Change
Comes
(WC-369)
It was a dramatic time.
The skies seemed to always be a somber gray; all of nature was mixed in turmoil between continuation and despair. Daylight saw filtered cold and haziness. The nights were absent the moon and even a
single star. Even in this, promise was on the horizon.
Maybe, it began as a simple act of change. The
optimist would see it as a scratch into the reality of what had
always been; a small tear across the grain of continued sameness. Sometimes, it
is simple things which reveal the promise of a new future.
He had been groomed from his birth for this
time. It began with small choices he made in his life that started to prepare
him. Decisions and tests constructed to direct thoughts to a desired qualities
when others would see them from their perspective. His inherent character was
gradually strengthened through his choices which he made in harmony and wisdom
that some thought was beyond his years.
Maybe, these things strengthen human edifice;
he would be one who stayed faithful and true to his word. And to others, all his acts are
considered good and beautiful.
The Father spoke to the Son.
Maybe, it was wisdom he had
learned over his lifetime; but, it felt like it was time to give comfort to
those who would seek it.
He stepped forward, knelt and
took the scroll from the right hand of the one sitting on the throne. It
promised hope.
“Father, I am prepared to be
brave.”
A father spoke to his son.
His father continued, “These
are the phone numbers for the neighbors. They
may stop by to check on you.”
Maybe, to those unaware of how
a simple unfolding of life can hold deeper truths, this all sounds of a simple
mundane night. Jesus, too, lived the simple life of a man.
This night was the beginning
of a change. In the sky, a single promising star broke through the clouds.
