“Forgiveness is a complicated grace that uncomplicates my anger and helps me see beautiful again.” @ Lysa Terkeurst”

 

Biblegateway.com Daily Verse

Romans 8:32  (NLV)  New Life Version

32 God did not keep His own Son for Himself but gave Him for us all. Then with His Son, will He not give us all things?

Romans 8:32 (KJV)  King James Version

Yet the Lord will command his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life.

 

Romans 8:32 (MSG)  The Message Version

31-39 So, what do you think? With God on our side like this, how can we lose? If God didn’t hesitate to put everything on the line for us, embracing our condition and exposing himself to the worst by sending his own Son, is there anything else he wouldn’t gladly and freely do for us? And who would dare tangle with God by messing with one of God’s chosen? Who would dare even to point a finger? The One who died for us—who was raised to life for us!—is in the presence of God at this very moment sticking up for us. Do you think anyone is going to be able to drive a wedge between us and Christ’s love for us? There is no way! Not trouble, not hard times, not hatred, not hunger, not homelessness, not bullying threats, not backstabbing, not even the worst sins listed in Scripture:

 Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (Thinking out loud)

Life is those moments that capture your heart filled with those people that make your soul smile.     I am blessed with both no matter what else in this world does or does not… I have been blessed.

Some of greatest achievements cannot be counted by awards on a shelf collecting dust.  They are the moments and beauty within for those you truly have no control over when your soul shines just by watching, hearing, and being around the light they shine.    Or the pull out of you and you shine brighter than any other and cannot explain why.

That is the blessing of God and his unconditional love without expectation, love without agenda.   Giving oneself with no intent of ever receiving or to those who will never deserve it.

 

Ugly is what we allow to come out of us and cannot let go; and before we know it cannot control it and everything and anything it its way is a target to feel the pain we carry.

Let it go and set yourself free no matter how dark it is.  Call on God and his promise sealed in blood.

 

Why he did what He had to do is that you think you do not get to choose, when His love clearly a gift for me and you.   He did what he did and did not have to.  Sacrificing from the very start.    Yet who here and now even gives a single moment much less life for those who need help to find the freedom, in love, in peace in truth~

 

Raising beauty from ashes, graves to gardens we sing about screaming, jumping in praise.    When will we truly let him show us how to work things out?

 

It does not matter where you come from it matters where you direct your steps in life and where you will end up.    I have known many that came with the silver spoon that fed them later to use it only to inject death because they could not cope.   Or those that came from nothing and are the biggest heroes and fighters for those who do not have a voice or a way to fight their way out.

 

Judgement is not mine to give.   I have run with the best and the worse, and in the world’s terms the most ugly and those who were so beautiful outside but the poison that spewed as they opened their souls through their mouth could not even come close to what half of what the world is full of.

 

Love people for who they are not what they do.  But common sense will tell you if we are consuming and staying under the influence those you once knew and loved are no more.     Treatment and the fight of their own bones, their own souls has to transpire for themselves.  If they do not you have to let, go and love them from the distance and truly if you are a son or daughter of Christ Jesus.  You are no exception.  In fact, those who walk with the Lord are hit harder than those who only know what dirty feels like as they live in Satan’s sandbox.

We fight forward, but the constant battles are beyond real.   For those we care deeply.  And evenly when we tire for even the whispers we hear in our ears.  

Life full force into the deep of hurt, joy, rippled effects of what was, what is and all the desire if only it could be.   So why do we not cling tighter to Jesus Christ who is never changing.  

Why is it we push we pull, we twist and turn.   Yet we never really hold tight and allow faith to lead us?

 

When we give it to the father, and not take even portion sliver, or chunk back thinking we need to make things happen in our time.   Well, we create our own chaos to spin in.

I am a pro at that.    Then the twists and turns I take that ride on leave me falling short in doubt, and self-criticism and giving up, letting go.

Speaking things to life that should never even be thought.   And cutting myself off from all that is waiting.     Truth is truth a lie is a lie and no matter how many tell the lie does not make it true.

Right is right, wrong is wrong.    You can live your life all day long as I life mine.   In the end do you really want to meet Jesus as your judgement entering the gates or do you want to know him now and celebrate when you are with him side by side at the gates.

