The Buddha Three

See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil ... of these three, which do you suppose is acceptable to employ as a life rule? This, of course, is a leading question, and while you consider your answer, I will give you mine. Speak no evil: this ought to be a way of life, but alas, we humans have hearts filled with evil, and the only way to clean them up, is to have Christ's strength surging within, so that our tongues do not wag with wickedness. 

I am observing an interesting phenomena. There are some sweet treat people that have candy mouths that only speak delight, and when words hit their ears with sour notes, they try their best to sugar coat them, to make them palpable, because they cannot tolerate any form of bitterness. This makes me wonder if I am wormwood to them, some kind of sourness to their souls. The sweet treat people initially attempt to reason with me, try to get me to sample the saccharine side, then they become a little irritable, and finally, when they can no longer stand what I stand for, they retreat, lurking in the shadows. They reappear sometimes, letting me know that I am a curiosity to them, but they keep their distance; wormwood is too bitter for their taste buds. 

Matthew 10:16

Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves

I am a sheep, as most are. There are ravenous wolves roaming about, and the sheep don't always recognize them, but I do, because I hear my Father's voice warning me to be aware. I would like to be perceived as a harmless dove, alas, I think I am seen as a trouble making snake that sees evil, hears evil, and speaks evil, when I attempt to warn the flock that they are about to be consumed by the hunched and ready to pounce wolves. 

I think of all the covid criminals and how they roam about, weaving their way in and out of the fold. They wore masks, spoke likes, but the sheep did not see them as they were and still are, because God kept them blindfolded from truth; because the flock preferred trickery, they preferred to be misled, and they still do. They are like the monkeys, or buddhas three, seeing, hearing, and speaking no evil against those that openly perpetrated killing crimes against them, their family members, and their neighbours. If I am bitter wormwood to their candied mouths, so be it. I will see and hear for them, but I will not speak the devils evil, I will speak God's judgment and truth and hope and pray that they see the murderers as they are. 

I pray for bitter sweetness in the Lord for all. It makes me bitter to see the killing, and it gives my heart sweet solace to go to the One that died for the sins of the world. He is my comfort. 

I do see something quite lovely happening, dear reader. Christians appreciate and covet new born babies, and it is the shed blood of the innocent crying out from the ground, that is now awakening the protective side of those that belong to God. It is a sticking point, a bone of contention, as so many want to believe the best of the people that happen to be their politician of choice; and yet, babes are devalued by the very same politicians, as evidenced by the laws, that do not forbid the taking of their lives in the womb. 

I see that people did not hold to account the progenitors of the covid scam. I hear that they want to hold on tightly to the ones they have deemed worthy of their worship, singing their praises and refusing to hear the murderous messages still boldly spoken. I notice that the sweet treat people refuse to see evil as evil presents itself, but when babies are mentioned, something softens in them, and I am grateful for this, because I do believe, that the heart of God is in those that cannot stand to hear about abortion.

While there is breath there is hope. I hope for people to see the Author of life, consider his wrath and judgment regarding murder, and that they turn their gaze in his direction, and away from mere humans that can not fix what they broke, or save those that they sinned against. 

John 1:1-5

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehend it not. 

I pray for a brightening of sight for all that are on the cusp of having their blindfolds removed, with their consciences screaming at them to see evil, to hear evil, and to speak truth unfailing for all to hear, so that many more souls are saved.
