Whose eyes could use a little more light? Or the crud washed away? Just as when we wake up, our vision is blurred. We can't see (or refuse to see) the truth that is in front of us. Unlike our morning ritual of adjusting our eyes (or as I call it....eye exercises) that allow us to regain our focus, the truth that seems to elude us to live a life of our holy calling, is at times, not so easy to regain (or gain depending upon where you are in your life). See the truth is not the feeling generated by our emotions or a "whim" that will fluctuates with our every day circumstances. It is the one thing that remains the same. A solid foundation on which to stand. A foundation that is rock solid and withstands the test of time and the wave crashing circumstances we all go through.
Oh yea! I would love to stand on that solid foundation. Just tell me where I can get it (the product), what the cost is, and how fast will it dry once I pour it? The way our funny little minds have a tendency to think. THIS foundation is available everywhere (not just on TV), its not something YOU can purchase, and how fast it dries...well, that requires a special team of experts (these are the "gift with purchase"...if you will and the value add is immeasurable). Please don't get me wrong. You will need to contribute to this new foundation but realize that your part is very small considering the task at hand.
Please O.C., tell us more.....
It would be an honor and privileged. Let's begin with where and the cost of said solid foundation. Like I said earlier, you can literally get this anywhere; television, from friends, in the quite moments you have, on the corner, in building, etc. Get my point? You have already been introduced to the product. When you may ask? Well take a quick trip down memory lane....someone somewhere at some time has told you about Christ. The product that can change EVERYTHING. For some reason, at that time, you did not agree to try the product. (Back to the present) You now find yourself seriously thinking about trying this amazing product (or you may want to gather more information...for those desiring to gather more info, I must refer you to the information booth; your local church or a Christian friend).
You are ready to try it...so go pick it up. There is no cost to you. It's free. We all LOVE free things. So what are you waiting on? You can only get this product by going straight to the manufacturer. If you have the number and you are at home, call God. If you are at the information booth, ask one of the representatives to be on the call with you. However YOU have to do the talking. Once you have initiated the call, tell God how you feel. Tell Him the you know you are sinner. Tell Him that you believe that Christ (the financial backer. He paid for the product...given His life freely to those who accept it) came to die for your sins and how you want that death to count for you. Confess and believe in the jaw dropping product brought to you by God himself.
...and wait...there's more.....
You are now the privileged participant of a new relationship. In this relationship, the new foundation can begin to be built. Like I said before, you have a "gift" that you will need to access to help not only get started but continue the building process. Heading up the team of experts is the Holy Spirit. He will work intimately with you. You're access to Him is 24x7 365 (366) days a year and vice versa. He also has others that work closely with him. So you can hear from Him directly OR through one of His many associates. At anytime, you may contact the manufacturer directly. You will need to purchase the instruction booklet (the bible). It is available at the information booth or at any local Christian book store. There are consultants and other representatives there to help you get the booklet the best fits your needs.
Now you are on the road to building your foundation and keeping it strong to withstand many elements. Each piece of your foundation is God's truth. Truth in and of itself is strong but for us, we need to stand on it, believe it, immerse ourselves in it to be built up. We can't be strong without this truth. You will find when you learn a truth you will be tested on it. You will have to try it and from that it becomes truth you believe in. Thus building a stronger piece of foundation to stand on. God's truth has already been tried, tested and approved in ALL circumstances. There is no exception to this. It is the thing that will remain when all else is gone. God's truth...everlasting and eternally sound.
~O.C.
