Authenticity matters!
But we first have to love ourselves to know who we really are
in order to truly love anyone else ever.
Each day is a journey, each day has purpose for the pain we
either travel through, watch others go through or we just get stuck in until we
find our way out. If Ever!
The darkness overshadows and will always be the first to
whisper doubt, not good enough, what you did, what you didn’t do.
I recently read something so true. And although I won’t go back and dig it up to
quote word for word the theory in truth is.
The same things we battle with others over is the same thing we should
battling against together. Especially when it comes to couples, husband
& Wives etc.
How often do we lose ground in the relationship we build and
fell in love with to build against things of this world to later even sometimes
hating the same person we committed to love in sickness, health, and all things. And
not for nothing I have known people that barely knew each other come together
and years later still purposing together.
While others wait with long term engagements, living together and years
later getting married to hate each other and divorce if not worse.
If we are not evenly yoked even with our plans and dreams and
spiritual beliefs and all those little things in awareness that annoy any moment
of our days, how in the world can we expect to be balanced and have any hope in
any relationships we think we have.
It takes purpose. No
matter if it is brother, sister, husband, wife. Business or personal. We all have to purpose to really know
ourselves and be authentic in every respect to have any lasting quality
relationship of any kind.
Sometimes life does hurt.
Sometimes people do leave scars, or we leave scars and/or thorns in
them.
But when we really care to have something work out, when we
really want it. We commit and purpose
through no matter what comes next.
That does not mean it will be easy or painless.
Let’s face it. The
more we try it seems the more layers pile up and try to block us, bury us or
just paralyze us from the gift of love, life and the freedoms we are all blessed
to choose to have.
Stop fighting with everyone around you. Dig deep and really understand who you are
and why they are such a thorn to you.
Change what matters and let go of what does not. And in the end if they really do not align in
partnership without expectations then why or what is your purpose for holding
on and being miserable?
I am no authority, but we cannot be physically drained,
emotionally drained, or financially drained and every expect any kind of harmony
or quality of life.
And yes, I am going there,
you cannot do nothing but take and expect it to run out. You cannot do nothing but party and have a
good time and not expect to burn out or get addicted and waste the moments you
will never get back. Work life balance
matters in every aspect of the lives we are given.
There is no liability if neither party agree to disagree and
continue to work through together no matter what the outcome of any circumstances,
they take the steps within any journey.
So, what is the purpose but self-infliction, self-gratification, selfishness
and at no point will we ever be enough, do enough of selfishly bare fruit for
anything next until it is far too late to reflect and correct.
Thus, proving the only thing, we truly need to learn, find
and maintain balance is the passion and purpose of something far greater than
anything we will ever be in creation for and by Jesus Christ.
May we find ourselves in the maker far sooner than any other
yesterday, today and every tomorrow we are given. In Christ, with Christ, for Christ.
Though I am far from a theologian, far perfect from adding
to, being part of or falling into. Any choices that rob us from pure peace, joy
and love so deep will I ever understand how He calls me His own and allows this
mind maze to flow. Although I am and
will forever be blessed in love even if only a dream with the yearning of
wanting the depths of something so great that nothing on this earth will ever be
worth the temporal lies just for temporal gain. To be my best self and always trying to see
for what it or who it really is and not just for what anything can give or be.
Where does that leave me in this journey. So very weary and bleeding out at times with
hurts, habits, and hang-ups even if not my own. It is and never was my job to fix anyone or give
anything for others who cannot get up and authentically do for themselves for
the sole purpose of abundant life. In
Christ alone though I give myself away.
I am beyond blessed and no matter if I ever see those streets of gold. I know I have been gifted to dance with Jesus
here and now and will until the day I die and, on that day, run even if into an
abyss searching for all my family in Christ to go have the ultimate dance in
heaven for eternity. If I am blessed to
see my family, my friends, my loved one’s in the here and now to have even just
a moment in time of the peace and mercy I
have been given. If I am blessed to
have that someone keeping me accountable and balancing as we stand through all
things awesome. If not, I am held and
beyond blessed for all I am known to be.
For I need nothing, and through out my life perhaps has been the worldly
issue. That when I choose to love it is
because I want to. As even in nothing,
there is everything!
