The Redemption Artist

-


There is an artist from another dimension. A painter of sorts. His paintbrush paints the stories of people's eternal lives. He paints their ups and downs, their sins and successes, their hopes, their dreams, their aspirations, their loves, their hates, their beauty, their darkness... their redemption.


He is the redemption artist. He relishes the opportunity to paint a redemption story. When a mistake happens for one of his "paintings," he savors the opportunity to paint the person's redemption from that mistake. 


He has a soft spot for the worst of people because their mistakes make the best redemption stories. 


This artist knows the first rule of glory. Glory never comes from doing easy things. 


The more tragic and horrible the mistake was for a person, the harder it is to redeem... but the more beautiful and glorious it is when you redeem it. 


The redemption artist thoroughly enjoys painting redemption stories of the worst of people because the paintings are often masterpieces. Beautiful masterpieces. 


The worst mistakes make for the best of redemption.


For the Redemption Artist, none of his work goes without a redemption at some point, even if that redemption happens quickly or takes many lifetimes and ages. None of his subjects go without being redeemed.


Some may take longer than others, but they are often the ones that are the masterpieces.

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.
