Aura of Protection ~ The Old Code

Greetings Dear Reader, 

Let me begin with this disclaimer; I am not worthy of the things about which I write.  That said, one can fail and still warn others not to fail.  If not, then the truth that we have all failed in some way precludes anyone from sharing wisdom.  Clearly, we can learn from our errors and be a cautionary tale for others.  By the Father’s grace and mercy, we can be today more than we were yesterday. 

I love dragons.  I believe they existed or may even still exist.  When the movie Dragon Heart came my way, I was enamored of both the dragon and the knight.  What drew me to the knight was the old code.  As quoted in the movie, it is simple and straightforward.  It contains words we no longer ascribe to good men.  These words should always be a part of the aura we project.  Here is the old code: 

A knight is sworn to valor,
His heart knows only virtue,
His blade defends the helpless,
His might upholds the weak,
His word speaks only truth,
His wrath undoes the wicked. 

Our society rarely embraces these ideals now.  Valor and virtue are hardly known as words.  Those who claim to be righteous rarely defend the helpless.  Might is rarely used to uphold the weak.  Lies permeate almost everything.  Wrath is used to repay petty offenses instead of wickedness.  

If we are to project an aura of life and light it must echo these words.  We could spend an entire post on each of these items.  What I wish to ponder now is how closely this aligns with following Christ.  We need to be all these things so that others may feel safe to see Jesus.  

We become so embroiled in our politics and social quests that we forget that if we are not caring for what is right and good, we are failing.  We must live the old code in the light of the Father’s love.  No matter how deeply we have failed, we can begin today to reclaim valor and virtue.  

It is in the light of these words that we find the truth that can rub away our tarnished selves.  The love of the Father and the redemption of Christ can renew our courage and strength to live the code of love for others.  We can learn to project an aura that humbly lives and teaches the old code.  We can choose this day and every day moving forward to project the things that draw us to light and life.  When others approach me, I must have disciplined my life so that the old code lives within me, Dear Reader.  It is never too late to embrace this.  It is never too late to choose Christ and follow him. 

Wishing you joy in the journey,

Every human story is part of the great story that leads to the Father getting everything back to Good.
