Thus saith the Lord...
Keep my counsel for I have called you to understand me by the interaction between us and not simply by listening to the direction of other men, whose interests are often limited to the goals of their own lives, which forego the asides to learn new lessons in the Spirit, which will otherwise enlarge them to meet the needs of others at the same time, by realizing the inherent harmony only possible within the diversity of my faith and giftings. For they will seek to understand a thing by putting it into a context of their own making, which is convenient for their own work, even though it places limitations on those round about them by trying to get others to walk in lock step with what is important to their own direction, as if it was all one only by imitation and similarity. In my Kingdom, "there is a diversity of gifts and a diversity of operations even of the same gift", so that no man is pigeonholed by the limitations of what he lacks but is adapted by the divergence in his life and abilities to become something more than he expected, but perfectly adapted to my expectation for the future. For your lives are not about the past, as much as they are about the future, and about the changes that come and the growth of your character, through dying to your past limitations to find present fulfillment, "which is always exceedingly abundantly above and beyond all you can hope, think or ask", because the limitations of your past have not yet brought you to the place of understanding what might yet be, as you die to unfullfilled hope as disbelief in the smallness of the seed in the ground being able to grow and eventually bear abundant fruit, which was not at first based upon the faith to believe, but the willingness to sow, until you learn to simply believe my word to you, declaring what "eye has not seen and ear has not yet heard". This is my word to you.
Amen.
