Living lightly
We will never grow by proclaiming our rights,
Or celebrating our strengths
We can only grow when we can identify our wrongs
And wrestle with our weaknesses.
We can demand others to change,
We can demand our justice
But it is only when we are prepared to grow, painfully so,
That we can begin to proclaim the rights of others
by seeing our rights as the lesser.
When we can stand in the nakedness of our frailty,
Then we can begin to be clothed with humility.
When we fight for our rights
We lose.
When we dare ourselves to be compassionate
We begin to build a community.
My journey is to share my failings
So that together we can journey towards the light.
Justice without love is judgment,
Judgement without justice is vengeance.
Vengeance and revenge drain us all of our humanity.

Love this.
Embrace the weakness, it's where God's strength resides.
Looking back on the journey I can see so many times God was releasing a blessing that felt (at the time) like a curse.
Maybe that's why we're supposed to count it all joy?!!
Stay encouraged. You've touched millions and generations.
The best is yet to come.
Thanks James, I really appreciate you spending the time to read my little blogs.
I have wondered where you have been all these years!! Have always loved your music, so anointed. Great to read your blogs, particularly love the line - Justice without justice is vengeance. May God continue to pour out His many blessings on you.
Kind Regards,

Hi Bronnie,
I'm still here, haven't gone very far, geographically, but many, many miles personally. Thanks for finding my blog. I try to post a couple of times a month.
Keep your eye out for the next one
