"Perfect Actions"

Dream Boat

 

My Dream Boat

         After 23 years of waiting, I finally must use this for one last crossing. 

 

There comes a time in life when we must choose to decide where are hearts are truly centered. When I was very poor I dreamed of having this kayak. Twenty three years have come and gone and an extravagant granted prayer was given to me on Jeju Island South Korea. In the Bible it says, "Where your heart is there is where your treasure will be." In all truth everyones' heart should be centered on Jesus Christ and His gift of eternal life, not on material things.

 
I have had my taste of the material world for one last time and it is totally empty. As for me that also includes my kayak that is "empty" unless it holds something useful that can help other people. It has taken a long time and now I know how true it is when the words say' "One life to live and it will soon be past, only what's done for Christ will last." This boat must carry a special message to a special people; once it has been done the boat will be destroyed but the message will never be destroyed.
 
I'm tankful for the few times I have had to paddle in the estuaries of the Pacific island I called home and I'm tankful to have had the chance to paddle up an arctic river; but now it appears the time has come to simply slip it into a river and let the currents carry the message to the shores of a wonderful people.
 
It has not been easy. My recent pages betray a trial few can understand. I still have the awesome responsibility to let go of or hold a document that will open the flood gates to a hoard of foreigners who do not embrace the American ideal of One Nation Under God but rather one nation to be plundered and under their control, ready to sweep through the US. What would Love do? This is a question I must prayerfully consider, because it is connected to the love for a person in my life. This and the boat trip are connected.
 
The sands run fast when the reason your life was created comes to completion.

Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?--LUKE x. 25.

Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might.--ECCLES. ix. 10.

 

"What shall I do to gain eternal life?"
"Discharge aright
The simple dues with which each day is rife,
Yea, with thy might."

F. VON SCHILLER.

 

A man is relieved and gay when he has put his heart into his work, and done his best; but what he has said or done otherwise, shall give him no peace.

R. W. EMERSON.

Be diligent, after thy power, to do deeds of love. Think nothing too little, nothing too low, to do lovingly for the sake of God. Bear with infirmities, ungentle tempers, contradictions; visit, if thou mayest, the sick; relieve the poor; forego thyself and thine own ways for love; and He whom in them thou lovest, to whom in them thou ministerest, will own thy love, and will pour His own love into thee.

E. B. PUSEY
