When Peter
Parker lost his Uncle Ben at the hands of a thief he had allowed to escape it
changed him. The line that rings in my
mind when I think about it is, “With great power comes great responsibility.”
In that moment
of loss something inside Peter Parker changed forever. His heart embraced the truth that he had a
responsibility for his actions. It took
great pain and loss to bring him to this point.
I will ponder that part a little further down the path. The loss was the catalyst. The point here is the heart.
As we seek
to embrace our super power we must begin within. We must acknowledge that we have a responsibility. We must see that to use it for gain or a
selfish purpose is wrong. We must admit
that to hide it is selfish as well. We did
not ask for it. We did not seek it. We do, however, have it and must align our
hearts to this truth.
Once the
heart is set to use our powers for good a new dawn can break on who we are becoming. It is never too late to begin to do what is
right. It is never too late to change
our hearts. As long as there is breath
there is hope. True heroes are first
born on the inside.
There are so
many dangerous implications to embracing this thought. I become accountable for so much more than I
wish to face. Then again is that not the
purpose for the change, so that I embrace the impossible and insurmountable in
the name of higher ideals. If I cannot
recognize and fight the evil within how can ever hope to make a difference
outwardly?
Wishing you
joy in the journey,

Jesus said to them, "That is why every writer who has become a disciple of
Christ’s rule of the universe is like a home owner. He liberally hands out new
and old things from his great treasure store."
