Jeremiah 17:7-8 Gods Word Translation Biblegateway.com
7 Blessed is the person who trusts the Lord.
The Lord will be his confidence.
8 He
will be like a tree that is planted by water.
It will send its roots down to a stream.
It will not be afraid in the heat of summer.
Its leaves will turn green.
It will not be anxious during droughts.
It will not stop producing fruit.

Thinking Out Loud – Journal Thoughts/Prayers / Mind Maze Overflow
It
seems to be getting few and far between that I openly just go tap out the things
that flow out of this mind maze. Business
in the world that we are blessed with and avoiding being sucked in dwelling on
the things I just cannot change.
Not
to mention the oh so different day-to-day that takes place. I did finally just take a day yesterday to
regroup. Finally, just do it! Nike has nothing on the logo t-shirt I
where that says, “Whatever Jesus says just do it”!
We
take on roles and responsibilities that may encourage, grow, contribute to what
makes us look successful or even just works to help us get by. Mostly because we are qualified and trained
up and those, we work for offer some benefit of salary, health, time off and/or
all the other perks. At least I hope
when anyone goes looking for place of
employment the weigh the pros and cons before just taking the deal.
However,
like any other person in this world. Me
uniquely made in the image God called me to be, or become I think back how many
times I thought the prayer was enough the signs were plenty or even those
moments that I just did it and later felt the impacts or possibilities I just
never understood or sometimes had to where later because of the foolish games
they turned out to be.
Who
or what is it that you really fear?
Prayerfully if it is God it is for all the right reasons and not some
made up stories that you think he is just looking to beat you up for the
mistakes made. Forgiveness and love is
the mold that beauty in the ashes of anything we make it through the other side
were created for. Even when we will
never understand the why it happens in the first place to bring us to a place
that leaves us so vulnerable, so empty, so broken or alone.
Live
and learn, get knocked down, trip, fall, face plant even. But always be sure to get back up. All this stuff, all these people, places
and things are temporal steps in the journey we are on. What is eternal? What is it that fills you with peace you
cannot explain that is there when the world is burning down around you? What is it that holds you together when all
your broken pieces come shattering to the floor when your loved one’s cannot
seem to get it or when they did, or do they just keep getting pounded on or
taken completely out? What is it when you just don’t fit the mold of the
cliques that should not be in the first place, but you feel it when you show up
to do what you have been called out to do so?
JESUS!
The
goodness of all that God is, was and will be.
If we can just get past ourselves and reacting on feelings. This world is so selfish, even me at times.
I so thank God every day for the ability that I did not get consumed with hate
and thinking I deserved anything more than what I get back up to pursued each
day I am allowed back up. Ain’t no doubt about it all the good I am
able to see even through the fires, even when sometimes it stays clear as mud sometimes
longer and more dangerously than it should ever be. There is not a place that his Mercy will
not wash over those who call upon his precious name and invite the Holy Spirit
to come dwell deep within our souls and show us how-to live-in Grace and obedience
for and with all that is beautiful and good.
Kindness matters even through the streams and waterfalls of tears in
what our day-to-days sometimes see to bring.
Precious
lives meant to live not walk in the shadows of mistaken identities and the demons
that haunt world as we know it. If
only I had the ability to really keep preaching like Paul during the shipwrecks,
beatings and thieves of the night or day.
If
only instead of lying awake at night praying and knowing I will be okay but concerned
about lost loved ones even in those momentary lapses as we sink into what will
become; even if we know that everything we are, everything we have is a gift from
God and he gives and takes away as he sees fit. Maybe that is not the part that worries us;
maybe it is the fact that evil can be so horrifying we wish no one could ever
suffer at the hands of it.
So
what if we stumble, fall. Get back up
asking for the hand of Jesus to lift you.
Recognize when he carries you on those seconds, moments, of our earthy
life that we allow our feelings to dictate what our next actions may or may not
be.
We
are created for so much more. WE were
created in beauty, in love, in peace to be in harmony through all the waves to
be ridden like a pro surfer and turning our eyes for all that we are, all that we can be. Looking up no matter how dark or clouded the
smoke leaves us blinded. Looking, to,
for, and with Lord Jesus.
Shine
for who you are right here and right now.
Let it go and truly let God shake it out. I can assure you when you believe and I have
to even the least expected blessings will show up to remind you what truly matters. Love yourself for you are not what others
think you can be, should be. Or even for
what you have that they may want or what you want from them. Love the soul not the temporal things that mask
what is or will be.
When you cannot do it alone and none of us
are meant to do so. Call out to Jesus
and circle up with his army of angels.
As
I write some of this as just my mind maze flow today and reminders in my own
life for all that is or isn’t. Thank you
Jesus for this new day that you once again have breathed life in me. May I flicker and light the way and help breathe
life into anyone you put in my journey path even if they come for their own wrong
reasons.
Open
our eyes, Lord!
Open
our ears, Lord!
Open
our hearts, Lord! and allow Jesus to show us his will and way to all that is beauty
and everlasting.
Forgive
them for they truly do not know who you really are and what they are truly
meant to be.
Heal
and protect our land and all the beauty and innocence within.
As
the seeds of life are planted may all the bold beautiful colors of your will
Jesus pop, sprout and brilliantly consume us in all that you have blessed.
