The central purpose, and the core of a man, should be in discovery of Me

I cannot sustain the idea that man’s reasoning can move him much closer to the perfection of thought he seeks to attain. How can one flawed in behavior and thought think himself to wholeness? How can reason lead one to a central life objective of purity and wholeness of character? And how can one reject the One within whom resides, and is, the wholeness and perfection that one should seek? It is as a doctor seeking to heal himself with limited information and understanding.

I have come to believe that the fulness of life I seek has already been given and established within my life, and that it is now my task to walk with the One who has given it, to the fulfillment of its potential within me. Perhaps that is the rational conclusion.

It is as you say, how can one that is broken heal himself when he has no understanding of the deep issues that led him there? How can the imperfect become perfect? How can one know what is required for the prosperity of the soul when it is the Spirit needed for that to happen? Where does man get Spirit?

Yet man always sits in judgement, whether of himself, another, or Me. He judges actions, or lack thereof, seeks to append blame as if it is then required for the guilty party to absolve him of any. He has prosecuted and has also judged with a verdict, and now awaits recompense. Yet he finds there is none – no release, no freedom. He cannot understand why, and yet, has no other solution but to begin the trial anew. He is lost in the cycle of destruction and desiring restitution, without satisfaction.

He does not understand it is he that is guilty, not another. It is he that has brought this calamity upon himself. It is he that has sought some vision within himself he seeks to manifest and he is encouraged to continue to pursue when a piece of his search brings a small satisfaction. Yet he will never be whole by his own hand. It is an impossible task. If he would look to Me he would have all he searches for, and much he does not know he should be looking for – that is Wisdom, but a wisdom that is not his own.

The central purpose, and the core of a man, should be in discovery of Me. In the revelation of Me is the enlightenment of his heart; in Me is the purpose of his mind, his reasoning, his understanding, his revelation. It is My wisdom wherein resides his prosperity – to theorize, to invent, to bring to fruition his great potential for progress in science and technology, but even more so in compassion to another and the purposeful manifestation of healing and wholeness. None should be to the exclusion of any other, whether physical or spiritual. Man is to be complete within both and that has been My purpose within man – to reveal Myself in fullness, perfection, and glory.

Let your heart be comforted in knowing that your thoughts, your reasoning, even your feelings – though they might lead you astray at times – that if centered on Me will all reveal the fullness of joy you are seeking in life. Completeness is within Me, and I have completed My work within you; it is now the time of manifestation of that work, and it is done day by day.

What great wisdom, and understanding, and knowledge, and revelation is to be revealed to the one who walks with Me! There is no other purpose within a man’s life. Therefore, if you must measure your life to any standard at all then measure it to My words – those I have spoken over and within, those alone that are truth, those that release all things in power, those that reveal the greatest force of perfection within man – love, expressed as goodness.

And come, we shall speak with each other, says LORD JEHOVAH, and if your sins will be as scarlet, they will be white as snow, and if they turn red as scarlet dye, they shall be as wool.

– Isaiah 1.18

Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again. But whoever drinks the water that I give him will never be thirsty again. But the water that I give him will become in him a spring of water (satisfying his thirst for God) welling up (continually flowing, bubbling within him) to eternal life.

– John 4.13

The central purpose, and the core of a man, should be in discovery of Me. In the revelation of Me is the enlightenment of his heart; in Me is the purpose of his mind, his reasoning, his understanding, his revelation. It is My wisdom wherein resides his prosperity – to theorize, to invent, to bring to fruition his great potential for progress in science and technology, but even more so in compassion to another and the purposeful manifestation of healing and wholeness. None should be to the exclusion of any other, whether physical or spiritual. Man is to be complete within both and that has been My purpose within man – to reveal Myself in fullness, perfection, and glory.

The central purpose, and the core of a man, should be in discovery of Me. In the revelation of Me is the enlightenment of his heart; in Me is the purpose of his mind, his reasoning, his understanding, his revelation.

