Deuteronomy, Chapter 2, Verse 4
Command the people: You are
now about to pass through the territory of your relatives, the descendants of
Esau, who live in Seir. Though they are afraid
of you, be very careful.
Those that are beloved by God are those who revere and
follow His commandments. When we are infused with the Spirit of God others
can see it because the spirit within us is reflected in our physical presence. When
we receive the blessing of God; those who are not in the spirit can become
afraid of you. Our Lord wants to remind us even those who are close to us, even
those who are relatives will be afraid of us and we must be very vigilant and
be able to see in them simultaneously the humanity of Christ; to have peace
while waging a war with evil. This peace comes because while in the presence of
the Holy Spirit; we have heard things that cannot be put into words and we have
experienced the truth mystically. By this truth we are compelled to follow
Christ and at times we too must pass
through the territory of our relatives; yet ever continuing our journey with
Him. For in truth those who do His Fathers will are His brothers and sisters.
All I have seen teaches
me to trust the Creator for all I have not seen. (Ralph Waldo Emerson)
Faith is like having a
telescope that allows us to see the distant that others cannot perceive.
