Nothing is Beyond Repair

-


     "Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

  -Matthew 19:26


     In recent months, much of my writing and thinking has been more optimistic. Even in the face of an uncertain world becoming more unstable and more disorderly as time goes on, my optimism and outlook has actually increased to some extent. 


Especially when I meditate on God's limitlessness, whether it be his boundless grace, boundless mercy, or perfect justice. 


I look at the miracles of Jesus, and I see acts of healing and acts of restoration. Jesus used his power, mostly, to fix things. To repair and restore brokenness, and to heal sicknesses and blights. 


He is often called "the Great Physician." The perfect doctor of sorts, but he was also a Great Restorer. A fixer of a broken world and a remedy to a great injustice. The example He set for me when He rose from the grave was not just His own glory and victory over death. He showed that even death itself wasn't permanent. Even death itself wasn't unfixable. Even the great blight of humanity wasn't unovercomeable.


     Aside from the conventional lessons Jesus taught, the lesson I now take from His miracles, His sacrifice, and His resurrection, is to never, ever, doubt God's power and capability. Never doubt the limitlessness of His grace and mercy. Never doubt his ability to restore and repair. 


     The glory of repairing the unrepairable, restoring the unrestorable, healing the unhealable, and redeeming the irredeemable is far more glorious than any victory against any enemy you can have. As a result, God doing the impossible is just part of His resume. For Him, nothing is beyond repair. He can fix anything, and in the end He will fix everything. 


The lesson, though, for me, is that humans have the potential to fix a great many more things than we give ourselves credit for. If nothing is impossible, than any problem we have yet to solve and any brokenness we have yet to repair is not because they are unsolvable or unrepairable, it is because we simply haven't learned how to yet. We haven't tapped into the right ideas or developed the right systems, but if their are countless ideas and countless systems, then no problem is unsolvable and no brokenness unrepairable.


         I see God as not just a great judge and great king, but as a "Great Physician" and a "Great restorer." The universe's repairman with an endless amount of tools and an endless amount of ideas. He can fix anything. He can restore me, and He can heal and repair a dying world. I know He can do this, and I choose to believe that in the end He will.

No One is a Lost Cause

     There is not a single human being on the planet who is a lost cause. There is hope for anyone and everyone who still draws breath in this world. Even into eternity and the realm of God there is always hope and mercy to be found for those who lost so much and had such misfortune or detriment fall upon them in life. Jesus is the great rescuer of the lost. The great savior of sinners and broken people. The great returner of broken dreams.       To Jesus, there is no such thing as a lost cause, a hopeless case, or an impossible situation.  Even though people lose hope sometimes and sink into despair, eternity and the Kingdom of God is a place where hope never dies and the lost are found eternally, never to be lost again.  With God, all things are possible, and all those lost are findable.       Jesus specializes in the mending broken hearts and broken dreams, and eternity is a long time to have dreams fulfilled and rest i...

The Fortress of Neptune

Some people strive to turn their mind into a fortress—a Stoic "inner citadel," an impenetrable bastion of psychological and spiritual security that no danger or enemy can conquer or destroy. It’s a noble and intriguing endeavor, turning your mind into a fortress. But for myself? I would forgo the citadel and instead transform my mind into a bottomless ocean. An unfathomably deep ocean that I can retreat into, like a submarine capable of withstanding the abyssal depths. The further down you descend into this ocean, the more untouchable and unreachable you become to your enemies. It is the mental "Fortress of Neptune." Where a bottomless ocean of living water and living thoughts serves to be my impenetrable Fortress and infinite Bastion. If a bottomless ocean is my Fortress, what could destroy me? A bottomless ocean of thought and ideas. A bottomless ocean of psychological and spiritual security—indestructible and unconquerable. It’s hard to conquer an ocean and impos...

Infinitization

The Infinitization Process: A Comprehensive Exploration Introduction Infinitization refers to the process of taking a concept, thing, or system—typically understood as having limitations or boundaries—and expanding it to possess infinite depth, infinite complexity, infinite diversity, infinite nuance, and infinite dynamics. This idea transcends traditional philosophical and metaphysical approaches to existence by positioning the infinite as not merely a characteristic of God, the cosmos, or abstract mathematics but as a quality that can be applied to concepts, systems, and relationships. This process connects deeply to your previous theories on Logos, words-as-sets, words-as-fields, and the nature of infinite existence. Through this framework, the infinitization of concepts can be seen as the ultimate act of creation, transformation, and expansion.
