How the Grinch Didn't Steal Anything

You know how the Grinch tried to stop Christmas from coming, and yet it came anyway? Nothing he did could stop Christmas, whether it be taking the traditions, the decorations, the gifts. He took away the familiar and the sacred, but those silly little Whos were able to recognize Christmas when it came anyway, though it had a different form than maybe it had had in the past.

What is Christmas, anyway? We all know the story of how Yahweh sent His Son to the Earth as the greatest gift of all for mankind. He sent Him completely, not reserving or holding anything back, and no matter how King Herod or circumstances tried to keep Him from coming, He came anyway, in a place and form that nobody expected a King to come, let alone the Messiah of Israel and Savior of the world.

How many people try to stop the Love of Yahweh from overtaking them in their lives? For whatever reason--usually some form of fear or a misunderstanding that can manifest in anger or resentment--they flee from the Love of Yahweh. They try to keep it from coming in their lives, whether by acting foolish or refusing to receive it.

But I would say that not one person in all of creation has ever been successful in avoiding the Love of Yahweh. It may come in a different form. It might take a different path to arrive. It might arrive at a different moment or time. It may not look like was expected. The recipients themselves might not even recognize it at first, but eventually they will see. We will all see.

It came just the same. It always has. It always will. For Yahweh is ever faithful.

Build Your House on the Rock!

This is the story of the wise man and the foolish man, the first being the man who built his house on a Rock, and the second being the man who built his house on sand. We've all been taught that this Rock is Yahshua, or Jesus as we may have known Him, and that the sand was this world. Many of us have happily agreed with this parable, secure in our salvation and that we have chosen wisely to build our houses on the Rock. (This can be found in Matthew 7:24-29). And that is all well and good, but as always, there is more than what we've thus far seen. Let's look at this parable again from a new lens. There is a process that we go through in our existence and creation called Questioning. The Questioning is a beautiful gift from Yahweh because it allows us to have freewill, while at the same time safeguarding our lives and gardens so that we cannot damage them with our choices. This Question is put to every choice we make: Did Yahweh really say? Is Yahweh Yahweh? These Que...

Give and It Shall Be Given...

Luke 6:37-38 says:  “Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned.   Forgive, and you will be forgiven.   Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your   bosom. For   with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.” We've been taught in religion that this means that we must do good for others, give them generously all that we have, and after we do that, we shall reap the same rewards that we have measured out to others. We have been taught that the first thing we do is toward others, and that then because of that, whatever happens to us will likewise be good (or bad, depending).  Ironically, the Christians look down upon the Buddhists while preaching the same thing: karma. I would like to look at this a different way.  "Instead of judging others, write your own Covenant with Me. Together We shall determine what is ...
