23 Then he said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must
deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me. 24 For whoever wants to save
their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it.
(@Jesus Calling 365 Devotions with Real-Life
Stories @Sarah Young)
“Isn’t it often the
same way with you? You Trust Me when
things go well. When you see Me working on your behalf?
“Stay on the path of Life with Me, enjoying My Presence. Choose to trust Me in all circumstances.”
Exodus 15:22-25 Then Moses led Israel from the Red Sea and
they went into the Desert of Shur. For
three days they traveled in the desert without finding water. When they came to Marah, they could not drink
its water because it was bitter. (That is
why the place is called Marah.) So people
rumbled against Moses, saying. “What are
we to drink?” Then Moses cried out to
the Lord, and the Lord showed him a piece of wood. He threw it into the water, and the water
became sweet. There the Lord made a
decree and law for them, and there he tested them.
Psalm 31:14 But I trust you, O Lord; I say, “You are my
God.”
Daily
Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (Thinking out loud)
Even
those that believe and put all their hope and trust into the Lord, find at
times if they stop and listen or were to record their day to day. Just how often they find themselves putting
trust into what they do, what they are seen as by the world. Or even when putting everything into God;
when things go well things are great.
Yet, when things do not, we find ourselves weeping, and carrying on feeding
fuel to the fires that fill the world with so much negativity and smoke
suffocating out anything that is good.
I
wish personally I knew how not to do so.
I know it is what it is; until its not.
Nothing will change that. “No man knows how bad he is till he has
tried very hard to be good.” @CS Lewis
Crazy
as that is; the truth sometimes is better like taking whatever is easy to just
ignore or make it our own new truth and not worry about the impact. At least until it comes back to bite us.
Our
choices are our own. Like me staying up
all night Saturday night and binge watching the Vampire diaries or because it
was stormy all day yesterday and I was going nowhere. For the first time in maybe 10+ years I stayed
in my PJs all day and continued watching mindless shows.
I
have always been a King Kong, Dracula old school Frankenstein kind of movie
nut. I stopped for years but when I get bored,
I often tap into a series and binge watch not always using my best judgement and
pacing myself. Its all about the mystery in Mystic Falls.
Though
I think today our modern-day vampires are much more dangerous when we allow
anything to suck the joy out of our lives.
That time we waste saddened on what if’s or almost was; well, we can
never get back.
On
the other hand, having that romance so intense that changes you could be
incredible.
If
you have someone to love like that; hold onto every second of every day
given. And when it ends, or they have to
leave before you are ready to let go.
Give thanks for the love and lessons and all the memories you were able
to share and make.
Every story always has an ending. Just not always what we plan for. The only
thing eternal is our spirituality and where you place your hope, your trust and
your soul’s eternity is up to you. However,
there is only one ticket to heaven in God’s house and that is riding the Jesus
Train all they way. What you do here and
now matters. Making a day-to-day effort
and building that relationship with Jesus is the only way to get to the Father.
There
will be many distractions along the way over and over derailing you to do
so. Making you think you are not good
enough, or something has disqualified you from purposing to find that peace and
harmony within him. But all those lies
and wasted time worrying and making excuses is just that.
The
relationship with you and Jesus Christ in works, in deeds, in truth. Is between you and your actions and purpose with
and for the greater good of your soul and your future. We just do not know until we try! And if first we do not feel it, find it, keep
digging and trying until we do.
Being
our best selves has a price. We pay now
or pay later for all the good or bad we think we are doing.
What
we consume, the time we spend frustrated, and accepting defeat. The less time we have to gear up in the name
of Jesus and fight forward for the big and small things.
Yes,
I cannot do this life on my own. There
is no doubt I have made a mess over and over in my life and if were not for the
strength of God, I would have been that kid left out in the woods when it was
done. Maybe I was maybe who I was
really supposed to be never existed and this is why I have been chosen. Or maybe because who I would have been which
I cling to; is why I am alive here and now in a world full of vultures and thieves
begging Gods ultimate Army Angel; Jesus Christ, never lets me go.
Banged
up, beat up, broken up it all leads you to the crossroads of do I care or
not. Do I keep going or do I turn around
and run to what consumes me? Do I give
up and give in; or do I just keep giving thanks never fully understanding why
or how. And give thanks every step of
the way.
I
choose to keep riding this train until whatever the circumstances may be and I
cannot ride any longer.
For
today and all the crazy with, in and around me in my little spec of the
world. Be it binge watching or Jesus’s
praising, diving deep to the meaning of
what was, what is and what may be. All
the good, all the bad and all the in-between.
Knowing if its not real its not happening. If you cannot see it, feel it, touch it. Then what is it. As for Jesus in that, yes, I have felt the
hands of God on and in my life. More
times to count than I deserve.
We
all get to choose and live out our days with the choices we make. We all pay for the choices we make. Now or later.
What you choose is on you. If you
are sincere and true you find a way to keep going and bring it to life. If you are fooling yourself and others. Eventually everything in the dark comes to the
light. It is what it is until its
not. Not because of what we do or have
had done. But because ultimately the
creator has better intentions for His children; His creation than we will ever
know or understand.
In
the end only truth, love and kindness should matter. Even though we know in a world full of so
much everything; we sometimes believe in our own delusions.
This
is my maze being dumped out. It is what
it is until someday it changes or is no longer.
Until them may the same Grace of God that has given you life; pour into
your spirit and show you the way of you were meant to be. May you be filled with peace and hope,
harmony and abundant blessings left to pour out on all you connect.
