A Quick Short: Inspired by a Stranger

His stomach burned with pains of lacking nourishment, due to a week long fasting, but he carries on with his work as growls rise up. Only this man filled with hunger begins to gain a greater ability of self control. The daily temptations bother him less and less with each agonizing day, he grows only closer. Muscles ache and strain with every motion of his body, coinciding with a week of no food, it is a wonder how he is still standing. Strength seems to be endless, and only increases rather than logically fail. His body explodes with power, and yet without a source of power. One would think he is plugged into an outlet or runs on gasoline. Wisdom of life is seen in his eyes, dust and dirt swirls around his work, his soul shines bright through the cloudy haze. He has a lot to give, anyone can see this without even a word spoken from his mouth.
Moving from task to task effortlessly is astonishing, and as the dirt and dust beat on sun soaked bare skin, with shovels, hammers and tools he maintains and builds what he loves. With each hammer swing a new piece of furniture for his family to rest themselves on. Every hole dug for vegetation feeds the mouth of hungry children that work along side him everyday. Every room remodeled so that they might just be a little more comfortable in a well built home. What drives a man to work this hard and be able to withstand such pain?
He walks with a walk only few really truly know and understand. It is a walk of peace and serenity that allows our human form to withstand more than we know. He walks through that dust storm shinning, and able to be seen clearly. A light has been given to him that is his light and his alone, it is something that can not be blown out if protects it. This is a light that burns deep and bright through darks times. Even if it is hard to see this light it still burns strong. No one can measure it or even replace it because it is not of man. It gives us joy and peace when none is to be found in sight; the light creates joy and peace for us. He walks with this, he speaks with this, he loves with this and he lives with this light given to him.
A gift given by the one true God is a blessing; a light given to by him is hard to understand. A promise he gave us is everlasting, but we can not ever grasp the level in which this is true. Wisdom is given to us through words left by a father for us to follow. It gives us guidance, it gives us strength, it gives us peace and it gives us a light. A light to shine through dark tunnels of earth as it caves in around you. A promise to give us honest and true hope unlike this earth has ever seen. He gives us wisdom through a book that holds true through changing times, which can lift our spirits and allow us to speak with him. We were created as creatures just shy of the angels, we know God as they can never know him, God created us and redeemed us. We are his only creatures to know God as creator and redeemer, and that is our gift from him.
