Unto Us A Choice Is Given

I feel as though in this moment I have an insurmountable amount of ideas to convey and can't decide on what to say. I think my mind is crafted somewhat like a blender full of fruit and yogurt. Lots of material - lots of spinning - then lots of goop [but very tasty goop]. So now, I am left with a choice; one that I don't take lightly and one that at any given time, I'll take. I think there is a 'teacher' inside us all that wants to convey a message; a story of great magnitude or simple construction. In the telling of these stories and details, we find an ease that guides us to believe and reconstruct our opinions and patterns by which we filter and respond to life. [I reckon that was a bit wordy and confusing, but the point is there.] These choices to share and release bring about a feeling of satisfaction, if I would be so direct in saying. 

The knowledge that someone is listening, valuing, and honoring the character and ultimately, the spirit in us. 1 Corinthians 14 talks about two different ways to speak. One builds ourselves up [in a good way] and one builds the masses up [also in a good way]. We have this opportunity to edify one another and to edify our community. 

Imagine this, I begin to pray for myself and get excited about all the things I want to do or see happen. Now, imagine this - I begin to pray and encourage other people - sometimes in smaller groups, other times - in massive gatherings. I think I see a good pattern in this. To extend my spirit to others is more profitable than to build myself. Think value for your fellow man. Thats non-refundable - the best kind.
