Tweets - November 6th - Recognized

I felt a bit down earlier - and I don't say this to trigger emotions in anyone, but it's just a statement of fact. Grieving the world, mourning the world (mourning the living), it's part of my walk with God. Ups and downs, highs and lows.

I recognized earlier that both my sorrow and my joy belong to God. I did not have such sorrows before knowing God, neither did I have such joys. And if God wants sorrowful Kelvin, then that's what God will have (it won't lead to my destruction).

I also recognized it'll take a bit more than youthful skin to fully exchange my sorrow for joy - though the balance has certainly been tipped in the direction of joy these last few months, it still teeters to sorrow every once in a while.

There is nothing I experience that God doesn't want me to experience, it's how I'm able to understand God, myself, the Garden of God, and the world.

The same could be said for anyone really, but I accept the deeds of God honestly and truthfully, and not watered down, whitewashed, assumed, or filtered through the understanding of people who've withered up and died a very long time ago.

We are intertwined. There is no you without me, and there is no me without you. I am being saved (from destruction and decay), and I recognized earlier that because I am being saved, the world is also being saved; and that joy produced by faith through the salvation I am witnessing in my flesh can also be produced by faith in the salvation of the WHOLE world. Walk by faith, all the time.

I suppose if it is possible to love the world and not grieve the world (having the scale tipped in joy's favor for long periods of time), then faith in the salvation of the world would be the means.
