Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (my perspectives and/or feelings):
Thank you, Jesus, for this new
day of blessings and opportunities.
My morning Soapbox. With the Christmas countdown upon us I
realize not everyone gets the various theology and meaning behind Christmas. And although Santa Claus is fun and receiving
gifts unexpectedly fills us up.
I am pulled this morning to just dig in and share a little bit about the real reason for the season; no matter how commercialized or materialistic we make it.
I am pulled this morning to just dig in and share a little bit about the real reason for the season; no matter how commercialized or materialistic we make it.
Just know there is no amount of
money, no material things or anything for that matter that this world can give
or take from you; to define who you really are. Jesus died for each and every one of us; so,
we could have life. There is no price
that can be reconciled for that gift and true meaning or worth for any life itself.
Then, now or anytime in the
future; whenever you doubt or fear any of what may be happening. Anytime you get knocked down. Call out to Jesus to show you the way and
the truth; and get back up. No matter
how many times you have to do so; just keep doing it!
We all believe in something; I
believe God’s love truly is the reason of the season. I pray His spirit lives within you as well and
you too can feel a love from the inside out.
As I wish this blessing to all no matter what you believe or participate
in. Much peace, love and harmony for
all that is good, all that is bright and all that is pure. For all the days you are given to have life
on this planet.
So, no matter what you can give
or accept from others. Know to give
yourself the gift of life by building a relationship and accept Jesus Christ into
your life right here, right now. Make
Him your confidant, your best friend and He will always be the lover and keeper
of your soul.
It starts with each one of us to know
our value in Christ and shine brightly.
Give yourself the gift of eternal life and define a path of hope and
love for all the littles that you lead by example. Yes, they are watching and following no
matter if you believe it or not. Our
world, our future is what we teach them about love, life and respect in
humanity.
Check out some of what I found in
my own journey through my devotional times.
Merry Christmas and a very blessed and Happy New Year in advance.

| The Truth About Christmas” @Pastor Nelson with Bible Much
====Matthew1:18-23 ==== (NIV) Joseph Accepts Jesus as His Son
18 This is
how the birth of Jesus the Messiah came about[a]: His
mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together,
she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit. 19 Because Joseph
her husband was faithful to the law, and yet[b] did not
want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly.
20 But
after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream
and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife,
because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 21 She will give
birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus,[c] because
he will save his people from their sins.”
22 All this
took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: 23 “The virgin
will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel”[d] (which
means “God with us”).
24 When
Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took
Mary home as his wife. 25 But he did not consummate their marriage
until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus.
God is Love | Love is Jesus
Christ| Giving is an act of love

Thanks all who journey through
this mind maze and all the twists and turns that I am allowed to find sanity by
releasing tapping out on these keys.
May you all come to know the
maker of all the heavens and earth; right here and right now. May you all be filled with peace and healing
for whatever has you consumed. May you
be forgiven for all misdeeds or wrong choices that we all seem to make and leave
collateral damage along the way.
May you walk daily with Jesus
Christ and be filled with love and peace as if every one of your heart’s
desires are being fulfilled even if you cannot see them yet.
Through the blood of Jesus Christ
and the sacrifice from our Lord and Savior.
Boldly know who you are in Him.
Love yourself, love others even if!
You can fill in that blank.
Be well and have a blessed day or
evening wherever you may and during whatever you may be going through. If you were allowed up and have air in your
lungs; you have purpose.

Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (my perspectives and/or feelings):
Thank you, Father God, for all
the sacrifices including the ultimate one of your son Jesus.
As I am reminded this morning of
loved one’s who have come to pass; dear friends that are missed; young gone too
soon; aging falling apart or suffering allowing us still following up behind
what life could be for anyone of us.
I am also reminded of all that so
long ago happened when you God choose to show us what love really means.
Reminded there is a time and
place for everything; and in most cases we will always try to make it our time
and our place. Or never understand the
why for when things occur that we cannot comprehend.
Lord, all that I am is yours; all
that I ever can be depends on you Jesus.
I am nothing in this vast world
without your love and guidance.
Surround me with your angel army so I may also surround others in need.
All that has come to pass; we
cannot change. Thinking of just these
past couple years alone. Lord Thank
you. Blessed beyond all riches and
folly. Loved from the inside out. Yes, there have been some extreme happy and
joyful moments in this soul; just as there have been some grand choices that
cost more than anything materially can ever come to repay.
To keep it real; to know how to
love just for who someone is and not what they can do or give.
To be so close; yet so far away. A journey for my Sweet Soul King; a love beyond
all space and time with and through Christ alone.
To have everything when there is
nothing is the ultimate gift.
The abundance of glory outweighs any
level of anxiety or misfortune when all that is done is for the greater good
and the grace of God who loves with His heart.
All in this world is temporary;
soon someday each and every soul will be gone.
Yet, whilst we are here to fight and forge forward in and with the love
of Christ. Holding on, even if it is by
the thread of His garment alone.
There is no justification within
any human ramifications. To try and hate
or hold the bitterness and anger. Only eats
us alive from the inside out.
I will never be anything or have the
“Confidence” @Sanctus Real https://youtu.be/DuZPOVFcFJ4 within myself or being truthful in many of
humanity to be or do the right thing in you Jesus. I need you and all you are to consume me for
your will not my own.
Nothing has ever been promised
Jesus to be easy or painless on or for this earthly journey. But you allow me to be a fighter of sorts
even if sometimes for the wrong reasons or believing in the wrong people. Or even for my own selfish ambitions. I will never stop fighting to hold on and
dare to be who you want me to be Jesus.
What that means; I do not know! Hear this heart for all our littles and up and
coming beautiful souls. May we lead; may
I lead by positive example even when it is so very hard and tiring.
Please be with all I am
connected. With those who have lost
loved one’s; those suffering with illness, brokenness, cancer, end of days and
not knowing what next for the loved one’s watching close by.
Be with all who are needing your
spirit to lift them up and out of the dark places where sometimes we leave
before it is your time. Grief, anxiety,
doubt and fears are all too real. Our
loved one’s giving themselves away trying to find what only you can fulfill.
Beautiful souls out there wanting
to be loved forever and feel what love is just giving themselves away only to
be tossed out like dirty rags.
Many covering themselves with all
they can get or do in this world still running so empty and alone.
Jesus Come!
Father your abundant mercy and
grace none of us deserve; those who know and walk with you know this. Show us the way to shine your light of hope
and love greater in the up and coming days; than it has ever shined before.
My eyes are wide open Jesus; all
that I am yearns for what you alone direct me through. Show me how, where, when. I need not know why. Knowing it is you, is all that is needed.
Now and my remaining days spirit
lead me for I am yours and you are mine! “Oceans - Where Feet May Fail” @Hillsong United https://youtu.be/X1SuHByAgno
No matter what thoughts trigger
my soul to leak out; no matter what feelings I may feel, or even the thoughts
of “What
if I Stumble” @DC Talk https://youtu.be/kg6HedZ4xGs
You alone bound all that I a will
ever be; knowing you will always be for us and not against us.
====1 Kings 8:57 ==== (NIV)
May
the Lord our God be with us as
he was with our ancestors; may he never leave us nor forsake us. ====2 Chronicles13:12 ==== (NIV) God is with us; he is our leader. His priests with
their trumpets will sound the battle cry against you. People of Israel, do not
fight against the Lord, the God of your
ancestors, for you will not succeed.”
This is my cry Jesus; never to
fight against you ever again; to let all I come to know the greatness of your
blessings. “Freedom Hymn” @Austin French https://youtu.be/r-VfFTVu-6E
No matter what makes sense; what
does not; no matter the who, what, when why or even my own “Broken Prayers” @Riley Clemmons https://youtu.be/cBDt_-tIfLI You will always be there; taking my messes or
anything else. For this I can never
repay.
So on the days when I have
allowed the world to dictate what is important; guide me straight to you.
Forgive all that I am when I
absolutely fall short and engage in offenses or am collateral damage of offenses
of all things Lord.
As I forgive those who have pieces
of me over time; I pray they are face down with you daily finding their way
where it matters most in you.
Let love and forgiveness guide
and protect us and all that you are now and always in the here and now and lead
us to the grand celebration on the other side to eternity. Please release all who were not able to ask
for forgiveness Jesus before they were taken from this earth. Please allow all your children and souls the
mercy and grace only you can give.
Thank you for this year; this
life; and all that I can ever be. AlwaysMe
trying to fight forward remaining accountable; real and filled with you Jesus.

Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (my perspectives and/or feelings):
Happy Thankful Thursday. No reason especially just that I am alive another day.
My thoughts today tagged me back to yesterday’s thoughts around that vial message I received in error.
Something that stuck with me was the fact not everyone cares to honor themselves or the blessings the good Lord gives us. Not every man or woman unfortunately cares that the risqué behavior that he or she is in active pursuit of is more damaging to their life than any five minutes of passion, lust, or even that of just trying to feel loved and touched by someone.
Personalities are abundant; and how one reacts to rejection or just day to day for that matter.
Let’s face it; there are some people in his world that need help as they talk to someone for a second and all of sudden they are stalking.
There are others where you spend a lifetime with someone and you cannot stand to be around one another.
In addition, just those that feel everything is a rejection and they are out there being vial out of the anger and hurt them themselves have never resolved and carry for a lifetime.
Yes, there many happy good souls out there too and they are out there doing their best for whatever their normal is. Just reminding everyone; perception and perspective of everyone’s normal is different. Yes, there are the same kind of different as you, as me. Moreover, I am far from being an expert but I have lived a bit of life and with my own history and some of the things that brings tears to my eyes; or need to write and get off of this mind maze ride. Well it is what it is.
Prayerfully, it will have meaning for some and make a difference for some others.
What came to me early this day is that first for all my sisters and brothers out here in the world young or old.
Give your life to God, remain pure in heart, maintain your virtue until God provides your life partner that will love, honor, and protect you.
Life is hard as the journey progresses and if you have baggage and we all do; that we carry with us from our childhood on up. Well we are all in different places on this same roller coaster ride.
When it comes to needs, wants, desires and thinking, we know what we are doing.
We eventually find out if we did or not by the end-results; and prayerfully there is no collateral damage to clean up. More importantly, even if there is that we have that deep relationship with Jesus and all that He is; that will see us through.
When it comes to relationships and I am far from an expert, I sometimes do not still even know myself. By some of the things, I do or do not do. One thing is for sure though that I know; is that we all want love at many different levels. We all need that bond, companionship, and someone to communicate with, and even at various levels.
Especially for all those who grew or are growing up without a father figure in your life or even that parental bonding that should take place from the time we are infants through adulthood.
There are certain things we crave no matter if we came from a healthy home or broken home.
There will always be certain things that come from relationships that feeds our ego, that giving us confidence and allowing us to feel or affirm what we think our worth should be
That something that feeds us which is that of the same thing as we grow up we find ourselves in the wrong places with the wrong people and sometimes having the wrong things done to us; just because we have a need to not feel insignificant and want so badly to belong.
Yes, there are folks out there that just like human contact and just want to go out and give themselves away as often with as many as they can; and there are those who can’t be touched.
In addition, when I speak it is both sexes all! Not just male or female. Just as there are obsessive and vial personalities in both male and female. So many in humanity just want something different and they go out and try this or try that and the repercussions the results never turn out to what we thought to be okay.
However, know this; I am not here to harp on what I truly do not understand even if it bothers me to see and know how we as humans do things and how vile some become when rejected.
Rejection hurts, I get that; I am the first to avoid much just to not feel rejection. One of my coping mechanisms that allows me to continue to move forward.
My goal more than anything in our world I just pray each-and-every soul meets Jesus and builds a relationship with Him.
Know Jesus wants to meet all of us right where we are. He wants to walk with us daily.
He wants to fill the void that we so often find ourselves doing things or in the wrong places of life trying to feel and be something more than that, we find in ourselves.
Many fight it and many will never come to walk in blind faith even though they will walk on up in the darkness exposing all they are to death itself.
God is for us; and Jesus will allow us to grow forward if we only start learning who we are to Him and the fact the worth we are is far beyond anything this world can give and take.
Not to mention; even if you choose not to walk with God and know Jesus personally.
Surround yourself with positive morally sound friends and people. Know people for who they are; not what they look like; not what they have, not what they can do. Those people that have no agenda but enjoy you for who you are without expectations. Those people that have no issue lovingly to help talk you through some decisions you about to make.
Such as when a person is about to put themselves in harm’s way; lovingly you encourage them to change the direction. Not condemn, not condone but just letting someone know they matter and thinking about choices and no matter what the choice; with Jesus all things are better and are possible.
Anyway, we all have stuff; we have choices and none of us has a right to condemn and treat people with disrespect. Rude, disgusting directed messages or physical harm is unacceptable.
Moreover, for those who do walk into Pandora’s Box wondering and crying later why life is so jacked up or why something happens?
Well choices, choices and more choices! Change what you are doing and what you are allowing; love yourself more; love yourself knowing God sent His only son to die so you could have life. You are worth more.
Get over yourselves, get over the mishap, the mistake and grow forward grasping for all that is good. Stop letting people dictate to your life. Men or women do not avoid the situation, do not get nasty and absolutely do not take advantage of the person. Lovingly be it a friend, a girlfriend, boyfriend or a child. Direct them by letting them know it is okay to want and not touch it is okay to desire but wait upon the bounty of the life partner God provides.
We are all worth more than giving or letting others take away pieces of you or me over time.

