Inverse-Ecclesiastes, Chapter 3

3 Under the new economy of Heaven, there is a new season and a new Way for every matter upon the earth:

          an opportunity to be reborn, and a chance never to die;
          a call to plant seed, and a sending-out to reap the harvest;
          a cheek to learn to turn; and His touch, through us, to heal;
          an enemy already vanquished, and a Kingdom to upbuild;
          a heart to weep with those who mourn; joy to laugh an honest laughter;
          a comfort, within, everyday; a dance prepared for the Wedding Feast;
          a freedom from judgment, and freedom from the need, ever, to judge;
          a love that embraces all, and arms to be His own embrace;
          a seeking that always finds, a losing-all that wills to gain all;
          an eternal invitation, never to be lost, and no time to be lost in its enjoyment;
          a Voice that calls away, and the same Voice who sends out;
          the joy of His quiet presence, and the ecstasy of His alive life:
          ever loved, freed from all hate and hatefulness;
          sent to a cosmic battle that is only to be won through His peace.

     What an unbelievable gain has the disciple in what he does for Jesus! I myself have experienced the joy that He has given to His sons and daughters, when consumed with that wondrous work. From within, He makes each of our days a journey with Himself. Yet, even still, He has made this Way an eternal pursuit: the day-by-day of life is swallowed up in the everlasting; the infinite. And I have learned that there is nothing higher, nothing better, than for us to live out His joy, His peace, so long as we live; also that we should learn, in quiet trust, simply to wait upon His provision—it is His promise unto us. 
     I have found that everything Jesus has done is “finished,” accomplished; the reconciliation of God and man is complete in Him. Every man, woman and child stands at the precipice of salvation; that which is done for them abides: God seeks to save all--through us.
     And under the reign of the Son, there is eternal justice by bestowal of His righteousness, even where there was only wickedness before. He says in our hearts, “I came, not to judge the world, but to save it”—this was the purpose of His time, His ministry, His work. Too, He tells us that as sons and daughters of His, He will use all of our circumstances to train us and to purify our hearts. What happens to us is never in vain; as tragedy strikes, or uplift comes, He is working out His will in us. All we’ll ever know will come to us through His hand; there will be nothing in our journey that lacks His purpose and meaning. For all of it leads us back to Him. We are His work, and we walk His Way in His direction. We know where His Spirit within us tends: following after Him is leading us ever Heavenward. Thus I know that there is nothing higher, nothing better, than that we should rejoice in Him today, for that is the true heart of abiding.
     Who can separate us from the love of Christ?
     No one.
     And nothing.
