What do I have a GIVENNESS NOW to?

Riddle me this.

“The riddles of God are more satisfying than the solutions of man.”  G.K. Chesterton, Introduction to ‘The Book of Job’

…when is a riddle more satisfying than a solution?

I have a GIVENNESS NOW to riddle me this.

What do I have a GIVENNESS NOW to?

This army man’s base.

“Stand firm from having put on the readiness of peace”  Ephesians 6:15

Retreat or retaliate.  

How most men react to conflict.  

What do I have a GIVENNESS NOW to?

This complete cleansing.

“By hell, it is misery enough to see them in their mortal days taking off dirtied and uncomfortable clothes and splashing in hot water and giving little grunts of pleasure - stretching their eased limbs.

What then of this final stripping, this complete cleansing?”  

C.S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters

What then of this?







…splash.

I have a GIVENNESS NOW to this complete cleansing.

What do I have a GIVENNESS NOW to?

 The thirsting for this.


“They had found a trickle of water coming down the rock and all had drunk eagerly - Jill and Poggin and the King in their hands, while the four-footed ones lapped from the little pool which it had made at the foot of the stone.  

Such was their thirst that it seemed the most delicious drink they had ever had in their lives, and while they were drinking they were perfectly happy and could not think of anything else.”  C.S. Lewis, The Last Battle

 


..why we want water.

I have a GIVENNESS NOW to the thirsting for this.