Your existence finds its ultimate meaning not in self-centered pursuits but in a relational encounter with Me. Your purpose is not something you invent but something we uncover together.

You are not merely an intellectual or spiritual being but an inseparable combination of both, and you are called to reflect that wisdom in practical ways—to theorize, to invent, to bring to fruition your great potential for progress, but even more so in compassion to another, with a resolve to manifest healing and wholeness.

Your life is to be a seamless blend of faith, reason, and action—a purposeful vision as a co-creator with Me, and a calling to discover and manifest My presence in the world. It is a call to live intentionally, with a heart and mind open to revelation, and to extend that revelation through acts of love and creativity. No expression should be to the exclusion of any other, whether physical or spiritual. You are complete within both.

That has been My purpose within you—to reveal Myself in fullness, perfection, and glory.

“Thus says the Lord: ‘Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, let not the mighty man boast in his might, let not the rich man boast in his riches, but let him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the Lord who practices steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth. For in these things I delight, declares the Lord.’”

— Jeremiah 9.23-24

Let your heart be comforted in knowing that your thoughts, your reasoning, even your feelings – though they might lead you astray at times – that if centered on Me will all reveal the fullness of joy you are seeking in life. Completeness is within Me, and I have completed My work within you; it is now the time of manifestation of that work, and it is done day by day.

God speaks to a profound spiritual truth: true fulfillment—described as the “fullness of joy”—is not found in fleeting circumstances but in centering one’s thoughts, reasoning, and feelings on Him. The tension between “already complete” and “manifested day by day” reflects the paradox of life: we are whole in His eyes, yet we grow into that wholeness through daily trust and surrender.

Joy and completeness are rooted in God’s presence, not external success. Joy persists despite material lack, and points to a resilient faith that finds its anchor in Him alone. The call to center thoughts on God, suggests a focus, where joy emerges not from suppressing doubts or feelings but from redirecting them toward this truth: that spiritual completion is an ongoing, daily process of manifestation, and is His work.

“In God’s presence, joy is not a mere emotion but a state of being, complete and unshaken, for it rests in the unchanging One.” — MacLaren

“For in him [Christ] the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily, and you have been filled in Him, who is the head of all rule and authority.”

— Colossians 2.9-10

What great wisdom, and understanding, and knowledge, and revelation is to be revealed to the one who walks with Me! There is no other purpose within a man’s life. Therefore, if you must measure your life to any standard at all then measure it to My words – those I have spoken over and within, those alone that are truth, those that release all things in power, those that reveal the greatest force of perfection within man – love, expressed as goodness.

Your life is transformed by communion with Me. Let My word illuminate and empower; see the relevance of My truths within the daily distractions. Together, they will display that the greatest wisdom is not intellectual but relational—that a heart attuned to My love and truth will express goodness as the natural outflow of My presence.

“The soul that walks with God finds His word not merely a lamp but a sun, scattering the shadows of human ignorance. It is no dead letter but a living voice, revealing the Eternal to the finite, and kindling love that mirrors divine goodness. To measure life by this word is to anchor it in eternity, where alone true purpose is found.” — MacLaren

“Do two walk together unless they have agreed to do so?”

— Amos 3.3

You have come to witness

My care for you,

for all I hold as Mine.

A shepherd’s heart beats

to nurture,

to feed,

to shield,

to guide through winding paths

toward success,

toward prosperity.

There are quiet days,

steady steps through familiar fields,

and then—

the high climb,

the rare ascent to elevations

where air thins

and the world expands.

I see your joy,

your pulse quickening

in our shared journey,

savoring the ordinary,

yet stirred by the uncommon—

moments that lift your heart

to places unknown,

to possibilities unseen,

where our bond deepens,

rooted and sure.

Your joy is My happiness.

I see your place beside Me,

etched in your heart,

your love for this walk,

your hope for what lies ahead.

It is all I have ever wanted.
