I don’t want to wall myself in with mixed-up theology, but set myself on the narrow path towards heaven. —quote by poet The Journey Within Finding out, you’re all wrong; mixed-up theology is quaint. Did you forget the part about suffering saints? This is why your anger erupts; mindful, this is the test. Any prophet that found it profitable to lose his own soul in “Thus saith the Lord,” dooms followers and his “white-washed tomb” to the abyss. The journey within finds favor with God, not by believing in treasures on earth. Be still and have hope amidst suffering; admit your weakness, expose your pride; cling to the cross. Hide your face in Jesus’ hem; don’t haw; glory in salvation - that the Most Holy would save us. We can get “what we don’t deserve.” This “sinner-saint” reads the holy scriptures, looks for the truth, abides in Christ. I have and have not, either way I am blessed by knowing my treasure’s in heaven, when my journey’s complete.
