Blessed Brother Sirvante: To What Spirit of a Man!

Well I spent this evening listening to some Johnny Cash, and reflecting on all the many different aspects of mans multi-dimensional existence, and personality.  I mean it's easy to be thoughtful and courteous when things are going well.  And we're breezing through our everyday existence with seemingly hardly a care.  But what about when life leads us into the trenches.  When we're confronted with issues beyond our capacity to grasp; or even comprehend them.  When the world just starts to cave in all around us.  And the only thing we have left for a life boat is a faded smile, and an old rusty tooth brush.  And the tent in our rose colored glasses have all faded into misty dust, that nobody cares enough anymore to even bother to help and wipe away!  But everyday you still have to get up because you still have to try and live.  Even though life seems to have left you behind.  And your only friend is your own shadow on a cracked sidewalk.  With workers standing by but no one to hold the sign.  Repairs on the way!  Thank God for Jesus!  I've seen grown men rescued from drowning;  And even though it's not considered manly, it was in their own tears.   And I've seen children given new life.  Because the young ones they had, had become too old.  And old folks dancing like young folks, all for the love of Jesus!  Have you ever heard of the term fair weather friend?  Most of us have had; or have one.  And if you're honest with yourself, in the back of your mind you think that it will be a great day, when you can have an opportunity to show them some fair weather.   I mean the kind with a big bright sun, and white puffy clouds.  With a nice windstorm to cap it off.  And then one day that friend calls you with a crises.  And the first thing that comes to your mind is what can you do to help.  Because the truth of the matter is, most people want to treat others like they want to be treated.  And if they don't they should!  Life is never as long as we'd like for it to be, and even shorter then it should be.  We should all take a little time to understand what truth in Christ is.  Because it's not the smiley happy go lucky faces that you see when your life seems perfect.  Truth in Christ are the happy, sincere, kind faces that you see when your life is in disaster.  We should all strive to live our lives in the truth of Christ!  And know that God is with you!
Bless you all in the name of Jesus!  Blessed Brother Sirvante.

Blessed Brother Sirvante: On Adversity!

Because of our innate nature to self solve many issues that confront us in our daily lives, we often find ourselves isolated, bogged down, conflicted, and confused, on matters that would otherwise;  given a clearer objective view might readily have a solution right at hand.   Thereby alleviating the need for so much unnecessary anguish in our lives.  Have you ever had one of those days when things just don't seem to go right, no matter how hard you try.  I mean, you think on it, and think on it!  And still the solution just seems miles out of reach.  So then you pray, and you think some more;  and you pray, and you think some more.  And just when you're about to say forget it!  The answer appears right before your face.  That's something I like to lovingly call, "faith walking!"  Because no matter what your problems may seem to be in life know this: God always has the answer!  We just have to have the patience sometimes to wait on it.  So the next time someone catches you deep in thought, and it seems like your world might be caving in.  Just smile and say, hey I'm faith walking!  And you'd be amazed at how much grace God will extend you along the way!  Because no matter what the problem is, Father God always has the solution!  It's just a question of FAITH!
Bless you all in the name of Jesus!  Blessed Brother Sirvante.

Blessed Brother Sirvante; On: To Walk In Peace!

Many times in our lives we face adversity, disappointment, confusion, and deception.    Sometimes even from the very people we trust the most.  It becomes difficult after awhile to know who you can and can't trust when life thrust these sorts of circumstances your way.  It would be easy if we could just close the door sometimes and all our troubles would just go away.  Because the pain of truth is sometimes just too hard to look at!  But in truth, that is when we need to pay attention the most.   God doesn't guarantee you that life will always be perfect.  And you can just dance right through it without a care in the world.  But what He does promise is an opportunity to see things right.  The choice is yours whether you want to look or not.  Offence is easy!  It's as near as the next breath out of your mouth.  The trick to success is to process the short comings in life;  squeeze them for the positive.  And then move forward in faith, knowing full well in your heart you've given all things an honest look!  No one could expect more.  And God would never ask for more.  Being true to others starts with being true to yourself.  You can't climb a mountain if you're always giving away your shoes.  But you can give someone a hand on your way up!  And to know the opportunity is there no matter what the circumstances, should always give you peace.
Bless you in the name of Jesus!  Blessed Brother Sirvante.
