A Meditation on Revealed Goodness

“4 Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. 5 Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; 6 do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. 9 What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.” (Phil 4:4-9 ESV)

Revealed action items, as normal day-by-day harbors help and coping to the Pocket, to the Acceptable, to the viral and wartime Readiness: all and one sudden of a moment we are delirious, sickbed-laden, only making it thus far and no longer. Only that we are by nature Revealed and still Alive, still Youthful, still amazed: it was almost incredulity that settled in, the fact of being gracious and pugnacious, aggressive and calm, peace and stepping forth.

We were by nature revealed and sadly acting no longer but Tomorrow Revealing and Action Items again, second time around, third time around: we are Coping and Decisively aggressive and calm, not in that sick ward of all the ways suddenly we have gone Silent and Repetitive in loose cannon call: we are not faultfinding and lugubrious or legion of Experience Awaking and For Real heading us down the pipes. Those pipes, we are Today Acting and Alert, wisely awaking post-delirium, post-hardship, post-heartfelt breaking ways.

The Today Action Plan is us nursing at God’s plaintive Word and Nursing and Breast. After all we are still actionable and itemized as going Worlds no-man can approach, only that we are miraculously Awake and Urgent, Coping and sliding scales untold and hopefully Engaged. The passing quietude, the passing Urgent Acquaintance with a slower Mindset: this passionate Encounter ends any and all self-imposed hate, with self-imposed Accepting and Living Into the sentiment. The sentiment is that we are Still Awake and Urgent in doing well by the by-and-by.

Doing well regarding Acting and Engaging Tomorrow’s War unimpeded, unrestrained, unhindered. We are unhindered and Equating this and such with Tantric Unrestrained goals and action plans. We are no longer equating with the by-and-by church life as somehow calm and relaxing; no, church life is rough-edged Hellos and Goodbyes, while a Discovered unchurched or perhaps churched Life Together revolves around Bottomless Unrestrained Experience: we are Experienced and Calm in the reverberating End of all guilt and end of the fear of Waking Greeting with one another. We greet… but the church also must learn and accept us weeping and revealing even the sadder climes and the more guilty worries. Our guilt is indeed the fact that we Worry and Doubt; God equates our day’s labors with a Determined Fact: Already, son, daughter, you are Forgiven. Already, you are no longer a plaintiff Sinner, but are revealed and upheld as Good Folk.
