What have you Become or in study to Become?

Abeautiful story for you..... Stone and the Flower -Unknown Author "You have hardened", said the flower, bending her petals downward toward the half stone at her roots. "These rains should have softened you, made you more fertile and receptive to the seeds of the fields; but no. You have accumulated minerals and have become more silent and full of calcium. Why do you stay here? Why do you resist the brook that gives us water?" The stone said nothing. A number of clouds passed by, the sun set and the night arrived with an immense bronze-coloured freckled moon with acne scars upon her worn face and in this manner reflected down upon the silent stone which still had not fallen asleep. The flower, by now, had tucked-in her petals and slept profoundly, and at this time the stone began to answer: "I stay here because your roots have made me yours. I stay here because it is no longer about my feeling the earth rather because I have become part of that which functions as a support of your stem which resists the wind and the rain. Everything changes, my sweet flower", said the stone, "but I stay here because love is that microscopic space between your feet and my salted skin. You would only be able to feel it if destiny were ever to separate the two of us." The moon followed the fade of the stars. Dawn gave a yawn as the sun began to burn its horizon on the lower lip of the mouth of a new day. The flower awoke and extended her beautiful petals. "Good morning", she said, "I dreamt that you were singing to me. How foolish of me, don't you think?" The stone said nothing.

To(((Just Be))),Better...Christ-like... Dying to self,is not appealing to the soul but neither is missing the mark,to the spirit

. In study to become an empty vessel ... The emptier the vessel, the fuller it becomes. Enabling the experience of really really being alive, with every nuance and feeling and experience of life and "Being" magnified joyously a thousand fold . Namaste .

I've been thinking about this for a few hours. This is the only thing I can think of: to become Myself, only more so.

Become what I am by casting off what I am not, took some 60 years though!

To just be,...and what a paradox, indeed, that i perceive that i must study to just be what i already am...i, in fact, have studied to lose the false identity i am not...perhaps i should unstudy and just be... i not only Am That I Am, but... i am also Sirius

A creator just like my maker. "What Nature is to God, Art should be to man-- a sublime, beneficent, genial, and warm creation."

Approved unto God, dear sister : ) Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 2Timothy 2:15 Because Good and evil became all mixed up, by eating of THAT tree of THAT knowledge....we must study to show ourselves approved unto God.....a workman not needing to be ashamed of anything....for we are trusting the very spirit of Truth to LEAD and GUIDE adn BRING US Into ALL TRUTH.... the expectation "Destination ALL TRUTH" has been set on course and as we keep our eyes on His the Author and finsher of our faith we will arrive at the destination.... Destiny is recognizing and submitting to His Help along the way and the Destination is Himself ! The Beginning and the END is not only his name...it is who the Son of God is.... For the Father is "without beginning of days or end of life".... What do you study to Become? But as many as received him, to them gave he POWER TO BECOME THE SONS of God, even to them that believe on his name: John 1:12 Romans 8:19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. Romans 8:21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. thanks for asking the Q....Just BE all that He foreknew for you and you will BE as He eternally planned and prepared for you in His Son...Christ is the GLORY...or Hope of Glory of us ALL : )...."Who hath saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus BEFORE THE WORLD BEGAN," 2Timothy 1:9 much love to you, Just be in His Love : )
