The Ways of the Kingdom
I have heard an interesting conundrum that wonders: “it seems that the most prophetic people, who speak words into so many hearts, appear to be the ones who are most directionless when it comes to knowing how to forge ahead on their own paths.”
Now there is an illustration of both heaven and hell which I am fascinated by. Hell is pictured as a giant dinner attended by persons whose arms have no elbow joints. They are only able to look at the feast before them, as they cannot manage to bring the food from plate to their own mouths, starving as they can only covet the food before them. Heaven is occupied by those with the same arm, who attend a lavish feast, but are used to taking the food and feeding the people around them, in the process enjoying every delight themselves.
I think that in God’s Kingdom, even the least of those who are inclined prophetically can give “bread” to each other; it was meant for those who are gifted to be just as nourished as the rest.
