I feel different today.
I see mercy.
I woke up, rolled over, and the first verse I saw was
"Let the House of Aaron now say, "His Mercy Endures Forever!"

There has been much weight as of late.
Fears of wrong decisions.
Multiple directional potential...possible opportunities..
with no clear conviction, and no clear hope...that gold sparkle that clings to a certain choice.
Just a sense of pressure and obligation telling me i should make the right decision,or ill lose it.
I dont do so well under pressure when I dont know where I am going.

I cant tell you exactly why I think this, or even if I should, but I get the feeling that
something very significant happened in the Heavenly realm. I feel this sense of being given another chance to be reckless. To try to be. To be. Im not sure I have the words.
I feel like there was an expectation of judgment, and instead we see again that the High King of Glory is an amazing person. I don't mean to diminish Him, as if I could, but I just see Him..
Looking out over a people, or a person (me) and seeing decisions based in wrong spirits, anger released in selfishness, shouting with a raised fist of blame,and i see him choosing to see the possibility. Choosing to be the God of Hope. Choosing to be the God of Faithfulness. To be the God of loving Mercy.
Im pretty sure this sounds like babbling. But its whats happening to me. I am thoroughly convinced that when I see some of these hopes in me, break through into the material realm, it will be ENTIRELY because of mercy. And not because I made the right choices.

Im giving up on being linear with this one. Going to write what I see.
I see a time of possibility. I see a time of Mercy. I see a time of breakthrough.
I see that we are in a time of incredible possibility...and it all revolves around love.
Giving. Hoping. Leaving a legacy.
We have just passed through a potential catastrophe. And the God of Mercy has chosen to be Himself.

I believe that a shift is coming.
I believe that in science, there are simple people who live a life of worship and wonder, who are going to hear the spirit showing them secrets.
I believe that in writing, art, innovation, creation...we are entering a shift....
it is justice. it is a response to the injustice of the simple being dismissed because of their simple wonderment at the person of God. The simple will offer ideas and creative alternatives to problems that have been hidden for ages. This will require continuing to walk in humility. TO remember that it was in the simple place of worship that the mysteries were seen. Because its not the mysteries that are the treasure...but the one who reveals mystery as a smile and an act of love and intimacy.
This shift comes with a warning.
Stay in simple love. Give away. Dont let the substance become your substance. Let Him be your substance...your mystery and great love.

We have arrived at a place where we must let go of failed attempts.
We must let go of failed systems...and in spontaneous community, begin to look out and see how we can serve.
Serve does not mean dogma. It doesnt mean preaching... unless you feel that call. It means to join the Father in what you see Him doing. And being willing to believe that what you see the Father doing is important...and might have a different approach than the person standing next to you.
Some see the father healing. Some see the father bathing a stresses world in music. Some see Him forgiving debt and restoring. Some see colors covering the canvas of life...others see him doggedly commited to revealing that His ways of government, business, restoration, and creativity are always sustainable and best.
HE is prolific...and he invites us to witness his passion, and offer ourselves as living stones.

I dont think that the stone walls of the Kingdom are made with uniform blocks that all look the same. They are each unique.And the mortar of love fills the gaps.