These hard times are small potatoes compared to the coming good times, the
lavish celebration prepared for us. There’s far more here than meets the eye.
The things we see now are here today, gone tomorrow. But the things we can’t see
now will last forever.
Daily
Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (my perspectives
and/or feelings):
As I kick-start this day Lord; THANK YOU!
Blessed again with new opportunities, freedom of will and choices to make. It does not matter if the last 1 or 100 turned out with mediocre results or bad outcomes. It does not matter that we seem to be at the top of our life game and all is golden in the world, as we know it.
What matters is the fact is today is given; tomorrow is not promised and we cannot take back anything from yesterday.
That the right here and right now is what matters; and we must believe in you and we must believe in all you have created us to be. Even if we do not know what that is yet.
May our youth and those desperately seeking something to fill the voids of this world understand who you are and who they are in you?
The song that came to my head this morning as I rolled over and grabbed my phone skimming through alerts and mail. I forgot I had snapchat and it appears someone maybe just randomly picking my account or really thinking I was someone they knew.
Going off about a date they had and how nasty and upset they were because a young lady no longer communicated with them. Funny the song “Bell Bottom Blues” was the first thing that came to mind. https://youtu.be/aXRBnUezS_Y @Eric Clapton
Sadly, the rejection and anger in this person’s words were clear. I thought about responding; but again I was not sure if this was a random thing or a mistake.
In the mean time I wonder just how often this is really occurring and having flashbacks to my 19 year old self where I once met someone and when I got to know them; ran as fast as I could in the other direction. Even that did not stop them from coming to my apartment and beating on my door in the middle of the night trying to get me to open up and let them in.
How often in this world, are the souls out there trying to connect and really hold on to connections so volatile?
Then again thinking if there is one grand piece of advice I could give any one just starting out in this world; knowing we all want to have a life; we all want to laugh and enjoy and have fun. Some more than others.
We all want to be connected.
Stay pure! Do not put yourself in places or situations where you are alone with someone. Yes go on a date; but go with groups of friends or double dates. Yes, get to know someone; but live your life before giving it away.
Stay focused on your foundation and growth opportunities.
Love people for who they are not what they do; and never ever let them rob you of your moral values, virtue, respect or loyalty of preservation for greater things.
Prayerfully, your best friend is that of Jesus Christ and if it is not; surround yourself up with God loving; Jesus following souls.
Keep it real! Know even those who walk with the Lord fall short of the glory. We all make mistakes; but we should never let them define us.
Know if you have, someone that continually flatters you with words, actions and gifts; life is so much more. More importantly know that no relationship comes without a cost.
It does not mean you have to remain alone; or not enjoy life. It just means you have a choice and you cannot do life on your own; and you do not have control even when you think you do. Only God does for any path you choose to walk on.
The problem is; there are others out there that may seem well put together on the outside; but are tormented by demons and the lack of God on the inside. Moreover, if you are luck to make it away from them when things go terribly south. Take it as lessons and never travel that path again.
In my journey, blessed to know what love feels like to be here today knowing the many times from a child onward; what it is like to put faith and hope in someone only to be beaten down, broken, disrespected, slandered used up and tossed out like garbage.
Life is what it is until it is not. Know you are worth more than anything you receive from anyone in this world.
Protect the mind, body and spirit you have been given; because no one else will.
Stop just thinking everyone is your friend; stop going and making connections with every person you think you can read. For this young woman the message was directed to this morning. They apparently connected went and played miniature golf and either did or did not have any further interactions.
However, clearly it was not enough for the person who was very angry and rejected. Prayers for cleansing of this person’s heart to be softened, his mouth because he clearly cannot be healthy with the garbage that comes out. And most importantly he finds peace and the young lady he was seeking is protected and take care and heart for herself, her future and both take it to the feet of the cross asking for Jesus to fill them up.
Couple of things:

