John 10:28-30 (TLB)

28 I give them eternal life and they shall never perish. No one shall snatch them away from me, 29 for my Father has given them to me, and he is more powerful than anyone else, so no one can kidnap them from me. 30 I and the Father are one.”

John 10:28-30 (MSG)

25-30 Jesus answered, “I told you, but you don’t believe. Everything I have done has been authorized by my Father, actions that speak louder than words. You don’t believe because you’re not my sheep. My sheep recognize my voice. I know them, and they follow me. I give them real and eternal life. They are protected from the Destroyer for good. No one can steal them from out of my hand. The Father who put them under my care is so much greater than the Destroyer and Thief. No one could ever get them away from him. I and the Father are one heart and mind.”

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

Just like the beauty of the fallen rose withered and browning lying on the ground.   Life’s wonderment of what was once and where it all went slowing and fading away.

From dust the world is created and in dust it will return.

May we never stop seeing the beauty of all that was and realign what we chase for all that could be.

 

Giving back to the earth we came, even just one grain at a time.  Through life and leading by good examples or by work and harvest to put back so much that continues to be taken.

Death, destruction and all the messes of those who have turned off the switch to care what next.    But only to rape, pillage and destroy any harmony and good that is meant to be.

 

Innocence and the laughter of our souls stifled with the day-to-day organized chaos.   Some forgetting to breathe into the blessings while others giving more than they should.

If we are lucky enough to look up and open our eyes, open our hearts, and hear the truth.  We are blessed eternally throughout the cosmos.

What is it you are after?

What is it you are fulfilled by?

 

How it hurts when we believe in others, and they become vial towards anything we are.   We seek just to be balanced, to be loved, to help stand tall and be and do our best.   While many like a fish that has been hooked, we find ourselves writhing and trying to free ourselves from the clutch of what will consume and destroy the very light we carry.

God knows!

Without a doubt only God knows.    So, what is it that we will choose to be, to do with the outcome?

Do we payback or do we shake it off get back up and stride forward acknowledge the blessings of the lessons learned trying to keep grow forward?

 

As this world waits for the miracles, maybe even you and me… doing what we do and waiting for our turn.      Forgetting God is already here; He is with us through his son Jesus.

Even in the shadows we cannot hide.

We can choose to not acknowledge all that will be.   We can turn the switch off and think we are hiding in the darkness that we release.    Or we may even turn up the volume trying to find that perfect harmony.   Shining in our own minds eye.

When in truth without a relationship not religion.  But without a deep spiritual relationship with Jesus Christ no matter what we know about God we will never be truly blessed for more than those seconds of feel-good moments.

I know what has been good physically in this life.  Just as I know what has almost killed me.   The scars did not define me but give more courage to dare to be different and want something better to not be like anyone else.

For a long time, we spin not even realizing what we are doing.   But then the day we are given in truth and light; like a brick that has been suffocating us slowly is removed and the peace of God flows through our veins like never before.    Unexplainable, uncontainable.   Pouring out, while pouring in.

Be careful who you confide, be careful who you open up to.  For not every soul that walks by your side daily is there for your greater good.

There will be many that thrive on what they can take from you piece by piece.

The foolish games they think you do not know they wish to play; even if somewhere deep inside you wish it were something more than just another plight or mission they were on.

No matter when or where your heart gets broken.   Just knows the pieces of you, the pieces of me can still make a beautiful display of so much more than just the breaking that you have taken part.

Love people for who they are.  Good, bad or indifferent and yes, it is so very hard to look past what is right in front of us many times.

The choices are their own.    Stay clear of harms way and run as fast as you can when they become the vampires that leach on and give nothing back.   

There is never a reason to hate although there will always be to recover and keep doing better, and most times heal for something that just did not fit right and left scars.

Hope now as in the only kindness and truth is what eternally matters.

Be thankful for all the lessons and seventy times more for the blessings.

Had I never knew the depths of pain I would have never been able to meet you Jesus.  Even though I was raised up with Irish Catholic family and always knew about a God that on Sundays was talked about and we were to tell the man behind the curtain our sins and do ten Hail Mary’s and not repeat it but go in faith and know we would be okay.

 

It was not until my adult life that looking back into the fishbowl and all the hurts and bad things that happened to so many at the hands who did not learn to walk with you Jesus.     Well beyond anything that I will never understand.    I am thankful that I finally heard you.

My story unraveling before my very eyes and learning who I really am even through the hurt and anger I once carried.

