I sit in my office, brimming with excitement and anticipation for a future never contemplated, never entertained, never thought possible. It is amazing when one’s life goes beyond simply “making sense” to “being so very clear.” The difference between sensibility and clarity is a matter of degree—the former simply being a case of a logical, acceptable and progressive trajectory; the latter being an absolute understanding of where past, present and future are seamlessly coming together. This clarity is a witness to a life not accidentally constructed or whimsically contrived, but purposefully unified where all events rise and converge into the culmination and consummation of the very moment which embodies the future. I had one of these moments today. When I saw my life not as some random set of experiences, but a meaningful narrative with an intricate, elaborate plot leading to the current chapter where the story doesn’t just make sense, but perfect sense. It is an amazing high when these moments occur. Today was perfect because of it. I was able to dream and discover today that these dreams are actually in reach. What I discovered was not a particular epiphany, but it was an insight whose revelation will undoubtedly affect the course of my life—regardless of the response. I saw my life’s unity today. I will not forget it. It was clear. It was a blessing to come to know toward what one’s life can be directed and how all that one has done will be called upon for that task. We are in God’s hands, as it has been made clear to me today. And those hands are ever mindful of an ordered plan—“God draws straight with crooked lines.” My life has been a conglomeration of seeming miscues, spontaneous tangents, random extraordinary opportunities and blessings. It has plotted me in so many places. And today, despite its sporadic nature, its crooked path, I saw the straightness that God’s Hand has wrought for my life. The happiness that it brings is indescribable. At best, I can only say that I am on fire. Praise Him!Thursday, October 21, 2010
A Burning Clarity
