Daily Verse / Meditation Moments
A God-Filled Life
2 1-6 Your job is to
speak out on the things that make for solid doctrine. Guide older men into
lives of temperance, dignity, and wisdom, into healthy faith, love, and
endurance. Guide older women into lives of reverence so they end up as neither
gossips nor drunks, but models of goodness. By looking at them, the younger
women will know how to love their husbands and children, be virtuous and pure,
keep a good house, be good wives. We don’t want anyone looking down on God’s
Message because of their behavior. Also, guide the young men to live
disciplined lives.
Titus
2:2 (NIV)New International Version
2 Teach
the older men to be temperate, worthy of respect,
self-controlled, and sound in faith, in love and in endurance.
“We can’t change
what we have experienced, but we can choose how the experiences change us.”

Prayers (Thinking out
loud)
What if!
Will you allow yourself to not live?
Will you stay paralyzed?
Will you take all that you think you need, want, or worked really hard
for that is no longer; be filled with anger and hurt to take out on others?
We are immortal and all that we do here leaves the legacy for every soul
watching, feeling, living right next to us or miles always.
What legacy are you pruning to grow in the future of whatever this world
has left. But even more so for the eternal
life we are promised to see. Our
vessels may turn back to the dust that God breathed life in so we could exist;
but our souls will be either North or
South.
The choice is up to you for eternal peace and the deep joy that cannot
be bought or lost in the pains and sufferings of this world. Or you will relive you worse nightmares over
and over and over again with no end in sight.
Yes, perhaps I did and do watch too many movies and maybe I will be wrong,
and we all end up in the same lost in space zone. Maybe I am right. Personally, I prefer to live doing my best
in harmony and love and peace for all things around me and not watch darkness
and evil hateful crimes towards humanity now.
Not even for the worry or hope that eternity is real. But for peace on earth with what we are
given right in front not chasing all that is far away or maybe, maybe nots!
Far from perfect and always will
be. I do not pretend to be anything but
me. I work harder than I should. I get frustrated, even overwhelmed at times
and some of those old habits I learned very young, or reactions creep up and
out.
But who I am, and what I do I own!
I make no excuses for my lack of anything; or my quick to feel and react
at times when I should learn to just breathe.
I am not out to prove anything to anyone; but that life is what we believe,
and we work, and we make it. I believe
in Jesus Christ, God the Father and all creation formed with and from a God
greater than anything we will ever understand.
I believe in the good and evil, just as the light and darkness. Just as we can know someone all our human
lives and realize we never really know them at all. That the awesome fun-loving soul down the
street that has always been so kind and loving and had that charisma that drew
you near turns out to be a mass murderer or a child that comes from such horrific
abuse fights forward to be something better giving back and not a statistic
full of excuses and always taking because they earned in the strips the world
gives them to have everything, they think they want.
If you think you are done when it ends here. That is your right to believe in whatever you
want.
If I am wrong about eternity, then at least I have done my best to live
kind and work for what I want and not flip out too badly when things do not go
according to my purpose. If I am right,
then not only will I have worked being my best self here and now and purposed
with what I am given. And will celebrate
on the other side of heaven when it is my time.
What if
Those dreams you chased were not anything as you planned.
What if
Like a bad taste after a meal, you bit into was not even close to what
you anticipated?
Do you quit?
Do you hate the world and every moment you are given taking your anger
and misconceptions out around you?
Do you get back up?
Go wash the bad taste out of your mouth and learn from the experience and
keep trying with a purpose to keep growing forward?
Look around anything can happen here and now. Silent, invisible killers consuming everyone
and anything in its path. From the
whispers in our minds to take that little something to mask the pain and get us
through until we have no control and we one day do not wake back up. Or even that little party favor that helps
us feel more comfortable and have fun with our friends we hang.
To the physical altercation down the road where a child takes
its parents life, or a parent takes out the family because they can no longer
cope with what this world is.
What about that pregnant mother that gave birth by C Section
that lays in ICU on a machine with the world praying around her just to be
given a chance to live life and meet the beautiful baby waiting at home that
may never know her.
What about the elderly mother, brother, sister, grandmother
grandfather, uncle…? The president of a company or president of the world. The teamster, or Lawn staff. All who gave their all being their best
imperfect selves that lay in nursing homes and when storms come those that are
hired to care for them and instead of
the workers taking care and learning from the wisdom of those that went before;
they selfishly do more harm than any good.
What about those that do everything to give our elders the
best in the remaining days.
In the end who grows in love and prospers in wisdom and life
in the end.
There are no guarantees just because we are the best most
caring, loving God following people.
Does not mean there will be no suffering and dark times. In fact, in many cases where darkness is
God will place those with the ability and want to shine bright.
Just because you have
fancy homes, one or many and the person down the road barely gets by and
lives in a tent. Does not make you any
better than they are because of stuff.
It just means you have much more to be responsible for in
payment, up-keep, and responsibilities.
It is truly what you share from the inside out. Look around this world we have. All that stuff all those collectibles mean
nothing. You will never get what you
paid for them. The West Coast of North
America burning to the ground taking every animate and inanimate object in its
path. The East Coast of North America flooding
and ravaged by storms that each storm season get stronger and stronger.
In the blink of an eye who you are and what made you is
gone. What legacy will you have to
your true self to leave.
It does not matter who you are as good as. You need to be good as you are for all the
right reasons that contribute growth and harmony to this world.
We could talk love but really what in the world does that
mean with people in this world we have been given any more. Those words fly so freely when people do not even
know the meaning well enough to love their own selves.
Pure agape true love is God’s gift of Christ Jesus to
us. No matter what you believe or do
not. God’s gift of our military who
lay their lives down for people they will never know. Just to give humanity on our speck of this
earth the chance to live.
What is it that we believe or are we just going through the
motions?
I personally am not who I once was, and I cannot even tell you
when that changed. But I know this, I
am no better or worse of those who have not made the choice to live abundantly
in Christ. In fact, in this journey, I
have learned greatly the difference of religious verses spiritual and the truth
of those who really believe and live for the greater good of all God’s sacrifice.
Judgement belongs to God alone. However commonsense is a gift that many here
and now even me at times forget to use.
Thankful for this day and the moments I am given. Prayerfully from the depths truth shines
bright; miracles flow freely; life is filled with peace, love, and harmony that
only those who seek the goodness and abundant life of eternity with internal understanding,
love, mercy, grace and all the fruits of Christ spirit.
Spirit of all the good that can possibly ever be. Lead me.
Lead us and fill this world full of so much mud and muck with the
healing power that glorifies God himself.
Teach us how to lead in love.
Breath in harmony.
And Live for all that is selfless purpose. May we make the streets of gold here and now
for all to dance and sing together praises of the mission to God himself.
What that mission belief is holds true in every single soul that
was given life in his image and the great freedoms of choice and will. Even if we forget to think and choose for
ourselves. It was never taken away.
Lord I do not know where I am going with whatever remaining
days I have left. But I pray you lead
me to never stop standing in awe at your vast beauty and amazing love. Be it wandering on a mountain top or desert
seeking refuge and whatever it is you allow.
As long as you are there; life has hope and meaning.
