o we had to interpret th bible form teh underside (form teh veiw of the poor) an dthis was some ting I played around with and wrote to figure out the parable of the widowes mite. and no I have not spell checked it sorry. just think of it as code. :)
The widow's lost coin
SO the widow looses her coin. When you loose soemthing important you your mind starts to take over with what if, what if that happens and the possiblities in life lessen. And you start to question yourself.
What is the widow thinking: what will I do if I don't have that money?,
When will I get more.. How will I survive, I don't have a plan B.
I don't have means of getting more.
Maybe she is beating herself up for loosing the coin.
How could I be so careless, I can't be trusted. Who can turnhelp me, my husband is dead, I have no job.
she feels alone and hopeless but she have no other choice but to keep looking for the lost valuble.
Widow' thoughts: it's got to be here somewhere... I can't give up I must keep looking for it... it has to be here some where, to give up is not an option.
When it is found, she will rejioce. It is not jsut a coin found but it changes how she see's things. It changes her perspective. This is not a thing she can do with out, or frivilously throw away, it's value to her is to great and pivital to her existance. So when it is found the relief not only that it is found and she can use it to live on as it is crucial. But maybe just maybe she can forgive herself for lossing it. Maybe she can take back the things she said about herself in her head of being irresponsible and careless. Maybe she is gonna make it and the world is not crashing down on her. This changes her perspective. Her view is radically diffrent there is hope on the horizon now.
Just as Christ sometimes feels alone in His efforts to search for his lost. His own body tries to share His desire for the nations and his lost people, but you have to wonder if it is just a drop in the bucket compared to the iintesity he feels for his lost sheep. He is devoted to this task. If He doesn't do it who will. These lost are so presious,there is no option of giving up and axcepting defeat. HE will search...
And when it is found
When it is found the rejoicing hat will take place. you know when you have lost someting and you kinda hold your breath hoping you didn't really loose it. Hopeing that it is a dream and you will awae to a nicer more pleasent reality. Or do we hold our breath to not accpt defeat. Like we a refreezing time, and frentically looking for this truly missed item. But when it is found, think back for a sencond at something you have lost... Remember that time when you found it you uncounsicely let your breath out anyour muscles relaze and then this peace and joy slowly filll your body like it is climbing up from your toes to your heart. And at that moment or even that second you can do anything. Some how you are sure you could climb everest. ( thankfully this momentary insanity passes). But the joy is unexainale. The world is right, life is good and there is not a cloud int eh sky.
For just as much as Chirst yearns to see HIs little creations (from His veiw) These helpless little things come back to Him the one who loves them and protects them and misses them. And His angels are at His beckon call. And they desire to see HIs hearts desires fullfiled. They are servants to the core. So to see this happen a lost sheep come home is an amazing day. A day that they long for not every once and a while but daily. Why because their job is to have his conerns and tend to Him. So this is a victory and satifaction maybe. A job well done. and To see Chirst's heart's dream fullfilled. Sometimes we yearn harded for other peoples dreams than we do our own. So again this description doesnt do it justice, but the rejoicing in heaven that goes on when someone returns to their maker is the kid of rejoicing you feel in your toes. it takes over. The angles will rejoice on behalf of their King.
those are my thoughts...
