Greetings Dear Reader,
I ponder often how much of what we do that we would not do
is a matter of will. We choose what we
do. Others make their own choices. One
cannot be forced to do anything if one is determined to change. It comes down to how much of life you are
willing to give to make a thing different.
Still, no matter what your past, you have the right and
ability to change whatever you will. When
we believe this, we are able to put things into motion to make matters
different. We have to choose though. We have to act. We have to move.
If I have that power then so does anyone else. Where we fail is that we do not create that
opportunity for others. We may try. The problem is that we put a time limit or
boundaries around the trying. Love
demands that we always hope and believe that others can become their better
selves. It says that we must always
forgive. We do not get to proclaim, “He
will never change.”
Others changing and our allowing them the freedom to do so
is a choice. It is an act of will. It is choosing that we will love others and
believe that they can change. We must do
so without expectation or demand. We
must show our love and hope.
In the same vein, I must always look for the ways in which I
must exercise my right to change. I do
not need anyone’s permission. I must examine
my life each day and look for what must increase or decrease in it. That is a primary purpose of this writing
Dear Reader. We must choose every day to
change for the better. We must exact our
will upon our natures and follow Christ more closely.
Wishing you joy in the journey,
Aramis Thorn

He liberally hands out new and old things from his great treasure store.”
