John 16:33
“I have told you these things, so that in me your may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
Psalm 112:4-7
Even in the darkness
light dawns for the upright, for the gracious and compassionate and righteous
man… He will have no fear of bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the
Lord.
Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (my perspectives and/or feelings):
Like that blanket
or favorite stuffed animal, we cling to for security; that one thing that
somehow puts us at peace and we fall soundly deeply into the abyss of peace
that allows safety, just knowing even when we cannot see or understand
why. We rest in you Jesus!
Without it,
without you we have that never ending spin of restlessness. Yet something about the comfort when we lay
our head down knowing it is all out of our hands and it is going to be better
than alright.
I just wanna be
happy, living simply seeing those that came after me, seeing my children
healthy and living to their best abilities.
Watching generations grow forward and not be stuck in the same old spin
of complaints, I Can’t, or even stuck in the lies and lost in the world
believing what everything else around them says or does is it. Then falling apart when the temporary shows up.
Not be the fix-it,
not remembering those days when I myself was so weary and just wanted to cover
up with that security blanket to forever disappear.
Everyone has a name;
everyone has a story. My writing taps
out bits and pieces of mine always; but what if someone else close to you has been
trying to tell you their story. What
if you realize your own worth and started telling your own story?
What is your
legacy or how will people remember you when your no longer next to them?
Do they remember
you for the fame and fortune you created, yet never really knowing who you are
deep inside?
Sometimes it is best we only know what we see
on the outside. Especially when our
hearts are ice like stones. Where we
shut every and everything out.
We live in this
world where we cannot live for ourselves because so much more is
important.
We all have a sacrifice,
right? We all do what we do and have very good justifiable
reasoning.
We are all
looking for that someone, that something.
Finding ourselves in the lowest valley’s or top of those mountains we
climb only to find no one else being there.
No one but the
same creator that has given air in your lungs, my lungs more day.
God the Father
and creator of all things, Jesus his son and sacrifice and if we are finally
aware and having enough of what wears us out, we call upon the Holy Spirit to
come live within us.
No way was I
smart enough to figure that out on my own.
Yes, I did challenge God many times in my life before meeting Jesus. Thing is I am not sure if I ever formerly
met Him. Some how the transformation day
by day just took me over.
Somehow one day I
stood up realizing I have never been alone in this world.
All those moments
when things feel all but lost and pains of unknown, of loss, of just weariness
had all been blessed with strength to get back up and not fall into the pit and
just do what comes easy. Quitting!
Daring to be
different, daring to be sometimes what we do not understand why. Just knowing we are meant for so much more.
God and His love certainly moved first for and with me. I would have never really grasped it if He had not. What if I never made it off that pavement, off that floor, back to a shelter in place I was given as a child after that which would change my life forever at the hands of humanity.
What if all those times as a sick kid healing
never took place. What if the consumption
that took place with those who were the vessels of my being here never transpired?
There are a
billion reasons plus why we are allowed to be.
Why we have been given the freedom to choose life and speak life or
choose death and be death.
I will never
fully understand or grasp. I could go
back to college and learn all the theology in the world and try to become a great
teacher to the faith.
But the facts
remain. Only God really knows the answer
and it is between you and Him and his son Jesus Christ. It is between Him and me and the future choices
to be made for any day given to get back up.
Love yourself
enough to dare to seek truth and your true worth as to why you here.
Be a light for the
path you are on even if it is a flicker behind you. Plant the seeds of hope, plant the seeds of
love. Pay it forward and learn and be
kindness in what can be a very cruel world.
Sometimes we have
to let go of what we have flowing through our veins and heal from the cuts so
deep never understanding why.
If it is meant to
be it will be.
Father God thank
you for the comfort in just being held by you.
Thank you for the childlike comfort of that fuzzy soft security blanket
in a cold and misunderstood world most days.
I will never
expect for anyone to really get me. However,
I know who I belong and that alone and the peace that flows through these veins
is beyond that secure feeling more like a symphony or waterfall that just
washes through and over all that I am.
Yes, it is true,
it will never stop us from being human.
Wanting, trying, doing sometimes really great things others not so
much. But all in all, the love that
Jesus gave first and always once you allow it in. Is far beyond anything this world can be.
Doesn’t mean I am not going to continue to be me. Thankfully blessed for all I am allowed. Tied in knots over some and not so much for others.
Each day He allows me back up. In
faith, in prayer for whatever is next.
For me, for all I am connected.
Prayer and faith for all that is blessed, all that is healing, all that is
good.
Trusting Jesus, learning to know Jesus, falling in love with Jesus and all of what he came, suffered, crucified, died, and returned and will rise again one day. Maybe not in our time, maybe not in perfect circumstances. But holding on to that one true peace that nothing can take away in all the problems of this world.
Peace and life is given freely for us to
choose life.
