A place for sinners like me to come find intervention divine, cast aside all their guilt &amp; leave behind their heavy burdens. A reverent paradise for the low esteemed that think of themselves to be unworthy may come to see their value &amp; know their significance. A sanctuary of hope, inspiration, power &amp; spiritual growth for all aristocrats who walk in the faith of love. Somewhere strangers &amp; followers alike can come be encouraged &amp; perhaps transformed.<\/p>\n<p>I may fall short of his glory but it feels good to come here. It keeps me grounded. It feels great to give because giving gives back to me &amp; I receive just a little bit of peace from the obedience of my participation. I probe my life &amp; my innermost being to render an understanding of positive enlightenment to share with both believer &amp; skeptic that they may conceive the principles of compassion. My internal temple is where I serve to worship as called so by no means do I idolize this blog but as an extension of my safe haven it is my personal digital holy place. Constructed of select pages torn from my very own diary. These are some of the most intimate thoughts of my soul. They are the secret emotions expressed from the depths of my spirit. It is my testimony of fellowship with God.<\/p>\n<p>I hope that if I may not be of any aid to myself then the message conveyed would help assist someone else with questions seeking answers. I pray that everything I leave God may look down upon to see &amp; be pleased with what transpires. Hence I say these things unto thee not of my own account or accord but on the behalf of my personal Lord &amp; savior in heaven above. May the content of my words make a difference in the hearts of those willing to hear &amp; the minds of those open to see.<\/p>\n<p>If it shall be anything I say that one may find comfort in then allow the spirit to delight &amp; if it is anything I speak that should cause the soul to tremble then let thy spirit be stirred. If anyone should be involuntarily pierced by the dialogue professed may I be forgiven the offenses of my sinister nature in this world of wickedness. Though I&#8217;m not innocent the product of my superlatively developed characteristics are of chivalrous intent. I rejoice in the recognition of light through the reflections of the God in me that exists. May &#8220;He,&#8221; in all his majesty be magnified &amp; lifted up.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever it is do not stress instead think of your means to success &amp; do your best to make better as due through dedication, discipline &amp; determination to make progress.That&#8217;s if you have to crawl or even take little baby steps. Do not be afraid, discouraged nor depressed. With the force that lies within we&#8217;ll get there in a sec. No matter how hard it is just keep putting one leg in front of the other. Follow me if you will as I also appreciate any comments, advice or constructive criticism to improve.<\/p>\n<p>I leave this here. I leave this &amp; hope God see my heart is pure. As I humbly come before you I am honored to reveal my face in your presence as a facilitator of kindness, peace &amp; love. I&#8217;m neither a flawless individual nor total transgressor but your chosen vessel. Thank you for allowing me, for using me &amp; for loving me. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.love-compassion.com\/rTalton\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/holy-spirit1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-219\" title=\"holy spirit\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.love-compassion.com\/rTalton\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/holy-spirit1-300x286.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"286\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.love-compassion.com\/rTalton\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/holy-spirit1-300x286.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.love-compassion.com\/rTalton\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/holy-spirit1.jpg 392w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>1 Corinthians 1:18-31\u00a0<sup>18\u00a0<\/sup>For the message of the cross is foolishness\u00a0to those who are perishing,\u00a0but to us who are being saved\u00a0it is the power of God.\u00a0<sup>19\u00a0<\/sup>For it is written:<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cI will destroy the wisdom of the wise;<br \/>\nthe intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.\u201d<sup>[<a title=\"See footnote c\" href=\"http:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=1%20Corinthians+1&amp;version=NIV#fen-NIV-28383c\">c<\/a>]<\/sup><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><sup>20\u00a0<\/sup>Where is the wise person?\u00a0Where is the teacher of the law?
