Thursday Seeds | Think of the Forsaken

Who are the Forsaken?

Those that have come and gone?

Those that have been forgotten?

Those that lack something: food, money, attention?

Those that lack….home and all its comforts.

Those that are never discovered.

Why are they never discovered?  Premature death in the timeline.

Crossroads moment that changes their trajectory from you.

Are they really forsaken if you never meet them? Perhaps it’s only You who are the forsaken then.

Because I never met [this person], I am forsaken. But then also, so are they! For it is a yin and yang. If you never meet me, then I never meet you.

We both lose.

Think of them. Think of those and the others and the ones that sit in your blindspot as you move down your path and the roads that lead you to the places that you want to go.

Take some chances. Come out of your routine. (But have a routine in which to come out of.)

Where do your passions lie? Are you the forsaken?

You need water but you refuse to take the time to get to the shore. Or worse, you go at the wrong time when it’s cold, raining, and your energy is gone. Take your momentum and use it wisely. If you have a sandwich for lunch, did you hand the other half to the forsaken?

We can do that without having to risk security by giving to the panhandlers. Don’t forget the systems, the long term fixes, and the networks of people who help give helping hands to those that really need it.  If it helps you, find some folks to flock together for this. The local church is the best place for it. It’s wrapped up in the doctrine and DNA of Jesus. But if that’s not your connection, you can still get there. Seek it. You’ll find good people and good places.

Almost all you have to do is think about it. Set your intention, take a deep breath, and just love.
