not only "every word that comes from the mouth of God" but also proclaiming every deed of Immanuel. Our Father ensured by the contemporality of the Incarnation with Roman road-building that it was possible for the Gospel to spread "throughout the world" as quickly as it could ever have done before "those days".

Jesus brought forgiveness for the entirety of Sin and so in his teaching warned us also that every little disobedience even those of our childhoods are an offence against the perfect goodness that is IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT. 

He has not abolished the "Law" but perfected it. I am, however, still far from perfect. I am still the "little child" that has to be allowed to approach the Lord. I cannot come to the perfect peace that "surpatheth all understanding" unless I completely overcome the  childishness of pride that begins with " King baby" screaming and shouting not only for the nourishment of food but also recognition of "being" that has to be subdued if we are to live in our right relationship to God.
