6 This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God’s
servants, who give their full time to governing. 7 Give to everyone what you owe them: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if
revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.

shelter of your wings.

Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (Thinking out loud)
I
have to believe that someday all of it makes sense. The world and its great spinning out of control. That one last breath many take here and
now. If only they believed in the
revelation which you spoke it is finished to never be the same and the veil was
torn while you transcended into Gods arms to fulfill the promises and coming
back for all who call upon your name.
If
only I knew what I will do when I see your face. So unworthy yet everything we will or could be washed away and no more tears, no
more battles to do what is right, or see those we love lose ground before
finding you.
Somedays
finding we are in a place that calls failure front and center. Yet we do not have to stay there or even
acknowledge it.
In
you, with you we can be our best selves and know if it is not working out; it
was never meant to be.
Everything
happens for a reason and we are not created to chase the reasons of why.
What
can we learn from the good and bad? What
can we do for change? Not do for others,
not do to others. What can we do for our
own beings and eternal growth forward?
When
those we put our trust into; toss us out like discarded unwanted anything
because we do not think like they want us to; or do what they want or give what
they ultimately are only after. It may
be our choice how we got there; but the lack of love, respect, and loyalty to
those you give your all to. Are the one’s
who have the issues. Our only issue is
we should never give anyone, or anything more than you would the Father God through
Jesus Christ.
Let
it go, Let it hurt and Let it heal! It
is not meant to be and if it was not good enough then; it never was intended to
be. No matter how many times it resurfaces
if it is not evenly yoked and balanced in the harmony and love you have been
blessed to be, to find to achieve.
Find
your true purpose and shine bright in the world with the talents and blessings
you have been given; you are meant to be, you will be when you grab on the
hands of Jesus.
I
cannot tell you absolutes why. I myself
am still growing through the fires of day to day.
I
can tell you the many times and layers that I have accumulated over my journey reasons
why to hate, be hard and bitter and the unknowing reasons why I am not.
All
the hurts, all the brokenness, all the bad habits I myself have made it past. Daring to be different and acknowledge the world
does not define me. The grace and mercy
of God does.
Does
for me, does for you. No matter who you
are or what you have done or even will do.
I
mess up daily. Somethings trigger that
short Irish temper still; sometimes those curse words come flying out. Sometimes I allow my personal feelings and
desires to come out trusting the wrong people with what I say. Sometimes I want to just go to the days
where I could get one really good drunk on to burn up brain cells just to forget.
Yet
I found someone and something better that allows me peace and although the
moments of my story that are forever with me will always be. I have laid them at the foot of the cross
and seek harmony in the flow of all that played out and gives me life and hope
to live on.
The
demons in our closet will never stop trying to get out. They will go through those closest to your
heart strings when they cannot get you to open the doors. Yet we all get to choose!
And
no matter what the choices what about never losing who we are or try to be; remember
humility and living remaining humble and kind.
There
will always be fires burning down around us and even within us. We have to know God has already won the war. He and His angel army with Jesus at his right
side will shelter you with peace and strength when you are caught up in what we
may never understand.
There
will be those that take you places and are permanently etched into your soul
and you will never really know why if they could not be in the here and now or
didn’t stay.
Do
your best and be your best to stay true to your self and cling to the one that knows
every scar, every hair on your head and every single moment you alone know how bad
it hurts to keep going. Acknowledge
Jesus and know He is there to carry you.
And
even if he does not take you out of the situation or has allowed something to
change, to be, to happen. Know you are
never on your own and never alone. He is
waiting for you to come find Him.
If
we can see it, we can breathe it and God will turn it around. Don’t take what is easy; dive in and give
all you are to him and seek all he has to give in blessings to you. No matter what it feels and looks like.
Stand
strong in the one who gives you the air for life through his son Christ Jesus!
