Are You a Bumble?
Jaunting down I-480 east, to my summr job in Cleveland, personal reveries centered on my orchard once again. Normally, my focus would be on the nerve degeneration morning traffic I am still unacustomed to. However, this day, the sun was bright, traffic a bit lighter, framing the opportunity for a quick retreat into the mind and spirit.
I was reminded, by the One I love, of incidences when those around me have displayed or conveyed through actions, intruction, or advice; evidence of the fruits of the Spirit. There have been times when tempted to judge a person or situation rashly, a friend's perspective turned my gaze toward my opponants situation, thus fostering compassin instead of the blight of criticism. A positive fruit was implanted or pollinated.
Think of times in your life when others have fostrered sweet fruit in your life by releaving a burdon, walking with you through a storm, or sharing the delights of the fruit salad of God in their lives (enrichment from the Word). Rethink the situation and see what the outcome could have been if they God had not sent them to "pollinate" you.
Also, consider the times when you have been the happy little Bumble Bee bounding to and fro depositing the grace and love of God in others. Remember how they were changed and how you felt dusting their lives with the Truth in an appointed time.
It is much too simple to easy to allow the weeds of this world to choke out the delight of God's perspective. The world would tell you you're an optitmistic fake or and altruistic dreamer. It would have you believe you are not making a positive difference in a world which seems to thrive on sorrow, pain, and suffering. Yet, they are wrong.
How do I know this? Because God's Word and everything in my being says so. The world has told me repeatedly I cannot fly above the heartache that is a vital part of life. Yet, it is His grace which says I can. Besides, science has repeatedly cited that Bumble Bees do not have the wing capacity to fly. Bumbles pay no attention to what "experts" say. They just do what it is in their hearts...they fly, dispensing the necessary pollen for sweet fruit to grow.
Therefore, I, like the Bumbles, have chosen to ignore what the world says. For as long as God tells me to fly...that is what I shall do. However, if you see me grounded somewhere, please, take up the pollen of grace and set me to flight again....
Have a blesseed day...
