12:44: The passage of time. Why is it a passage? Why does time ‘pass’ instead of flow, float, move? Time passes by you, then is gone – forever. A second, a moment, never to return. Does it pass by you – or do you pass by it? Which is moving? Which is standing still? Or are both moving, but one moves faster? WHO does the passing?

“Have I turned your mind to knots?

“Such is the foolishness, the mind-bending mystery of me. Of thinking you can out-think or even understand Me. I can twist your mind with mere questions of My deeply layered creation.

“Think on this, REMEMBER THIS as you consider questioning My timing of promises to you. You want Endless, Boundless, All-Creator ME – the Great I Am, to explain to you the rationale and planning of My Timing? You can’t even explain how Time works. I AM BIGGER THAN YOU. My thoughts are far more intricate than yours. Instead of trying to explain My thoughts, I give you a simple answer: TRUST ME.

“TRUST. ME.

“Amen.”
