The emergence of writing is an important milestone in the history of the world. The records of the events and events of humanity through symbols, drawings, letters and alphabets in various civilizations, show the need of the individual to communicate with the other. And taking a leap in centuries or millennia, comes the invention of paper, the multi instruments with what is written, and a piece of coal.
Not far away (I say, in centuries), when technology was not so "essential" and you did not have free access to telephone lines, the service of CORREOS was very demanded in the desire to talk to someone. The papers written by hand, wrapped and duly sealed, arrived at a time when unrestrained urgency respects the lack of something more modern for such service.
It is worth remembering - and I have done a couple of times - that the Holy Scriptures (the HOUSE of the writing of mankind) will ALWAYS be our parameter in the reflections. And when I find something like "... and in your book ALL my days were recorded; fixed, even before one of them was" (Psalm 139: 16), get emotional.
That is surprising! All my days were written by God before the creation of all that exists; before the foundation of the centuries. Do you have a sense of what that means?
It means two important things: The first is that God, in His infinite wisdom, knows my origin, my present and my destiny; It was he who wrote. The second is that not even he knew that, I (ONLY), being able to prevent this writing does not materialize. We are able to live totally different from what God wrote about us. This is because the Eternal did not create robots, created thinking beings and that must make decisions at every moment. Everyone is free to live his story; as well as receiving the consequences of their choices. The old story that we are already discussing here: the "law of sowing and harvesting", where you harvest EXACTLY proportional to your sowing. Wanting to change what you harvest, change the seed you plant.
Once I heard someone analyze the parable of the sower (Matthew 13:23), who produce 30% would like to do good; 60% is doing the right thing, at the right time and, in turn, 100% is doing the right thing, at the right time and in the right place. A beautiful and interesting analysis. And even if someone has fun with Job's story, where he did not plant suffering, we agree that his ending was infinitely better than the beginning, right? God was (and is) in control of everything; although I do not want to; although I did not believe it.
Returning to the fact that God wrote all of mine (ours) days, each day is like a page. Our mission is to access the archive (Hosea 6: 3 / John 5: 19,20 / Proverbs 2: 1-9 / Isaiah 5: 19b) with the written pages and, with their help, call what we live, Him wrote; without scribbling, without erasing the writing, without shaving. It is to leave our sketch and move to the letterhead of God. Those who handle are letters of life of Christ, known and available to read all (2 Cor 3: 2-4). By the way, sometimes, we try to write our story with shaking hands of fear, anxiety and misguided motivations ... in a pen without ink, in a disappointed pencil, in a paper cut. Fortunately, God has a pen that does not lose ink, an eternal paper that does not fade, and with firm hands.
