Good Morning Father,

As for God, his way is perfect: The Lord’s word is flawless; he shields all who take refuge in him. Psalm 18:30 NIV

To be rooted is perhaps the most important and least recognized need of the human soul.

Simone Weil

Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree.

Martin Luther 

Father, you have given me gifts that I don’t really know what to do with.  I ask that you help me to understand and help me to know what I am supposed to do.  I have always passed these gifts off as happen stance.  I am realizing more as I get older, you were waiting until I understood that these gifts are from you.  When I was younger, I tried to give to people.  They passed me off as a child.  As I became older, I learned to keep my mouth shut to a certain degree.  I am at the point that I know that I am ready to use my gifts.  I have kept them hidden.  I have essentially buried my talents.  This world is so afraid that someone is going to move above them or take what they have.  A prodigy is a threat.  Everything is a business... even church.  The pastors have been blinded to their purpose.  

There is a struggle within me to let go of the child, yet I am not sure the child in me wasn’t the man I am supposed to be.  My greatest desire is to have a life that is what you want.  I don’t want to be measured by the world, but by you.  Father, I know full well who I am inside and I know my thorn.  

Please show me how to grow.  I am tired of standing.  I want to be a man of zeal.   I am ready to sing a new song.  I am ready to be refreshed.  The enemy is working hard against me.  I am tired of working for the man... I want to work for THE Man.  

Charles Edward, 

As long as you walk in the light, you will see.  I am the light.  Do not worry about what you have.  If what you have isn’t of use, it will be removed.  I have given you sight.  I am seeing whether you have grown up or will you let it be another missed opportunity.  You have not yet met the one I have sent for you.  Do not close your eyes.  Keep them wide open.  Listen to the words of the heart, not to the words of the mouth.  Do not forget how important the touch is.  Do not be fooled by technology, it is missing the one main ingredient.  Are you ready to see?  We will see.