Through and in all the past jokes of finding that forever in a man to joking they are only good for when they are needed for something useful and keeping them on a shelf until that time comes.   Then we dust them off and hopefully they will do what you call out for.  There strength and physical being of something as a female I will never fully have.

Oh, even the bumper stickers I am what society made me.     In all the lies, all the hurts and bad choices bundling everything about humanity into one big this is how I deal with it.    Taking on I need no one as I can do it myself.

 

It was not until I learned how much I needed you Jesus that I learned the differences and that not everyone although bleeding out the same are the same in their choices and persona’s.

Rescuing me from myself and beyond loved physically, mentally, and most importantly eternally.  

That withered flower petals blowing in the wind washing over and through the scents of our favorite fragrance.    So is the love over the years with and in you Christ.   That you have allowed me to learn true adoration and growth from souls who reflect and love you first.

Imperfectly placed throughout this journey reaching down with the spiritual light and hand bringing at times more pleasure and relief through sounds, images and truth because their blessing and needs of you.

 

Though I may faulter may I never consume anyone I am given?

Though I may not ever shine as bright in anything I do as I should.   May I always reflect you within Jesus?

Yesterday is gone, tomorrow is not promised.   May I never lose heart or strength to keep trying to grow forward. 

Be it here and now or on the other side,  may no matter how alone our days feel may all I am, all I am connected hold true to all you are Jesus and know we are never on our own.

1 Corinthians 15:20-22 (TLB)

20 But the fact is that Christ did actually rise from the dead and has become the first of millions[a] who will come back to life again someday.

21 Death came into the world because of what one man (Adam) did, and it is because of what this other man (Christ) has done that now there is the resurrection from the dead. 22 Everyone dies because all of us are related to Adam, being members of his sinful race, and wherever there is sin, death results. But all who are related to Christ will rise again.

Footnotes

  1. 1 Corinthians 15:20 the first of millions, literally, “the firstfruits of them that are asleep.”

1 Corinthians 15:20-22 (MSG)

16-20 If corpses can’t be raised, then Christ wasn’t, because he was indeed dead. And if Christ weren’t raised, then all you’re doing is wandering about in the dark, as lost as ever. It’s even worse for those who died hoping in Christ and resurrection, because they’re already in their graves. If all we get out of Christ is a little inspiration for a few short years, we’re a pretty sorry lot. But the truth is that Christ has been raised up, the first in a long legacy of those who are going to leave the cemeteries.

21-28 There is a nice symmetry in this: Death initially came by a man, and resurrection from death came by a man. Everybody dies in Adam; everybody comes alive in Christ. But we have to wait our turn: Christ is first, then those with him at his Coming, the grand consummation when, after crushing the opposition, he hands over his kingdom to God the Father. He won’t let up until the last enemy is down—and the very last enemy is death! As the psalmist said, “He laid them low, one and all; he walked all over them.” When Scripture says that “he walked all over them,” it’s obvious that he couldn’t at the same time be walked on. When everything and everyone is finally under God’s rule, the Son will step down, taking his place with everyone else, showing that God’s rule is absolutely comprehensive—a perfect ending!

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

Catching bits and pieces of the televised divorce slander proceedings between Jonny D. and his what should have never been wife but now ex-wife Amber H.

Lessons learned I know my ex-husband Tim should have never been my husband to start.  Even during the courtship right up through the wedding day the volatility that transpired.    And somehow, I was just hooked and thought things would change.   Or I could work myself through it.

 

Not sure what anyone really thinks in the moment much less me.   When we are attracted to self-inflicted pain.    Oh, later finding our way trying to swim out of total destruction.

I wish both of those involved the true blessing of God.  But not to fill the pockets or more fame that defames us in the end anyway.

 

The world loves misery for company.   And the slayers that find nothing wrong defaming each party just for a little bit of something is absolutely wrong.

 

Trying to build a case pointing out each other’s faults and yeah, I get it one is suing for 100 million and the other 50 million and that is pocket change for their bank accounts but absurd in the world of middleclass.    Especially when both of those people are just people that chose a career that the world pays more for entertainment than anything good and decent.

 

My thoughts and perspectives.  It does not matter if you agree to agree or agree to disagree.    We all get to choose what we say, what we do and what we think about.

    Just curious what we do after we fall?    My own story I almost didn’t make it.   I swore if I were to ever get married it would be once and forever.

Two years in I was fighting for my life to just survive.    No big secret, my first divorce yep did it twice.     Was uncontested and nothing I would wish on anyone.    I walked away with nothing but the clothes on our backs.

