Cain (the brother of Able)

John 1:12-13 

12 But to all who have received him—those who believe in his name—he has given the right to become God’s children 13 —children not born by human parents or by human desire or a husband’s decision, but by God.

My flesh will scheme and plan to decide to do much good.

in order to receive much favor from The Lord.

It will seldom stop in effort and commitment

to fill itself with glory to be recognized by God.

Cain is a good example ... he gave the best he had.

He wanted to trade his righteousness for The Holiness of God.

In the blood of Abel that was spilled through Cain’s transgression

the world received the signal ... of the mystery of God.