 

If I am wrong, well then, I preserved pieces of me I never gave away to the world or any if the world could take.    I lived with peace, pure heart, and clear conscious and clean hands.   Living with value does not make me any better or worse.   But purity of intentions, in spirit, in physical being and all that we give away just to feel love of the pretender.   Anyway, it has been a long weekend that is now coming to an end…

 

Jumping up and running from housework cleaning up after others to helping for hours out in the extreme heat cutting dead trees away and learning how to work a chainsaw and even how to take it apart and put it back together.   Then serving the one who allows me life.   Visiting family and remembering just how blessed we are.  Taking the moments and burying them deep inside so no one when everything else goes can take them away.

Life is what it is until it is not and none of us are getting out of here alive.

Just be a good human.  Be your best self to not be that person whose troubles and choices bleed out cutting everyone else in the way.  Because all it does is slowly take those who love you away.   

Prayerfully I hope you find your way to wash away all that burdens and takes life from you seconds given.     Find that river and get washed clean and really get to know who Jesus is.  Not just to know about; really know him deep in your bones, spirit, and soul…

James 4:7  Submit yourselves, then, to God.  Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Roman 8:1-2 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life  set me free from the law of sin and death. 

Isaiah 12:2  Surely God is my salvation: I will trust and not be afraid.  The Lord, the Lord, is my strength and my song; he has become my salivation.

 Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (Thinking out loud)

Well, I wish I could have been the one to come up with the motivational, or truth sparking, seeking quotes or abilities to speak reason and logic to the many.    Although I am very good at what I do when I do it.  Be it write, speak, and so on.    I am blessed for all God’s people who open the door and light the way to what speaks motivation and life each day I am allowed back up; and I grab on to the various opportunities to dive in, study or want to better any part of me.

In my youth, I often physically was on point and then some and always forgetting about the food for my heart, for my soul.    It seems especially in these times of the pandemic and this stinking virus.      Especially all I have is the ability to quickly feed the heart and spirit trying to keep it clean, with pure intentions and doing way too much sitting around feeling these bones need to keep moving yet do not do near enough or any routine.

 

Yeah… Its me just thinking out loud, I guess.

I know one thing waking this morning.   Knowing not to move off the bed until I was done with my devotionals that take place before the feet hit the floor.    And yes of course once done with about 45-60 minutes.   I start scrolling through Facebook and other social apps on this phone. 

 

Reading things that made me smile, things that might be true but irrelevant, things about others and wondering just who they really are and remembering its not my place to care.

Thinking about all those people out there pretending and taking advantage of others while thinking they are really going somewhere.  While all the while they are just burying themselves in what lies will suffocate and destroy them eventually.

Thinking how when I look at some and put them on this magical pedestal how the world robs those who entertain us of their lives to where they cannot do anything for themselves without being kept.    Managing what they will do, what they will say, when they can show up until well yes a pandemic changes the world and then leaves everyone to figure out who they will be or what direction they will go next.

 

You do not have to be a superstar to have felt the need of change is going to happen and the pressure, stressor or anything in-between when people around you that no matter if you were close or not; you have just known or known of them all  your life and they are dropping like leaves blowing off the trees in a good storm.

Layer that up with some wars, and media that only chases down all that is dark all that is horrible; or even filling the screens with what the majority will find unattainable because not everyone can airbrushed onto Rolling Stone or Cosmopolitan magazines.  

 Fame and fortune is a great thing but what we sell our soul out to matters in the end.   Working hard to have nice things or our name in neon lights for good, bad or oh my God did they really just allow that on public television.     Well, I am okay in the simple life.    Work too hard most times and wish I had that extra to be a little more comfortable sure.    But I don’t want to lose my soul for anything I will do, have done or am doing.

And yes, by the way—I do watch those shows and have my favorites I love catching and seeing or hearing when new releases come out.   I do have those that feed spirit just by watching the aura around them as they perform.   Just as I am so often reminded who I belong to and to not get caught up and consumed in what becomes more important and temporal.

Every single soul on this planet only travels here temporary.    Every single thing will be taken away in the blink of an eye.   And it is hard, I won’t lie.    I love nice things but so often the beauty gets clouded or destroyed in our running full force until something slams us into a screeching halt.

