117.02 glory of God is a human person fully alive

Reflecting God the Father's power at work in the world is giving glory to God, for God's glory is precisely his infinite wisdom and power made manifest in concrete worldly events. This is the service that we are called to give to God: to make manifest the work that the Father is doing in the created world.

We pray to make manifest in life all that GOD.. could want or imagine. What a wonderful goal and purpose in life. To actively seek to bring into our immediate experience more love and joy that only Jesus could understand and share with us.

This book by Joseph mentioned here is wonderful: Here is the Christian's deepest identity: we are to BE reflections, however fitful and fragmentary, of God's work as He evolves all things under Christ the Head. This is why, in the familiar words, the glory of God is a human person fully alive.

Doing what God wants done, in the name of Jesus Christ, for all the world to see . . . . Like reminding Mary and Wanda what it means to be truly alive and connected to God's love and Spirit we find all around us. . . . Wow: Acknowledgment, approval, and then thanks: the holy way of the creature in the Creator's hands.

Now more focused on SEEL Week #17: the two standards. . . And as strange as it may sound, the last page I wrote was detailing the experience of beating satan in one moment and then healing and loving someone in the very next.

My work today, and always never really accept or acknowledges satan. I know his works and desires, equally recognizing how desperate he tries to interfere with me and distract me from all that god brings to me.  But satan is NOT LOVE, so really is Not anything, not life, not God, Not worth my time, thought, effort, nothing!

I am generous with my wealth, giving time, talents and treasures to friends, neighbors and complete strangers as I am able. My wealth and possessions really are used to inspire and support this ministry and education that I provide to my neighbors. . . I Find what I have defines how I can share and serve others. 

I had to fix my pump so I could water and expand my gardens. I have to redo everything for the city code enforcement board meeting next month where I’m listed for Urban Agriculture violations again. And then I also need to fix my fence and get everything cleaned up for the homeowners insurance company that has pictures of the hurricane damage I’ve not fixed yet.

The high-point was when could get the broken nipple out of the pump. I asked Steve Nextdoor if he had any ideas and he came over and helped me get it out. It was so great to get the love and support from my neighbor with a random weekend challenge. I gave them a much of the purple sweet potatoes I’ve found around. The next day and this morning again the water was running over everything again! YEAY!!!

I’m really not one to imagine satan in anything. But instead ask Saint Joseph to guide me outside. I never put anything towards satan to even acknowledge the challenges that he might bring me, and I refuse to even capitalize his name, which this app tries to do every time I type it.

Yes I know who satan is, and have confronted and dealt with him forever. It’s kinda sad too, as I realized how he still tries to get pretty women in front of me to distract me and pull me away from all that I know and do.

Similarly in Mass today: JESUS delivered us from the power of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins (2nd reading today Colossians 1:13)

That’s where I belong, so to imagine the opposite even as an exercise is creating a crack in the doorway to allow something I consider useless and wasteful. Recognizing what is really means that it’s nothing at all. There is only Love and there is Only Jesus, all these rest is really where Jesus is not. Thus, equally I stay in Jesus and Love and have made such a effort there to step away is not possible.

And I guess the confrontation is as close as I get. And I realized I could perceive and understand the evil, the not Jesus, the not. . . Which I perceived in detail. . . Yes almost at the end of this post where the paragraph starts: “As crazy as it might be“

And still this section in SEEL wants us to recognize and acknowledge evil!?! Just not my cup of tea, the very last line speaks of imagining something in the current times, while the fight is ongoing so adding any word or comment is counterproductive.

Yes that previous link shares the experiences I see. . And it’s interesting to see deeper into those circumstances.  I mean, that one experience carried over for weeks, as I know what it means to allow evil to impact children. 

As crazy as it seems, I still never have helped my own children resolve their own similar encounters.  Emily said I was right on target the first time we met in Starbucks 12/24/20– ?? I think it was 2010? Since she left at age ten, 2000, and was gone for ten years.

Funny when I met her husband the first time, he admitted he was in Starbucks too. And then also stated he knew about her step-dad and would keep her safe away from him. Course they got the guy some drugs toe keep him stable, but the crazy perversion with children is still there. 

Oh wow, I realize now as I write, that I saw her step-dad at my son’s wedding last month. Only one picture, and that was enough. It was clean the villain was there hiding in the eyes. . . Eeeek, it’s weird how I can see it from one picture.  Or I guess one clean shot of someone’s eyes. . . Like I witnessed at the exodus meeting.

What do these words mean for me now?

What you are recognizing is how much your own family might be destined to address these issues a lot deeper than you know. You have seen the porn in your city and neighborhoods. You have witnessed and participated before. And you know this poison is more intense in the Bay Area.

I get it. . . Like the Word experience. With all the technology that is here beyond and above anything we can find anywhere else.

What you know deep inside is going to kill them.

I got this Word before. . . I mean, I’ve always said satan was dead to me already.  But clearly I know and find him very easily and often in places that I wouldn’t look or consider.

We still protect you. That image of Saint Michael spinning His Sward and Shield around you is still very clear and present in your consciousness.  you’ve seen trees trimmed and doors opened, teasing everyone about how you could walk through walls. . . And then at the Vinoy seeing how real that was still in your experiences. 

I get it, Your Word is still very powerful and PRESENT all around me. . . Thank You Dear Lord Jesus Christ, I Love You Dear Lord Jesus Christ . . .

What about this definition you found using the last words before Day 2?

As far as I’m concerned I never allow affective and emotional reactions are essentially the same thing: a person's immediate, visceral response to a stimulus, involving feelings, physiological changes, and behavioral expressions like facial expressions and actions.  lol, ok that’s not right, I always respond and always avoid evil. I’m just very familiar with satanic games and stay away and don’t play!
