| ...The Words of Truth are ALWAYS Paradoxical! To the mind that is 'Still', -the whole universe 'Surrenders'... |
So much of what 'results in a fulfilled life' is really the product of a contradiction.
"I have a job to do that is not very complicated, but it is often difficult: to get a group of men to do what they don't want to do so they can achieve the one thing they have wanted all their lives."
A few more.....
* "There is No Truth", -is a paradoxical sentence....
* "There is No Truth", -is a paradoxical sentence....
* Those who wish to be the best leaders must demonstrate true servanthood....
* Those who ultimately are given the oversight of vast regions and broad responsibilities have initially proven themselves faithful in the little things....
* The most effective form of retaliation is an absence of retaliation . . . leaving all vengeance to God.
In doing so, to quote the Scriptures, we "heap burning coals upon the head" of an adversary, which is nothing more than overcoming evil with good—another contradictory truth...!
* The way to show yourself wise is not so much by speech but by silence....
* The way to stop a loud argument is, -a soft-spoken word.
The most powerful rebuke is not a loud, negative blast, but a quiet, positive model....
* The secret of helping others mature is not more rules and stricter laws but greater trust....
* Those who are most respected for their knowledge and the skill of drawing others into it are not those who have all the right answers but rather those who ask the right questions....
* Those who give generously have much more than those who hoard....
* One lovely flower, personally picked from the garden by tiny hands, can mean much more than two dozen long-stemmed roses ordered from the florist....
* A handwritten note of love and affection lingers longer in one's memory than an embossed brand-name card purchased....
* Forgiveness is the key to handling our enemies, not revenge....
* A brief, warm, tender embrace with very few words says more to the grieving than an evening's visit full of sympathy talk and long prayers....
* Paradoxical Intent: When you re willing to Confront & Do what you are most afraid of; -you'll be Free from your Anxiety.
Thus dissolving anxiety by accepting it........!
* The 'Impossible' task of Parenting: To begin at a very early age to instruct the children on the True Values of Life: Love for all mankind, kindness, integrity, trustworthiness, truthfulness & Devotion to God, -all amidst a competing culture of materialism with an ego-centric value-system of "I, me & myself"...!
The paradoxical & tragic situation of a human is that his/her conscience is the weakest (underdeveloped / not yet matured) when it is needed most....
* The Mother-Child Relationship is paradoxical, & in a sense tragic:
It requires the most-intense Love from the mother's/father's side, -yet this very love must help the child grow away from the mother, & to become fully independent...!

Funny, isn't it?
God often delivers His best gifts to us through the back door of our lives.
In unexpected ways . . . with surprises inside the wrappings....
Shalom.... & Maranatha!
