1 Corinthians 15:55-57 (NIV) @BIBLEGATEWAY.COM
55 “Where, O death, is your victory?
Where, O death, is your sting?”[a]
56 The sting of death is
sin, and the power of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God! He
gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Jesus you are more than Good~
There are no words, deeds, or anything I could do
or say to fully grasp and reflect who you are.
Through all that we try and get that sneak peak
into the future, to know and be fully known.
Even during those things that bring us angst, sadness, uncertainty, and
all that tries to block your reflection shining forth on any given day. King Of My Heart @Kutless
Remind
me over and over again as I get lost in the nonsense and that which is an
illusion. Over and Over @Nelly ft. Tim McGraw
I am that one.
That one, when I will give everything to help, to love. Until it; that relationship, that need, that
at the hands of others, becomes an expectation.
That one
which remains loyal and steadfast until I am made to remove myself all
together. I am loyal but I am forever His.
That one
that stays until it gets unsafe, or the darkness which shadowed the truth
shines bright and the truth is not any part of who I am meant to be.
That one that can no longer watch those loved
self-destructs.
That one that knows if I want my own infliction,
I will create it myself; I will drive my
own passage and never sit back idly and allow others to drive me into another’s
hell with no intention of ever being productive and proposed to help and
continue to grow forward in all things.
I have no agenda of helping those who come to me
and seek help and I absolutely although far from perfect will never turn my
head and condone or condemn all that is done for one’s personal gain or
self-gratification.
If one says they are this or that; it is not my place
to prove anything differently. If one
says they are in need and come to me I have been known to help without
question.
However, when someone demands or openly plays
games, lies, steals, cheats, uses, and abuses the gifts they are given. Unfortunately, it is no longer my place to
care what happens with them, or to them.
It takes allot to get me to disconnect. But when I do, it takes even more to build
that bridge of truth and trust back and even then. My expectations although I will never ask or
say it. Will always require those to
prove themselves or reasons.
I do what I do because I have been blessed beyond
all deserving like many of us in this universe.
I do what I do until God tells me to move, to
stop, to do something different.
So, when you question, doubt, manipulate, play
the pity party or poor me card. I see
you until I do not. Most likely all
along I have been more than transparent with you and when we have come to this
fork in the road, and you have taken mor than you will ever give.
I want
just you to know I know whom I belong.
I know that if right here right now was it. I know who is in control and who will always
fight my battles. Surrounded / Fight My
Battles @Michael W. Smith
Even on the days my heart is soft, and I came
close to begging for reality to be filled with the truth and reasons why you do
what you do.
We all take more than we give; yet in some cases
there are many that make their life taking from the mouths and souls of others
truly in need. It is not my place to
judge you; but I will turn that switch off to not have to deal with such
likeness.
We all can talk a good talk; the proof is in the
pudding when we see the walk-in action.
One thing for sure at this stage of the game we pretty much can see
through and in most cases just continue with hopes something good turns out of
all choices we proceed with.
Many times, we know our mistakes as we continue
on with them even when we do it with better than good intentions. Mistakes @Unspoken
So, before you start worrying about what I am
doing; or what I can do for you. Worry
about what you are doing. We will never
be able to really know anyone or predict how someone or something will turn out
until God reveals what he ultimately allows.
It does not
matter if we call it black, white or neon green. It does matter if you choose to make up your
own rules along the way. If you decide
you think you have one up on that which God the Father and for centuries was
written and you for more than a moment believe you can change it, play it, be
it for more than a second. Because
even in that one second that will make or break anything. The wave you cause to crash down on your own
future days and many that are close to you.
Will forever be pounding the shores of what you call so called life.
We can plan all day; however, in the end it is
only kindness, truth, love and what is written for God, by God with Jesus that
matters. No Matter What @Ryan Stevenson
God will never move on; however, if you are not
doing your best to walk with Him. Do
not expect anything more than moments of all that is temporary and all the
uncertainty with pain and broken pieces along the way leaving that flow of all
you are bleeding out behind you. Bleeding Out @Imagine Dragons
I wish I could make the difference you need all
for the greater good. All for what is
good with clean hands and pure hearts.
But we know that is not true in many cases. We fight with our own demons; we pretend we
are something we are not. We take what
we can and when we can no longer, we do our best to be the one that has no guilt
or conscious that maybe we should have never done what we did because had our
intentions been something different. Just maybe even when I was on that
mountain top I would not have fallen so far down when it was over. No intimidation, no calls, or sickness from
our own consumption of choices will matter.
In the end we all have to answer.
Thinking how my Rottweiler once a big pen had he
slept in that had a bumper sticker; when you do the crime, you do the
time. How true! Maybe not at the hands of justice, maybe
not even at the hands of man. But we
all live with what we do and no matter how we replace, change, or even hide who
we really are, what we really need and what we really do. We are the only one’s that are remotely
capable of making the change and becoming all that God created us to be. But we have to call upon him first and
always.
I am not yesterday; neither are you. What you do right here, right now
matters.
It does not matter if you are loyal to a fault of
all the wrong people and places or things.
You get to change. To do so
change through the one that took all our sins and shame.
Call upon Jesus’ right where you are. Let it go; let it hurt; let it heal! Fight forward, fight to shine for all you
are meant to be. Not what you do or
who you do it for. Fight to shine on
and shine bright. Find Your Way @Fearless Soul
No one
can save you, change you; or be you. BUT
YOU!!!
No matter what my heart feels, no matter what is
or is not. God has the last word. I know who I belong to and my heart will
always break for those I love, those who are lost, those who have been lost
that I will never see again.
But if for just one, I will dance on that rainbow
as it shines down to the very end of what is waiting.
Lord, you know my heart, you know my will; you
know all things be it what pours out on this page or shows up in a text, or an
action of any kind.
Your will be done; and thank you for this new day
of opportunities for all I am or am connected.
Your Will Be Done @CityALight
