Psalm 52:8
But I am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God; I trust in God’s
unfailing love for ever and ever.
Proverbs 3:5-6 (AMP)
Lean on, trust in,
and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on
your own insight or understanding. In
all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make
straight and plan your paths.
Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (my perspectives and/or feelings):
Are we sharing
the good things each day we are allowed back up?
Or do we just
remain in our own bubble and remain known as he/she is a or was a good person.
Life for the
future is more than just not being a mean hateful person any day we are
given. More than what we can collect and
leave behind, more than a bank account that families disperse amongst themselves
when you are no longer getting back up or even more than all the fights and
hate that comes from family and friends who really knew you and want what you
have left.
Life is more than
just sharing your paycheck or even taken full care of anyone out of obligation,
duty or even pity.
What is it that
will be your legacy?
What will they
remember you for? We all lead by
example; someone is always watching.
It does start
with us, deep within our spirit with the blessings of freedom of will and choice.
We get to choose
how we will purpose to speak and allow to come out of our mouths. We get to choose how we will act on any
given day or night; we get to choose how we will react to things around us,
people who hurt us and even people that have that what we consider upper hand
right now.
We get to choose
when someone is holds us captive; no matter what the scenario.
Life changes every
second for someone. In less than a blink
of an eye.
What is our legacy
being created, being carried on in the actions, in the words in the memory of
all those you are connected?
Pity? Do we feel bad for all the things that kept
happening to that soul who never did anything harmful to anyone around them? Yet they had the worse luck as the world
calls it throughout time.
What did we do to make a difference if we
were one of those connected?
Did we really
hear them when we spent time listening; did we really speak life as often as we
could, sharing anything and everything positive to help growth.
Or did we add to
the wagon full of rocks that has been shifted from one location of the garden
to the other thinking we are doing the right thing because we are at least just
spending time with them.
Our actions
Our words
Our body language
or the lack of all matter.
What about the
children?
What about the
future of this world?
What are we doing
to help encourage and plant seeds of growth and love?
Yes, the world is
so messed up we cannot just walk up to kids we see in need and hold a conversation. I don’t recommend that at all.
But when you see
something, do something, say something!
This world this
America is no different than any other communist country when we think about it
for our children.
We may not be forcing our children in the military
and training them to be killing soldiers by the time they are 10. But we are doing them a great disservice by
not teaching them respect, loyalty and how to care for themselves or others.
We so twisted
engage in turning our heads when we know children are being sold like prime rib
on the market for adults’ power and
sexual pleasures and do nothing; yet in
some cases do everything to participate.
I believe there
is a special place in hell for those who harm the elderly, the innocent and the
children.
Yet, we may never see those times.
However, God gives
us now.
If he has allowed
you up another day it is not to dwell in what is heartbreaking, or out of
control, things we didn’t plan for, or desperately in need of a miracle or
healing.
We all are
created for so much more and have more strength and courage than we will ever
know.
Thank Jesus for
going to that cross to die so we could have life.
Call upon him first
and foremost in every moment he allows you back up and give thanks for what is
and ask direction for what can be, should be and will be.
Seek forgiveness
of all of our imperfect choices and ways; seek forgiveness for those who have
and will harm us in some way.
Be it purposely
because they can in strength and words and deeds. Or those who never meant to, and their own
choices rippled out and smashed down on everything within reach.
I am no expert,
and I am far from perfect. I take off
210 miles an hour in the wrong direction on any given day thinking I am doing
and saying the right thing and later needing the same reminders that pour out
unscripted for anyone who reads them to seep into my own heart and mind.
One thing I do
know is nothing beautiful grows unless you feed and water it. Finding balance is a tricky but absolute on
any given day we are given. Too much
food, too much water eventually kills or drowns out what was purposed. So, does too many or not enough actions or
words.
I am learning
every day and one thing I know is I will never get enough of the good works and
love that Jesus had, and has throughout eternity. Most importantly I am not ashamed to acknowledge
it.
We all believe in
something, none of us have to do or be anything but what God has created us to
be. Just because things look really
dark or are taking the wayside. Does not
mean we cannot pour all we are into the God who came down as man and taught, sacrificed,
died and is alive in spirit that will live within us. If we call upon the name of Jesus. He will return but until he does allow your
heart to open and allow Him into your soul.
None of us are
perfect so seek His perfection, His direction.
Through life
circle up with those who purpose to grow forward. Purpose to shake off all the negativities; shake
off all the I can’t thinking.
Know through
Christ all things are possible. Know
that if you can see it; you can make it one step closer to making your dreams,
your goals come to life. You can be the
positive moral growth that your children, your friend’s children, your nieces
your nephews will be encouraged.
They are watching
no matter if you are doing good things or not.
The future of
this world matters right with us. Yes,
the government has a big power play in everything. But raise up the next leaders. Dare to be the voice that says this is what
can happen if you keep on the path you are on.
You do not have to
have it all together to step out in faith and call upon the one who created all
things and gives us life each day we are allowed up.
In fact, we need
to need Him.
We do not have to
have it all together to have that one kind word, that one moment we hold a
door, that one moment we just listen, that one moment we do some small act of kindness
with no expectations. We do not have
to have it all together to make a difference and love one another without intention.
In fact, our
intentionality should be loving everyone because God loved us enough to allow
us this new day.
Give all your
fears, anxieties, needs, demands, to Jesus.
Give thanks you matter, even if, even when!
