In His Likeness w/ AntTBri

Every life mirrors the truth of the words we speak to God, ourselves, and others.  We were made in the likeness of the Godhead, having distinctive characteristics that manifest through expression. Creative ability has been infused within us; it’s a part of our make up.  Everything that comes from us is produced from this powerful tool.  Potential is housed within our verbiage. We were made to dialogue, and interact with the plan and purpose of God.  Humanity joined the God head through spoken word, and is being sustained through written word as we become the very essence of His word expressed earthly.  It is a continuum of progression reliant on the very same exhale of our origin.

How awesome was it that the first man exhibited God’s intent for our purpose?  He honored God and the workmanship of his hand by what he said, and declared things to be.  The creation images the creator.  The creator of all things added dialect to vision, and branded all his creation with the title of good, his creation manifested that good through its life expression.  What an opportunity we were given dimensionally, first in being what we were made to be, secondly in sharing that being with the rest of creation, both reconciling agreement and glory . The first son mimicked the father and said something. What he said was the direct inclination of what was perceived and gathered based upon the external stimuli of presentation.  He attests possibility, easily observed portrayals of purpose concurring agreement with the plan and heart of God.  Have we lost forever the simplicity of total trust, expressive agreement in our humanity?  Are we appreciating or disagreeing with his heart toward us?  Are we emulating his characteristics?  What are we saying in relation to love?

What we say about love predicts what we feel about love.  Words establish relationship, provide cohesiveness among our beings and mirror the positioning of our heart at any given time.  They are more than what we hear with our ears, or see with our eyes; they exhaust cognizance and emotion and enter into the spiritual realm.  The words we speak grasp the attention of divinity interconnecting or disconnecting us from the essence of our strength.  The promise of love begins the moment you utter agreement with the plan and will of God for your life and heart.

Interestingly when we think of love relational(ly) significance is established within the marriage ceremony.  Two words seal the promise of commitment; two words verify covenant between three hearts establishing a connection that shouldn’t be easily broken. “I do” bares the weight of agreement and constitutes the direction of pursuit.  There are a host of aids to assist and customize the symbolic expression of such a union… detailing the ceremony… to the couples most times bride’s vision of perfection; the outcomes are varied yet beautiful in their own right, the atmosphere stirs passion and appreciation for the concept of love found and shared forever.  The wedding is considered one of the biggest events of ones life… it’s a public display of accomplishment, declaring I’ve found some one to love.  Do we put the same effort and energy into the particulars of the words we utter during the ceremony?  How much do we invest in ensuring the longevity of its proclamation?   “I do” is personally uttered at the given time during the ceremony yet expressed for a lifetime, the truth of the declaration is proven through time and experience it begins the journey in togetherness.  It means so much at the time, but gains more momentum after overcoming obstacles, opposition, disappointment, failures, fears, and every other attempt of demise that makes it remarkable and enviable.

What would happen if we placed the emphasis on living out those words, how much richer would we be?  Would we start out slow but end up strong?  Words verbalized produce expectation of outcomes, putting into motion the actions portrayed that will prompt response.  Is it unreasonable to hold each other accountable to what we say?  Are we really a society that believes it’s not what you say but what you do that matters?  Or are we a people who say one thing and do another?  Is it possible to live from a platform that intermingle the two?  What if the words we utter nurture and produce the things we do, the life we live?  If so “I do” would produce life with another promising no doing the same thing with you, creating collaboration that is being celebrated during the ceremony.  Is this the original intent for words spoken?  Were our words always meant to create visionary exploits, produce life?  Or were they meant to brew contradiction? What is your promise and proclamation of love and life saying? Say something…~AntTBri