It is old from 1998 but Crazy is everywhere in this world. https://youtu.be/d2GJBSwwO_c @James McAvoy, Anya Taylor-Joy, Haley Lu Richardson “Split” from 2017.
Our choices start with us.
Be it falling in the hands of those who wish to harm, or use us up. Alternatively, just need someone to fill that misery needing company and be it we get others entangled or we find ourselves lonely and we are caught up in their world even for a moment in time.
Control is an illusion! I cannot say that enough; know your choices; thinking about the end game; the result. Pay attention always and most importantly fill your spirit and your soul with all that is good; all that is pure all that is God.
That does not mean things will not happen; it does not mean you cannot make friends and love on people or fill your spirit from the love they give.
Just do it with, the creator wherever your journey leads you.
Anyway; Father God be with all those who need direction and fill them with your spirit, and sensibility for their actions in the go forward or whatever life is given. Protect my own family members and all the littles coming up; and all the young adults I am connected.
May they walk with you Father God in peace, love and know the worth they truly are.
For no matter where we have been, no matter where we are going we are never alone; you are always with us. May we learn, and heal from every lesson and do our best to be the light to help those in danger and lacking knowledge and hope in you.

“COME TO ME with your gaping emptiness, knowing that in Me you are complete.” @Sarah Young
Thank you, Father God! Each day you fill me with reminders who I am in you.
When I daily fall short and condemn and beat myself up for self-image; or just not being where I think I should of, would of and yes could have been.
All these years blessed and beautifully broken for you alone.
Yes, thoughts and conversations around singleness again were the topic today and the day before and so many others.
Thank you, Father, God! For the freedom of will and choices. Oh, I could have chosen to not go a day alone; and yes, how easy it is to settle and get the hook up that comes a dime a dozen.
However, Dear Jesus; if it is not of you; if it is not real it will not be no matter what!
Been there done that; before I came up out of the water, and honestly let’s face it; I was loyal to a fault before I walked with purpose.
I dear not ever want to go back to just going through the motions and just settle. Just be with someone and tolerate nonsense risking my health and future just to not be alone.
For I am not now; nor have I ever been even if it took me what seemed to be forever to learn. Been alone. You Jesus have always been with me.
I have been done chasing feelings for a long time now.
However, Jesus, I still fall short and sometimes I open up and let desires and dreams sneak out of the depths of my being.
In addition, yes, how painful to Love! But nothing hurts more than that of what you have already been through and what you must see and go through daily with this universe. If this is how it must be; I need you to lead me “Spirit Lead Me” @ Influence Music @Michael Ketterer
So, on that Dear Father; I must take myself and crawl off to dream until you allow me up again.
It has been a very long day and I have been blessed every second of the way.
Thank you for all that feeds this soul; thank you for all those who serve you and light the way; thank you for all the lessons.
Please guide and protect all I am connected and especially the children you have allowed me to lead the way for.
Please protect all that I am while I work through the day today and clean up the messes this foolish heart allows me to get into.
Caring is sharing Father; May I get in a place where I can once again. Thank you for all you allow me.
Please be with friends that are ill; family that is ill; misguided souls I am connected and even myself.
Please be with our children in need, in harms way; fighting the world and all fighting addictions.
Thank you Amen

Daily
Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (my perspectives
and/or feelings):
Thank you Lord, Living close to you requires putting you first in everything.
How often I am entangled in the day-to-day not so much forgetting who and where you are; but just not acknowledging your presence or how near to all that I am, all that I say and all that I do.
No one will ever understand your language of love unless he or she themselves hold the relationship with you Jesus. Thank you for allowing me this blessing.
Thank you for this new day and the messages you fill this soul.
I deserve nothing Father God, and how it pains me at times to think back of the protection and existence you allowed me to journey through while watching or hearing on the news others are less fortunate.
Tattered, torn broken in more ways than not; you continue to lead me through deep waters and show me so much mercy and grace.
Though the pains of this world are real; the love and desire for all of you is so much greater. That abundant peace even in the sleepless nights and the power and awe looking out on your vast oceans forever etched in the depths of whom I am.
Thankful for whom I belong.
Not that I need to say aloud anything Dear Jesus. For you know all things. However, please heal my brothers and sisters going through it right now Father.
Those with debilitating sickness, those on their last days, those suffering loss and brokenness. Those suffering at the hands of others; and those that just need you to hold them tightly.
Jesus may then find in you once again the peace only you can give.
May we lead by your example Father God?
Please guard our hearts, mouth, steps and actions towards your will alone. Lord forgive us when we cannot get past ourselves and cannot get back up right away; as we have not forgot whom we belong to; I have not forgotten whom I belong. I just feel the weight of this world and find it too heavy at times to just brush it off and bounce back. Forgive me for this weakness and not living knowing; you are the one truly carrying all the burdens.
You are the one who has taken it all in strife and pain to that cross.
May I never forget no matter how hard; how painful; how lonely! You are always with me; with us! Here and now.
Thank you for this day and abundant mercies and opportunity to shine for you.

