Another way

The truly spiritual man is indeed something of an oddity. He lives not for himself but to promote the interests of Another. He seeks to persuade people to give all to his Lord and asks no portion or share for himself. He delights not to be honored but to see his Savior glorified in the eyes of men. His joy is to see his Lord promoted and himself neglected. 

He finds few who care to talk about that which is the supreme object of his interest, so he is often silent and preoccupied in the midst of noisy religious shoptalk. For this he earns the reputation of being dull a so he is avoided and the gulf between him and society widens.

 He searches for friends upon whose garments he can detect the smell of myrrh and aloes and cassia out of the ivory 
palaces, and finding few or none, he, like Mary of old, keeps these things in his heart. sure is true!!

The focus we all must have!!! dogma doctrine are things of man talking,the life faith talks another way if we falter their is no longtime inwating o get back,  we go talk oeh master and he for gives readily, heal  scents   stagnation  is thr scent of death,,,