Crazy how that all works.   Life is what it is.  The second time I married I married a childhood friend who about a year after my first divorce helped me get back on my feet and I felt an obligation after 4 years of being together I owed him at least the yes.   He was always my friend, but I was never in love with him.

Unfortunately, after years together he went and found someone to be in love with him I guess.

 

Choices…

Man, I can go on and on about what our choices would of, should of, could have been.

Instead, I am far from perfect and so blessed to even get a glimpse of love and lost because I was on the wrong track.   Then never know any at all.

 

I would have never been where I am today had I not lived through the lessons of life even if when they were happening.  There was no schooling going.

 

Fame, fortune, make the world and everyone of us in it crazy.    We make idols out of common women and men.   Forgetting we are no different just the jobs we choose and how we handle whatever comes out the end.

We forget to never stop loving people for who they are.  Instead, we chase what they do, and think we can get scraps they throw in the waves or autographs going by.

We are all easily swayed.   I know I have my favorites and absolutely adore some and at times have easily become crushed or pressed when I learn they are just human.  All the while putting on a façade for the world’s kaleidoscope.

I am blown away how this cancel cultural that screams for justice slowly or expeditiously has lost so much moral value for their own lives all the way they present the vulgarities of the human nature.   All the while they try to convince others to think like they do.

 

We as long as we are allowed back up dare to choose to be different.  Dare to hold that moral compass and drive onward shining any light we are blessed to share.

 

 All paralyzed in our own isolations of what is or what we think will be.

 

Me or you its all the same.    We either believe or we do not.   We either try to make it happen in our own time and doings or we give it to others to do for us.   We either allow Jesus in and to take the wheel of life or we recklessly find our way wherever the stops derail us into our own abyss.   Sometimes landing us in dark waters and others looking out across the waters.

 

One thing for sure.  Life is our choices but the depths of our souls. Well, we all get to choose that eternal peace and golden streets of brightly lined jewels lighting up the heavens with no more hate, no more sickness.   Or we get to endure the repeating process of thorns and flesh constantly melting away into nothing but the shadows of screams in our minds.

 

I pray anyone I ever come to know never take anything for granted.   No matter what is, what was or what could be.

No matter what hurt, what was right or what will be wrong.   No one loves us like you God.  And for this you sent your only son to die so we can live.  Nothing can change that but our acknowledgement within our own souls.

 

May all I am connected then, now or any future I may have.   Come to know your blessings.

Be with those who are cooking in the fire of this day and all that has transpired.

Romans 10:9-10 (TLB)

For if you tell others with your own mouth that Jesus Christ is your Lord and believe in your own heart that God has raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is by believing in his heart that a man becomes right with God; and with his mouth he tells others of his faith, confirming his salvation.[a]

Read full chapter

Footnotes

  1. Romans 10:10 confirming his salvation, literally, “confession is made unto salvation.”

Romans 10:9-10 (MSG)

4-10 The earlier revelation was intended simply to get us ready for the Messiah, who then puts everything right for those who trust him to do it. Moses wrote that anyone who insists on using the law code to live right before God soon discovers it’s not so easy—every detail of life regulated by fine print! But trusting God to shape the right living in us is a different story—no precarious climb up to heaven to recruit the Messiah, no dangerous descent into hell to rescue the Messiah. So what exactly was Moses saying?

The word that saves is right here,
    as near as the tongue in your mouth,
    as close as the heart in your chest.

It’s the word of faith that welcomes God to go to work and set things right for us. This is the core of our preaching. Say the welcoming word to God—“Jesus is my Master”—embracing, body and soul, God’s work of doing in us what he did in raising Jesus from the dead. That’s it. You’re not “doing” anything; you’re simply calling out to God, trusting him to do it for you. That’s salvation. With your whole being you embrace God setting things right, and then you say it, right out loud: “God has set everything right between him and me!”

God turn it around

Shine the light, kill the switch, stop the madness.   As we prepare for the battle of any given day given.  Forgetting truly the blessing we have been given the ability to get back up one more time.

Sadness and corruption plaguing the very air you give as blessing while the demons use, abuse, torment what was meant to be for beauty and good.

Take us back when we knew the war may continue but the spiritual war has already been won by leaps and bounds through and with you.

 

Perfectly loved even in the hands of evil.    Innocence forever tarnished and scared does not mean it is over as the breakthrough will come.

How can one not lose their way  or the words to fill that writes block as one missiles fires and we are in the cloud and learning how to code and prepare for what is next and the other brings us to our spiritual knees in front of you face down.

Maybe they will understand, maybe they will never.  Yet it matters not as long as the love we know is the truth and the way you breathe into every soul you call your own.