Verse of the Day (Biblegateway.com):
==== Luke 1:30-33 (NIV) ====
But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus.

The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over Jacob’s descendants forever; his kingdom will never end.”

====Luke 2:25-29 ==== (NIV)
25 Now there was a man in Jerusalem called Simeon, who was
righteous and devout. He was waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the
Holy Spirit was on him. 26 It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he
would not die before he had seen the Lord’s Messiah. 27 Moved by the Spirit, he went into the temple courts.
When the parents
brought in the child Jesus to do for him what the custom of the Law required,
28 Simeon took him in his arms and praised God, saying: 29 “Sovereign
Lord, as you have promised, you may now dismiss[a] your servant in peace.
==== Romans 8:23-25==== (NIV) 23 Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of
the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the
redemption of our bodies. 24 For in this
hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what
they already have? 25 But if we hope for what we do not yet
have, we wait for it patiently.
==== Hebrews 6:18-19==== (NIV) 18 God did this so that, by two unchangeable things in which
it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope set
before us may be greatly encouraged. 19 We have
this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner
sanctuary behind the curtain,
==== Romans 15:13==== (NIV) 13 May the God of
hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may
overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Daily
Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (my perspectives
and/or feelings):
Lord there are really not many words I can say to what the meditation and morning starters have not said.
The desire for you in every bit of my life seen and unseen. You are my strength, my courage and the everlasting hope in love with something greater than that of what humanity will ever comprehend.
Even if I am holding on by a thread on any given day; I know you are there making that grasp possible.
The world and all who are in it; are filled with adversity; trials and troubles. That what was written long ago and all that is yet to come. It is no surprise when children turn against their parents, brothers against sisters.
Husbands against the wives they committed to and wives reaching out to others rather than the husbands they promised themselves to.
It is no wonder this world is so full of animosity and misgiving selfish ways. For all who do not believe in something greater is true; or even for those who believed their entire existence but allowed the world to win and play the life game of chess; using up those who care most; while they no longer care for their own souls much less that of a soul for whom they play out.
Waiting for you Jesus; hope in the unseen; truth in the sacrifice that allows us mercy and grace.
Waiting for eternity while trying to have just a slice of heaven in the here and now. Bittersweet; yet for those who truly know and love you Jesus; know a blessing beyond all that will ever be discerned by any soul that walks this planet.
The best we can do is survive in your Father God, Jesus! Doing our best with what we are given; learning from the mistakes, we are navigating through. Knowing if it is not good enough to start it will never be when it is finishes.
Holding on to all that is unseen; knowing no matter what. The Promise of life you have given will have to be enough. https://youtu.be/rGgX_oqdib4 “Revelation Song” @Kari Jobe
For you alone Jesus; despite all my misgivings you “This Is The Air I breathe”. https://youtu.be/mEDcKZB7r2A @Michael W. Smith
My little piece of heaven in the here and now. Far deeper than anything that has cut in this journey; far greater than anything I will ever see if I do not look to see with your eyes.
Every child’s laughter, natures beauty, or mighty storms that come to pass. Just a glimpse of all that you are in which my soul cries out to please never let me go Jesus.
I am that insignificance of this world; that I have allowed humanity to place labels. Without you Holy Spirit, I am nothing.
For this will never change. For this, I am thankful.
I have been chosen and called a child of the most high; daughter of the King of Kings; Bride of Christ; Friend of the lover of my soul.
Thank you for loving me from the inside out. Thank you for this new day of life.
Please be with all I am connected; you know all spoken and unspoken prayer. Please reveal yourself to the souls who need you most; even if they do not see they need you. Be with those who are struggling to hold on to you. May your promise wash over all in my path then, now and any tomorrows that may come.
