Psalm 119:18 MSG

Be generous with me and I’ll live a full life;
    not for a minute will I take my eyes off your road.
Open my eyes so I can see
    what you show me of your miracle-wonders.
I’m a stranger in these parts;
    give me clear directions.
My soul is starved and hungry, ravenous!—
    insatiable for your nourishing commands.
And those who think they know so much,
    ignoring everything you tell them—let them have it!
Don’t let them mock and humiliate me;
    I’ve been careful to do just what you said.
While bad neighbors maliciously gossip about me,
    I’m absorbed in pondering your wise counsel.
Yes, your sayings on life are what give me delight;
    I listen to them as to good neighbors!!

Psalm 119:18 ICB

¹⁸Open my eyes to see the wonderful things

Thinking Out Loud – Journal Thoughts/Prayers / Mind Maze Overflow

Those days that turn into what seem to be weeks or on-going hours where you’re like a rocket that just cannot stop yet due to the balance of life and all that seems to need to be.

Time flies and we will never get it back. Savor those moments good, bad, or indifferent.

Love the people well that God has allowed to travel with you at any given moment in this journey. If it is not for love in return, it is for growth of yours or maybe theirs.

None of us are getting out of here alive. Many will have gone to what we see as too soon. While others are left to try to get back up with all the broken missing pieces and make it through another day. Some will just lay paralyzed or quit and hope and wait to be taken as well or at least wander for endless days like in a desert never really knowing if and when things would ever come back to what we call normal.

Love yourself well, through it all. There is nothing wrong with pausing! There is nothing wrong with resting! There is nothing wrong with diving into the very one who created you, to be your best-self in all that is good, truth, purity, morality, kindness, and more than anything love.

I know sometimes I get things really wrong with the love part. I love everyone and sometimes see too much good in what was never there to begin with. Thus, in the past allowing my own pieces to be shattered, shook up and even at time put back in the most kaleidoscope patterns.

But for whatever God’s sense of humor is or his purpose of using me to keep that flicker going. He has always been there, always healed me, always pulled me back up to keep moving forward.

I will never have or do enough to be able to repay Him in gratitude or servitude. But it will never stop me from trying. Nor until my very last breath finding the will to try and keep growing forward. Getting back up and doing each day he allows again.

Interpretation is everything in this journey and what you allow your heart to believe and your eyes and ears to consume. Well, you are the caretaker the steward of what to do with all of it.

Just as I so often select multiple versions of the daily verse which is available and free for all that has a computer. It is just like us choosing how or what something is or means.

Just like today’s verse isn’t it just like us to hear something and grow the story as it gets down the line. The Message gives so much more than the KJV or International Childrens Bible or even NIV etc.….

The point is only you and Jesus know who you are. There is nothing on this planet or unfortunately any other soul that can really own the choices and the gives of lessons or blessings. But our very own being.

If you choose to get stuck in that grey abyss or sit on that proverbial fence that is a choice you deal with. Yes, your choices will always impact others. Anyone in your journey within arm’s reach and then some. Glass half empty, Glass half full. Just pick your poison with boundaries and drink the dang thing for each day you are given.

So many never get the chance. More importantly, so many never really come to know who they really are and how much they really matter to the creator and those who have been blessed within their blood lines and journeys. Sometimes we lose ourselves too soon and then become too critical of every finding the truth. As I recently read “If Christ loves me, does it matter who hates me? If He smiles on me, does it matter who frowns on me? If he says I’m His, does it matter who rejects me? ~Leonard Ravenhill”

Thank you Jesus for never giving up on me; thank you for all you have put in my path shining the light into my world and allowing me to hear and see you in so many ways over this journey.

All the shattered pieces of what is alwaysme. All the mercy and grace even when I have not been able to pay it forward. You have never given up on me even when I did.

Thank you for loving your children through all the dirt and broken building blocks that are left for others to climb over just to get a glimpse. You Jesus are beyond anything anyone can ever deserve. Yet through the dreams, through the journey of each temple moving in this atmosphere. You father God Love so deep no one will ever get to understand. But I am beyond blessed to try.

Father-Son-Holy Spirt THANK YOU

For every battle I have created in this field of my life and mind; it all belongs to you Jesus and for this blessing of knowledge and learned anticipation and actions right or wrong. Your will Jesus, be done! Your blessing Jesus, and guidance in the darkest moments shine bright. For all as you have done for so many.

Do for the many more who are now just awakening.

Lifting the darkness and scales from their hearts and eyes. May they be filled with all you are in love, for love, to love. Pouring into your chosen to pour out into all starving and fighting through the weeds for all you were and forever will be.