Make a way in and with all that I am and am connected.

Bring me back when ever second engaged and consumed all that I am with you.

How easy we can forget to secure all that we are in you.  In thanks and gratitude when you came out of that grave and I don’t know how; yet the same when we come up out of that water.   Forever beyond anything anyone will ever have control of.

It is you!

Like a child running barefoot through meadows of wildflowers grabbing and making wishes on the dandelions or four-leaf clovers.

Never suspecting anything but the laughter and giggles that once were real.  As you Christ Jesus smile down knowing it is done and it is your will that allows what was to overcome through what will be.

Here we are all we have now is the truth in the depths of our souls hopefully with the praise and thanks due.

Yet the unique creation we are coming up out of that dust fighting forward or just fighting.   Perhaps with real hurdles and things to overcome or just the battle that rages within.

May the lion inside of the lungs that is filled with the air of life give all we are back to the one who allows us to be in the first place.

Stand tall, stand up.   Even if forever alone or circled buy what can destroy what we know it here and now.

No one is one size fits all.     We will all have like circumstances; all will have our broken pieces that leave us sometimes to bleed out or even quit.

But we all bleed the same and we all forever beyond the beginning and beyond any end we may know will belong to Jesus Christ.

 

From the disabled at birth to disabled in life at the hands of others.

From the love we lost or the love waiting to connect.

We are and always will be the most beautiful creation that Christ has ever breathed life into.

We can put all we have into people, places, and things.  We can believe we have life in all those others give us instead of just giving thanks for the blessings at that time and place so that when something changes and something is no longer enough and they reach out past us and the hooks they leave in us feel like our very souls are being ripped out.   Or we can know how and who truly rescues’ us!

 

Love is real; for God so loved the world and wanted relationship he came to life through Jesus Christ who loved and wanted relationship with and for us.

I have loved for what I knew was love back then and lost and thankful that when real love came to understand the difference.

The love I have been given in life and the love that will eternally be in the depths of this soul to forever allow the deep adoration with want and need to acknowledge all that was, all that I am and all that I will be.   With or without the ability to touch the real you which flows through these veins.

Filling me with strength, courage even when I cannot go one more step, or want to keep on keeping on.

It does not matter who gets it or who does not.   It does not matter who pretends and who is real that never steps up.   It only matters who we know is real.    We all may believe in God, we all may believe we get to him, with him through trinkets or beliefs our world has always put in front of us.   But the only one true God and Creator can only be real through the relationship with Jesus Christ.

Nothing else matters in life in death.    Like climbing that rock wall, it is not about the religion stumbles and surroundings we will need to get up through.    Though many things of this world will give us comfort, excitement and even fill us with deep passion and make us think we have the greatest of everything that ever was.

It is all temporal until we meet Jesus’ right where we are every day.

It does not take a rocket scientist to prove the beginning of time.  But if that is what turns on that light switch and you finally see it.   Just do it.

But who am I but just another speck of dust in this vast universe trying to make my way?    Our hurts, habits and broken pieces are real.   The moment we were allowed to enter this universe and know what it is to be human.  All that we feel in goodness or pain, is real.     Somedays more than others we will never understand or hurt so bad not understanding why we do the things we do now wish to do.  Or worse yet believe in those who do.

Love who you are.

Acknowledge even in the darkness, Jesus is the light here or on the other side.

Humanity is like a cruel joke at times.  Watching the gifts, we are given lost, tortured, and tormented.   While others just constantly playing into the world’s hands.   Never once realizing that it is the God of the Universe with Jesus Christ who hold the world

 

No matter if this mind is learning new code, or how something should technically run. No matter if this soul is aching and in love with a dream that will never disappear when wide awake.

No matter if you love me or if you don’t.

No matter if you even know me.

I know to whom I belong and if that is all there is.  So be it.   There is no great harlequin romance novel to be written even if one is waiting to come to life.

For the love, honor, truth belongs to the God of all things and thankfully the Jesus that bled out on that cross came back for you and absolutely for me.

 

Life is what it is despite when the broken pieces fit back into place or not.    Give thanks for the moments you are allowed to get back up even to get just a glimpse from the outside in.

 

Lord

Thank you for this new day.   You know all things and all the knots in the heart strings that tangle me up.    Be with my connections, my family, my friends.    Give peace to those trying and grasping to you.   Show them the way.  May all your children light the path now.  In strength, courage, mercy, and the grace that only you give.

May you wash the hate away and show the world how to do more than just get by or survive.   Thank you for this day and all that have been and all that may be.    Thank you Jesus.
