You get hammered in life, but you get hammered into interesting shapes. Like most, I'd prefer my blessings to come without disguises! And then Life happened.......
Words that do not become flesh in us remain "just words." They have no power to affect our lives. If someone says, "I love you," without any deep emotion, the words do more harm than good. But if these same words are spoken from the heart, they can create new life.
It is important that we keep in touch with the source of our words. Our great temptation is to become "pleasers," people who say the right words to please others but whose words have no roots in their interior lives. We have to keep making sure our words are rooted in our hearts. The best way to do that is in prayerful silence.

LOL, Does this fall into the same category as maybe our "calling" is to be lavished in the Fathers favor and love...period?
I do think, it is that simple :)
Daveda,
It is indeed so simple, as a matter of fact Jesus went and got happy knowing how this profound truth became the property of babes...thank you Father that you have hidden this from the wise guys and made it known to the babes~ha!
Maybe this takes on a whole new connotation, Wow, what a babe?!
