Proverbs 1:1-7
1 The proverbs of Solomon son of
David, king of Israel: 2 for attaining wisdom and discipline; for understanding
words of insight; 3 for acquiring a disciplined and prudent life, doing what is
right and just and fair; 4 for giving prudence to the simple, knowledge and
discretion to the young- 5 let the wise listen and add to their learning, and
let the discerning get guidance- 6 for understanding proverbs and parables, the
sayings and riddles of the wise. 7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of
knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline.
Some things you just know. This is not “common sense” it is found within sense. A type of memory deep inside, rooting indefinitely back in time.
I know I have been here before, as a conscious participant. I know God is real. I know Jesus is the way to His Father. I also know that Jesus is the way to His Mother too.
I do not believe that our planet has been here for eons yet I have been here for merely one human lifetime. This can only mean, worthy or unworthy, we are physically "born again".
Spiritual birth, on the other hand, may well begin with understanding and identifying with Jesus on an emotional level. Have we not felt forsaken, only to find that we were watched over during our own tribulations? When we can empathize and identify with Jesus we are spiritually born. As we spiritually mature, we are spiritually born again and again. Whenever we reach an epiphany, we are reborn. If we have moments where we see the road we travelled, with all of it's possible detours left behind, and we stand where we know we were meant to stand, we have just been spiritually reborn.
When I was a child, I was shocked, mortified, angry, and in tears when I watched Jesus getting crucified in a movie. I could not understand why his disciples didn’t do something! I believed inside my soul, I knew, if I had been there, I would have tried to stop the insanity. I was spiritually born that day.
Knowing Jesus may still be the way to his father. Back in Jesus' day, and soon thereafter, the mass media didn’t exist. Many people didn’t know of God, until Jesus spoke of God.
When we open our hearts and lives to Jesus, becoming "born again", it is spiritual and we can feel his love and protection. This spiritual birth brings understanding of His Love for His Son, and for us. When we feel it and we know it, we can have undoubting faith in Him. Jesus helps us build our faith in His Father.
What of His Mother though? Is Jesus not also the way to His Mother? Isn’t Her heart a compassionate heart? Don’t we share in empathy the compassion she must have felt to watch her son die on the cross? She loved her son. She knew and understood his plight and fate. Jesus' Mother has not been “feared” as much as The Father. Is She the compassionate side of God. Is she not the Wisdom behind the Power?
Within my sense I know that The Lord’s Mother is as important as The Lord’s Father.