Then we are filled with the spinning that causes our anxiety, our anger, our hurt, our WTF yes, I went there.    Just because I am a Jesus freak and madly in love with all that is written of him, all that He has done, all that He has gave.    Does not make me perfect or any less human.    And by the way just like Close the front door it was what the fudge brownie 😊

 

I do my best to leave that sailors mouth back where I learned the difference of controlling the tongue.    But I am never going to be perfect.     But let’s talk about it for a second while I am on this path of talking triggers and what we let keep us up every night that we will never get back and it robs us seconds, minutes, days and time never replaced from our lives.

So yes, if you read anything I write you know I share allot of beautiful motivational quotes, and scriptures from those who write far more elegantly than I ever will.    And though I do not share every single detail; that you would need to buy, borrow, or get the books off of kindle, amazon, or somewhere and read and listen yourself.

Just depends on what you want to feed your spirit.    However, I have been blessed and called to help lead different studies of materials that others put together for anyone who wants to grow their spirits.   But primarily I stick with circling up with ladies.      Don’t get me wrong… I know there is allot I learn from men and that I could share.    It’s just not my place.

Yes, I believe in equality… You do your thing I will do mine… that’s all now let’s get back on task of I am currently blessed to be learning and leading through scriptures how to grow forward forgiving what we cannot forget.   And I have a lifetime of things that I often wonder how I am not some kind of crazed lunatic being a vigilante in so many different areas.    Much less how I even talk to people at all because I have a overstocked baggage claim of brokenness and let downs.     Where I put all, I was from a very young age into others and well life just happens.

I can say it is by the Good Lord’s grace and mercy I keep getting back up.  And beyond my ability to understand the love of Jesus in my heart that still allows me to hunger for that deep passion of all that he is and just crave when will it be my turn to really know what that is from the outside in where it bubbles over from the inside out.

 

I don’t expect anyone to understand that.    But I am blessed so when someone such as LT writes about forgiveness uncomplicates all that keeps us spinning robbing us from the beauty that surrounds us.    I get it!   Forgiveness can be for others.  But really when it is from the depths of our own being.    It is meant for us to grasp on and appreciate life and just let it go. 

Something I purpose daily to never get caught in the spin and when I am there, and my heart strings are all tangled up and strangling me…. I just keep finding more ways to pour in the light that others in this world have also been blessed to be part of and share.

 

So a big shout out to all who keep getting back up.  All who dedicate their lives to shining hope forward even if they have to charge for it to sustain and keep going; all those who did not sell out for the fame and fortune but truly believe just because they have it; they are meant to pay it forward and help those in need.     Be with lessons, sharing life, sharing a conversation, sharing time when that is the one thing we never get back.    When looking down is to help someone get back up.    Instead of losing ourselves on the platforms that will kills us as we cannot hold on any longer and are falling in the deep.

Just as I am thankful for all of that; my prayers that everyone finds unity for all that is good…  That when your brother or sister fall you do not condemn, condone, take part in all that is robbing life, but you keep them in prayer and help guide them how to find the switch to come back alive for who God meant them to be.

Oh yeah; you absolutely may say I am a dreamer.     As this world is far from campfire songs and never-ending romance that we all live happy ever after.

But understanding who we are and that dash – dash in the middle of our timestamp in and our time stamp out.    It really matters with the choices we make or do not and where eternity will lead us.

You need not know all the thorns in my side, just know I continue to run through the rose garden of this world and if I am stuck and left to bleed out and the good Lord tells me to keep going, I will continue to be my best self to do get back up and do so.   You owe me nothing, even if you did.   I owe nothing to you.     My choices, your choices to believe, to want something better.   To pray for those who are so consumed by the demons, hate and anger are out there randomly hurting who ever comes near.    Who are themselves dying a very painful death to self and will forever be tormented by the demons in the dark!

We all get to choose each day we are given to get back up.   You cannot go out in reckless abandonment drunk under the influence and even if you don’t know how you got there you step up and come back to deal head on with life and stop burying yourself and everyone in your path while you get so obliterated someone else suffers or dies at your actions.   Or what about you continually saying you want life but yet you don’t fight hard and ask for help to change?

