Living in God’s Love
5 Be imitators of God in everything
you do,[a] for then you will represent your
Father as his beloved sons and daughters. 2 And continue to walk surrendered to the
extravagant love of Christ, for he surrendered his life as a sacrifice for us.
His great love for us was pleasing to God, like an aroma of adoration—a sweet
healing fragrance.[b]
Footnotes

Greek word mimetes frequently depicts an actor playing a role.
God wants us to mimic him and be filled with his thoughts, his love, his deeds,
and his character.
5:2 The
Aramaic word for “fragrance” can also be translated “healing balm.”

Keep me Father!
Your spirit and all the good it breathes to life no
matter what was, what was, or what will be.
To be first we must be last. To learn it really is not about me. What a journey that I would not change for
the anything. As it has given me the
handgrips to get back up. Even in the
most painful days.
As I often wonder when that day will be, in which I
cannot move and get back up. Not just
for a minute, a day, a month, a year.
Somehow, I am able to acknowledge you through your
creation in nature, in song, in people.
Reminded we are not promised a day much less a
tomorrow. Even when it hurts to see those
spirits beating all odds suddenly taken home.
Be it illness, wrong choices, accidents, or the hands of others. As long as we are still here and allowed
back up. We get to choose to shine
anywhere and everywhere we go in just being kind and loving.
That we do not take others personal even if they are
launching an attack on us for their own selfish ambitions or unattended hurts
that seep out unto the world.
Sometimes I have to run to the quiet even shutting down
and making the music stop. But yet every
perfect harmony and dancing beat is what allows life to flow through this soul.
Mankind your creation Jesus may have the moments that
allow pure pleasure on high and low notes, but it is your blessing and sacrifice
that allow us to be here to do so at all.
If only we could learn to be real, playing together with
no expectations but that of watching some rolling hills populate beauty and
life each string that is played out.
The thumps and bumps of life like that bass or kick that
brings bounty if we allow the rhythms to absorb all the good. All the while like the feedback of hate that
squeals louder than any other misplaced wire or performer standing too close to
live mics.
Life is not a game although so many are pawns like in a
game of chess. Life is not a performance
although we in the world are doing whatever it takes to get our 15seconds or
15minutes or 15 years of fame. In the
end selling our souls and become the demons that try to consume us as we suffer
alone when we do not know you Jesus.
Even when we do grow weary at times for the battle is
so real.
Nothing happens in this life that you have not already
seen or even allowed to go through your hands God. I know I will never understand a speck of it.
Yet here I am another day given with letters, words,
actions filling the direction of any and all opportunities that come my way
this new day. To grasp, to run from to
always acknowledge you Father. As
without you I am nothing and there are none.
Many will never get that as they still just go through
the motions making the best of it as they know how. Some filled with hate and hurt, others filling
up with this and that or others; yet the void is just as empty as it the day
first noticed.
I am no different, I have just been blessed with the realness
of you. My cravings may leave my desires
hidden but I want not! That abundance
in love with love for love that pours through these veins still crave what it
would be in truth like to know from the outside in for eternity and not just
pretense or temporal pleasures.
Maybe someday to know; maybe not. Yet, while I wait always knowing I have you.
Be with us all Jesus
May your voice echo through the atmosphere so all will
hear you even just once.
May we turn to your beauty, your peace, your willingness
to dare to be something more than our selves or what the world later is counted
as loss.
Thank you for the beautiful lights that have been on my
journey and the souls that feed me even still today. Thank you for never giving up on me and most
importantly this moment. Thank you for allowing me to learn who I am in your
eyes.
