15 Now, brothers and sisters, I want to remind you of
the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your
stand.

“Heaven is both
present and future.”
1 Corinthians 15:20-23 But Christ has indeed been raised from the
dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since death came through a man, the
resurrection of the dead also comes a man.
For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. But each in his own turn: Christ, the
firstfruits; then when he comes; those who belong to him.
Hebrews 6:19 We have this hope as an anchor for the soul,
firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary
behind the curtain.

Courage
What
gives us courage when we all so think we have control of our lives. As a parent we want our children to grow up
and be filled with courage and hope of all that is good. Strength and courage
to make changes to move forward and grow forward with some sort of lasting
peace, health, harmony and never let that in the world that beats us down take
them out.
Just
hopes and prayers they take the leap of faith we never did. Hopes they do not repeat mistakes we make as
the parent or adult. Yet when they do,
and they won’t listen; and we know we should just let them get there in their own
time.
Well
sometimes we just get wore down by the mundane day to day.
We
all have to believe in something and when that something brings beauty, peace,
love in things that all you need to do is look; never having any expectations held
over your head. Never any eggshells
breaking as you walk through day to day.
Knowing that deep gut feeling is something just isn’t right. Thinking too much; sometimes. But you know the players play hard to get
what they want. Those with no remorse
will absolutely tell you to not hate the player but hate the game you never
signed up for.
Believing
in Christ Jesus and the fact that God gave his only son of many to come and go
to the cross as a sacrifice for all the sins humanity will partake in. Just so we can learn balance of good and evil
and freely choose all that is good and pure or think we can know Jesus and hang
on the fence playing in dark and light.
It
does not work that way. To truly
believe in Jesus Christ and be our best selves.
We have to die to ourselves daily.
Knowing everything in the dark will always find its way to light.
Thinking
of my early days reading the Bible and not having a clue what it meant, just
how I would gravitate to the red letters and that was in many variations of printed
versions of the book. Were what Jesus
said.
Was
it those days thirty plus years ago as a single teen mother that got me? Was it really hitting rock bottom on my own
or at the hands of others?
What
was it all for?
Why
did it all have to be?
What
is the purpose or lessons learned?
What
was it we are able to carry away from what did not kill us and made us
stronger?
Leading
the way straight to Jesus. I don’t know
because I am still learning some hard lessons even at this stage.
But
one thing is for sure. I so much rather
to believe in a God of all things and so much beauty that feeds my soul
peace. Then chase humanity to be temporal. Riding that wave and knowing to find
someone that says let’s do this and fight all the way until we are taken home
together. Absolutely! To have all my family, friends, connections overflowing
with the fruits of the spirit. Oh, man if
only. But some will get there and be
rewarded in their own time, some are there and many never will come off the
fence until they fall hard.
Not
everyone is meant to do, to be, to stay, to go.
But we are all meant to love and be loved.
Even
if it is not by someone, we physically have imagined in our romantic movie
minds.
If
we want perfect, the perfect love story.
Well, we better personally get to know the one who creates us. Stop beating ourselves up or thinking our grown
children, friends etc. are the cause for
the choices they make.
Even
if it hurts~
In
this lifetime the only one I can look too in truth, and pure intentions is that
of Jesus and God the Father.
I
have never been good at games. And far
from it being forced to be anyone’s pawn.
Too old to go chasing for me or trying to get points across for those I
care.
If
we are allowed back up another day; We are unfinished and there is so much more
to do, to be, to grow forward for and in.
Though our looks fade, our talents, and gifts change. Our never-ending story is with and through
the Holy Spirit and all God created us to be.
Twelve
hours working today has been a long day not moving and seeing what the world offers.
Life
here and now was never promised to be easy, and it will never be free.
No
matter what we do for good intentions, for love, for kindness, for selfish ambitions. There will always be a price to pay as we fight
our way back to land after the tsunami waves of whatever the result was.
I can only pray that Jesus will bring heaven
to earth! Washing his chosen clean, healing
the land and reflecting not a moment is wasted.
That
one lost prodigal will find the way to the cross and know Jesus personally finding
the peace that he gave up so we could have it.
Unexplainable
mystery in all the peace and known mercy and grace none deserve. Yet, we all walk around thinking we do not
do anything wrong. Or do not care when
we openly do.
For
all the nightmares before of tour bus accidents, sun explosions, major
disasters. Life as we know it is no
more; death is here and now. Yet so
beautiful is the hands of the potter who is held so close and tightly. Moving and fixing our broken pieces. The pains will never stop coming as long as
we love for all taken, all lost.
But
you God will never break your promises even when we lose our way. We need you Jesus; I need you more now than
ever. In my day-to-day, in my nights
with my eyes wide shut or when you call me home. There is never a day I can be without
Jesus.
In
love, in mercy In you! East to West,
North to South. Beside me, above me. Deep within forever you no matter what else
here and now is or not.
Thank
you for healing who I was; Thank you for healing who I will be. For I am chosen, I am lost in your love that
burns greater than any eruption and deeper than the abyss of unknown.
Thank
you, Father God, for calling my name and never stopping until I was able to answer.
Please
in Jesus Name reach all my loved one’s!
But if you do not, may I always have the courage and strength to keep
going until I find you at home in heaven.
No
matter what is, what was, what could be.
You are and always will be beyond all space and time. I will never know love as I have found and
known with you Jesus.
Thank
you!