 

We all get to choose and its hard but fight forward in the light.   And forgive those who left you in places that changed you forever.      Make your next thirty years the best and brightest for you and everyone you connect.   Grasp on to a personal relationship with Christ Jesus and heal, growing forward.  Who knows maybe thirty, maybe none, maybe?   The thing is when you think of me or I you.   Hold no regrets and love deeply even the memories of what makes your heart smile and breathe love of Jesus in wanting something better starts with you right where you are.   Ask the father to introduce you to Jesus and to lead you through all the rips, harmonies, and fluid waves of everything that will come while teaching you how to ride the best years of every bit of life given.  

So as many variables that come through my day to day like the rhythms of every song, I listen to from one genre to the next your freedom is in the peace and love of what sets your soul free.  But first you need to find who you are to understand where you are trapped even if, even when.     

So, no matter if this mind maze pours out what will never make sense,  I see in what I believe love and truth in all that Gods creation is meant to be and beyond anything I can ever fully describe love in Jesus and all life should be, is meant to be.

Dare to be you dive in!    See for yourself and just keep seeking never giving in to the darkness that is consuming the globe we are in as the world shakes and everything like snowflakes slowly fall before us.

 

Thank you, Jesus, for another day come what may.    Be with me, be with the pregnant mother headed to ICU with covid and the baby has to come now to survive and is only 35 weeks.   Be with the family and all the unknowns crushing their spirits right now.

Be with those who are so tormented by something that has or has not happened.   Let their be rest in you Jesus.

Be with all the broken marriages may they truly forgive and reconcile to the unification that was chosen even if not well thought out.   Protecting your children on both sides man or woman and all the children involved. 

Stop the abuse of all sorts Jesus; saving our children and stop exposing them to the cruelty and demons of this world.

May we unify Jesus in love, in peace now.    Stop the evil and if that means coming now. JESUS COME!!

Watching the news where someone hands a baby to a stranger a soldier just to have possible hope the child will have life.     Watching the death and destruction Jesus it is not anything new, but may the world change now for the better.

 

Wash us clean healing each and every soul in for you.  Peace, healing, and hope be with us!

And until them lead me in the direction and path of those you wish me to be.

Thank you then, now and any tomorrow I am given.

 Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (Thinking out loud)

We still should always forgive even when we are not at a place to reconcile.  Forgiveness is for us and the ability to move forward no matter what it looks like on the outside.    If we allow things to rob us from life it is only our own beings with God that can change what comes next.   As we will never get back what was. (AMK)

 

Into the future of what if’s or fighting the battles of day to day I am, you are on our way.

Where that is?   Depending on the choices we make and that which we allow to feed our spirits or feed off of our spirits will determine the steps we take or if we lay paralyzed in blame, chaos, anxiety, or unnecessary struggles.  No matter what we are living through, in or with.  We all get to choose! 

Don’t let your own spirit be downcast filled with depression, anxieties over what we need to let go of and fight forward into the light.   

 

Yes, that is easier to say and write out than live through.  I get it being all the ripples and waves I ride daily with people, places, and things I let get into my mind, body or spirit itself.

But we gonna be okay… We have to start believing into what is good and bright and even if it seems to be unattainable because we cannot see it.  Know God has never withheld his promises for love, joy, peace, mercy, grace and all the healing and life he gives when we cling to His son Jesus Christ.

I will be home again when he calls me, and I will rest when my human vessel has been released and my soul sours on those eagle wings.

For now, I will keep getting back up on that surfboard and ride the waves of all that awaits in my dreams, in my day to day or anything in between.

Learning day to day how to forgive and the healing starts with and for me even if those I have injured or injured me along the way do not accept my truths.    As for reconciliation, it is far more important for me to be reconciled and have Jesus lead me than worry about what this crazy lost lovable, hateful world that spins so much chaos to control me.

I cannot stay down in what I almost or stuck in one sided dreams or even hard lessons that teach me things in this life I never wish anyone had to feel or understand.

Life is what it is so you trying to understand what matters is for you to figure out, even if I don’t.  I do not have to.   What matters is that even if all I get is that last thread to the Fathers robe to hold, I can assure you I will duct tape that to my soul, to my heart and fight all the way to never let go.

Love is not what we say it is what we do.   Only you can show up and start knowing who your really are in him and grow each day in thankfulness no matter what comes your way.

 

Father hear the calls and the cries of the heart strings bleeding out needing you.    Be with your children, show us how to light the way and stay within your strength.
