Commonplace

 

 

1 Samuel 1:15 

15 But Hannah replied, “That’s not the way it is, my lord! I am under a great deal of stress.

I have drunk neither wine nor beer. Rather, I have poured out my soul to the Lord.

 

 

Unselfish desires can’t be put that way

As based on priorities appearing to self

 

Do not accept too lightly … any thought or feeling,

for in so doing it will provoke Satan to harden you.

This will simply show the world …who your master is

or much even clearer … the ‘father” you choose.

 

A spirit that is not large enough to embrace all children

Is that a poisoned spirit …but in what time and space?

Is that what blindness is to the concept of the body?

The body meaning the church, the so-called “common” place.
