Velocity


Once, the Holy Spirit came down like a swan,
and it said to me: "YOU SHALL." Not

You will

You might

You could

but "YOU SHALL". My knees trembled and I wept.
How often do we expect answers when  we petition God with our questions?
How fearful is it when we recieve them, a numinous lesson?

We don't learn this in physics. We learn about speed and velocity
and the difference is direction. And that
is what's been given. Direction. A goal. A restatement of the Great Commission.
All authority has been given to him. Let us go and make disciples of all the nations.
