11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares
the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans

Faith
in all that is good, all that is unseen comes in many shapes, sizes, and
colors.
Hope, peace and the want for goodness and joy for all
it touches sees no wrong. When no agenda
souls come together and absolutely allow Jesus to wash through them, knowing
when they sing about His ability to wash away the ruins. There is nothing that blocks the love, the
care, the truth that is written and pours out of one’s spirit.
For some this may be laughter at what they do not
understand, some beautiful unseen sounds coming together of every voice, every
musical instrument. For some like being
lifted and flowing through every beat and rhythm filled with energy, for when
they land and look back they know it is only because the same God of the universe
that has given them a new day allow them to feel a glimpse of what is yet to
come.
Can you hear it?
Can you see?
Have you laid your burdens down?
Have you stopped looking around, looking at everyone
else?
Have you looked into the depths of who Jesus Christ
died so you would be allowed to really know who you are meant to be? Who you are?
Not what you have!
Not what you do!
Who you are in the eyes of the creator, that same God
who knows every hair on your head, knows your thoughts and what you are about
to do; even what you have done that you cannot shake off.
Have you met His son Jesus right where you are?
We are all imperfect souls that sin against all that
God the Father created us to be daily.
So what in the eyes of the world some sins of many are more heinous than
any we could see our ever be caught up or do.
Yet a sin is a sin, so who are we to judge others for
what they once did.
Don’t get it twisted.
Those that do the crime me, you; everyone one; absolutely must pay for
what we do. Every action has a
result. Every action is someone’s choice
and the tsunami wave of what washes out at the end of that choice has the
effects of good, bad and everything in-between.
Yes, in a heartbeat I fight not to react to some choice
others make that involve me or my family or even those I find myself caught up
in.
However even when a criminal that is in prison and the crime,
they commit robs a life, or puts others in permanent distress. Though they will always be required to pay
for their crimes, it is up to God what
the final judgement would be. Yes, I
struggle daily and often have to ask for forgiveness because I am that one that
though I love everything about God the Father and in love with all Jesus Christ
is. I still say I will be the one to help
line them up. When it comes to harming
children, elderly and those who cannot defend themselves for whatever the
reasons. Yes, I cast judgment too.
I can make excuses; I can say its because I know what
it is like to watch those who have no regard for anything but their own
personal demons to be fed. Watching myself
in the looking back glass. Watching
others.
How easy it is to lose ourselves to what is already been
and gone and here we are with a new day and new opportunity to grow up, and
forward. Finding the best in all we are, all we are meant to be and most
importantly with whom we belong.
The same soul that reveals beauty, promise, and hope
from the East to West is the same Father of all things that wants our absolute
best, for who we are despite how much we try to fit into this abstract world.
When you know every single thing about us. Most times
we do not know our own self until we are figuring out how to get out of a mess.
Sure, we know
what we think we want, what our goals of who we want to be in the future, what
we will tolerate or not. But how many
of us really take time to know who we really are in the eyes of God? How many of us really meet Jesus where we are
and seek the truth and the way?
Seek what may not make sense but fills us up we overflow
with abundance even when we have nothing.
We are the water that Jesus turns into wine. Not to walk around drunk, lost, under the influence
and stupid but that of what lifts our spirits so high we will never touch the
earth ever again. Even when the waves of
day-to-day pound on us.
Death, destruction, let downs, surgeries, accidents,
anger, volatility, crimes of delusion, crimes of passion. Illness, cancers, pandemics, mental, emotional, heart, head; that which is
self-inflicted or the hands of others.
The list of all that can and will consume us at some points in our
journey. Lay it all at the foot of the
cross. Really get to know not just hear about Him, but
dive in and find who Jesus was the, and is still now.
There are many ways to learn through Pod Casts, Youtube.com,
Music, Music, Music, Yes did I say
Music. Speakers, Movies, READ the BIBLE. Start with daily devotionals, find no agenda
Christ Centered friends that are on the journey with you. Find a church that teaches what is in the Bible. Challenge, ask, seek. Do not just assume and take what someone
gives you. Dive in and know that the
God of the Universe in the days of creation is still our God in everything all
the time and nothing can change that.
Giving it back and acknowledging it is out of hands and
in the hands of the one who allows us life and breath in our lungs is far
different that just turning our heads and hiding in what the world says it
should be.
We all get to believe; we all get to share perspectives
in this free world that is falling apart.
Maybe not openly for some. But the
blessing no matter how good or bad life surrounds me here and now. Mine is to share the pieces of me and my
ability to share that Jesus is still my God.
Lord, please teach me, teach us how to pray for those
who are less than kind, those that offend us, those that at times purposely see
we are easy targets and harm us for their own personal desires or what they
think are needs. Perhaps even those
that have so much hurt, anger or untamed emotion that just comes out and anyone
within reach is the collateral damage.
For when I harm or offend anyone Lord; please forgive me.
Lord, come down and heal this land. There are so many needs that only you can
fulfill. May we fill up with the love
that you intended and not get it twisted and confused for all that consumes us.
Guide and protect our children and any future that will
come. Jesus you are the light, the hope
and all that is good.
Thank you for this day and all the opportunities that
can come to be.

1 Corinthians
13:12 KJV For now we see through a glass, darkly;
but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I
am known.
Ephesians 3:16-19 I pray out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you , being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge-that you may be filled to the measure of tall the fullness of
