Scripture: Ecclesiastes 2:13
I saw that wisdom is better than folly, pharm
just as light is better than darkness.

Thought for the Day: Hank had a realization, here an epiphany of sorts. “Maybe I can’t see myself,” he thought, “because I can’t see myself.”

He immediately rushed back into his house, leaving Tom staring quizzically behind, thinking perhaps his friend had lost his mind. Hank ran into the bathroom and looked in the mirror. “Why can’t I see myself, when others can see me so clearly?” Hank asked. “Have I become a figment of my own imagination?” He started to wonder where these new ideas were coming from. He wondered about the events in his life that helped form who he thought he was. Soon, he asked the big question: “Am I who I am meant to be, or who I think I am meant to be? And how do I know the difference?”

Hank sat down in his favorite chair, millions of thoughts pouring into his mind, heart, and soul, coming almost faster than he could keep up with them. So he quit trying so hard, and just let it happen. Even though he had no idea what “it” was.

Every now and then, a particular thought would attract Hank’s attention, and he would chew it over, almost a spectator inside his own mind. It was as if he wasn’t really doing the thinking, but watching something else (someone else?) do the thinking for him. It was as if the secrets of the universe were being poured into him, and his capacity was endless. Hank suddenly found himself part of an endless sea of information, truth, and without question, the most intense love he had ever experienced.

Prayer: May I learn through the Spirit to let go of me, so that I might be filled with you, God Almighty. Amen.
