Bombarded with nonsense we tend to live a nonsensical life: sulking when we should be smiling, fearful when we could be confident, agitated when we should be calm, and faithless when we should be faith-filled. Listening to the murmurings of human thought we gravitate toward the desires sought by the masses in a effort to gain elevated status. For that which we strive, itself, nonsensical; chasing fame, wealth, and status. Taught to forge on, we wade through the struggles only to find anxiety, only to surrender to the night. Sinking into the night, we hear the battle cried of the learned; yet in our ignorance, we continue the same march, a march down the path of nothingness. This nothingness prevents the Father’s wisdom from blooming within, from being our everything. Nothingness is all consuming in that what we hear, what see see, what we believe we now mask that which we actually know. Information at our fingertips with google acting as our reprieve, we ascertain that knowledge is power and strength is in our acclaimed status. After years of pursuing such nothingness we grow tired and, eventually, exhausted, unwilling to march further into the abyss. There we stand, isolated from wisdom, filled with meaningless knowledge, unable to support our own cause, status slipping through our fingertips and loneliness our confident. We look back at our path hoping to find answers, hoping to discover clues left behind in our haste, clues acting as directives pointing to our synthesis with human misconception. So much information lies before us, nonsense, nothingness and yet we claim it as imperative to our survival; imperative to our growth yet in our haste we neglect the wisdom to grow, the wisdom to see, the wisdom to act. With this lack of wisdom we find our only friend to be loneliness; these feelings compounded with fear, carry us further from our path of wisdom. Deeper we trudge into the forest of nothingness, blinded by social acceptance while deafened by social acclaims. As strength leaves our person, we become frightened of that which we know not, frightened by such conformity which has sanctioned our position. Lost, frightened, alone, still in search of a prize which only exists in the illusionary mind of the human conscious, we know not how to act or where to act...silence a force unable to combat. Seemingly, silence to be the our death yet silence our intimate hero for it is in the silence that the soul can be heard and the heart can see. In this silence the wisdom, displaced by the mind, resurfaces illuminating our now and revitalizing our hope. Faith takes the reigns of such a force, offering abilities along with opportunities; the Father has awakened our spirit, our soul leaps with understanding. That which had been deemed important, commanding our undivided attention, now sinks into the recesses of our memory for now the heart leads, now the soul is permitted to speak and, we, now ready to listen. Though listening not a practice of human tongue, listening the aim of the heart for the soul speaks the wordsless words of the Father, the soul seeks to heal. In our search for everything we found nothingness achieved by nonsensical allegiance. Now, the message of the soul seeks not an audience but rather a commitment, a commitment to the truths of the Father, to the wisdom of the soul. Wise we become when it is the Father whom we serve, wiser we become when it is the Son whom we glorify in action, wisest yet we are when we listen to the soul, act with the heart and become humbled by the guidance of the Spirit. Wisdom is that which we seek though the mind will have us believe it is knowledge which will elevate us to power yet power is not ours to seek rather humility and service. Wisdom our path to holiness, our path to love, wisdom that which the mind attempt to cage in an effort to dominate social proprieties manifested in human consciousness. We need not search for that which we already possess; the Father has gifted us with such wisdom we need only act upon our faith. Action speak louder than words, so speak we must...act upon the Father’s wisdom.
