Working on an article about stewarding and completing the symbols of our lives-starting and finishing well, symbolically….came across this–

“Complete your symbols!

 If the first half of life, is finding your true symbols (who you really are), the second is more fully tending and harvesting them. The first part of the journey is finding your symbols, and what is your own land to cultivate or be formed within, in and through Him. In the latter half, you have discovered them, and need to tend them into wholeness-to cultivate and complete (make whole) your symbols into a true and fuller interpretation, so your story can be left for others to receive from.

 Now that you know the tree you are, name the bark, so others can sit beneath it’s shade.

 We, in the later half, are no longer insecure or in competition about who we are (having crossed our necessary Jordan’s or deaths to self, we have entered in, been occupied-thus, capable of occupying- and started to learn the wisdom of cultivation, the making fruitful, of our lands), we are beginning to be able to allow Him to start to whisper  the nuances of our names (the white stone whispers!)-to enjoy His articulation of the poems we are- and offer that covering for others to discover their own poems.

 To fill in His story of who we are in Him-His Testimony through us. We start to let Him tell His story through ours. The story of our lives from God’s perspective. Ask Him to tell you your story-you’ll be surprised!

 For, He is pronouncing the poems of Himself through the poems of who we are. And our task is to collaborate in blooming, and co-stewarding and collaborating into the completion our true inner symbols.So they can be seen interpreted and read by others.

Allow Him to finish the story of you. Tell you as a tale. Interpret His story of yourself, so others can clearly see it was always about Him. And, the glory of a true song, rightly sung, is about the Singer! God is our Singer. We are His bended reeds to play on and with!” Nice. I love finding thought-treasures like these.
