John 4:20-21
20 Anyone can say, “I love God,” yet have hatred toward
another believer. This makes him a phony, because if you don’t love a brother
or sister, whom you can see, how can you truly love God, whom you can’t see? 21 For he has
given us this command: whoever loves God must also demonstrate love to others.[a]

Thinking Out Loud – Journal Thoughts/Prayers / Mind Maze Overflow
Find your peace and purpose in the silence. Find your way and shine bright ever step of
the way.
As it is so easy to say that the thorns of others passing
by you or stopping to pick pieces of who you are in this thing called life
which is just one big and twisted garden of all sorts of weeds, wildflowers,
and beautiful intention. Well so easy
to use the cuts or even the stuck thorns to keep you from breathing, from
living from getting back up day to day and just keep fighting forward waving to
the rearview and saying hey thanks it was real, it was good but not really good
to stick around.
Man I was on a hot streak for a while with Godly triggers
of waking in the middle of the night and writing some pretty profound
stuff. We all do it that write as a
hobby or career. I have a few gifted
writers blocks in my curio as over the years long before blogging I would
journey and share and then life, God, me not sure exactly would just feel the
need to stop.
Tired of sharing the real you in pieces where those days
you would like to face to face tell those who have served injustice just what
you really think or be part of the lining them up and watch God’s wrath wash
them clean one final time.
Tired of believing the good in people and learning along
the way. We are not what we do. Just because a preacher preaches good bad or
indifferent does not make him or her a good soul.
Just because and someone is a top performing artist in
the Christian music industry does not mean they really are devoted and living
life without worldly concerns or issues and even at times wrong doings.
Just because an entertainer has abundance, doesn’t mean
they have a good pure life.
Many are trapped in what the let the fans and world who
made them idols into the box that holds them.
And because the box pays well their focus became the stardom and shadow
of who they connect and not just living life as a the real them.
Hell, we don’t live life as the real you or me
somedays. It doesn’t take fame to figure
that out.
Although those are some pretty quick realistic truths to
related back in scenarios for many who need a vision.
Life is what we make it and that can be hard, it can be
blessed it can be everything or nothing at all!
We can hold on to all the cuts and pokes and prods and bleed out
everywhere we go. Or we can try to find
one thing that teaches us something and get back up blow kisses and put that
foot one in front of the other.
Forgive me for the blunt analogy however you can be peed
off or peed on. Or you can switch all
that frustration, rant, torment, wanting to get even and find the lemon and
make some really good lemonade any day of the week.
Trust me when I say if you have nothing or think so; you
really have everything!
The journey will be real for every single soul in this
world that is allowed to live. God will
defy the odds for many and then others the unexpected and never understood will
happen.
Giving a lecture to a bunch of middle school children
about obedience and respect and even listening and not talking out of turn
which is common you would think; much less the blatant rebels that show up and
tell you know, do whatever they can for attention and be disruptive and/or even
act out and accidently on purpose throw something and bust an adult in the
mouth because they didn’t want to do what they were being asked to do.
Why would they not act that way. Isn’t that what the majority of adults are
showing in the world to be normal. Lash
out, throw temper fits, defy authority, or just defy the reason why you show up
somewhere voluntarily anyway not because you are forced to do so. But if something does not go your way you do
whatever you feel because you can!
So, what about the kids that act out. You talk to their parents but because they have
no rules unless it impacts their immediate need. They just make noise. In the meantime, like a dog that will
eventually go down once it draws blood. Our
children are in danger of being consumed by the rabid materialism, entitlement
and when I don’t get my own way. I will
just take it from somewhere or someone else anyway.
That may be physically planning out and scheming to do so
just to feel that something that’s missing.
Or that may be just mistreating everything in their path including
themselves.
Our nation needs so much hope and prayer and God right
now. Yet more and more will fight you
over who God is. They are right God is
not alive; in them! If they are in disbelief
and fighting with you over things that we should not even think twice about.
God is alive when we have that full relationship with
Jesus and invite him to come live within our souls and seek him 24/7 good, bad
or any situation.
No, I am no authority, I have just lived life and see, hear,
and deal with people, places, and things.
We are so quick to judge what we do not understand. Instead of seeking wisdom and growth and understanding
that God's garden is filled with abundance; of everything in every color in
every size, every shape, and every scenario.
That child that is fighting what they do not know how to
talk about and struggling just to live.
To that child that knows no boundaries and thinks it’s okay to do, say,
be whatever they feel like at the time because someone will always bail them
out of the trouble, they are in. Those
children with disabilities, misunderstood desires, or forced changes at the
hands of demons.
What is our future I wonder?
Mine choosing when to right if or when I am feeling it or
just remain silent cause the love in that dream was abruptly overrun by gunman and
darkness in the lies and monopolies of the world games people play.
The crushing truth slapping you in the face when you
believe so much in those who light up your spirit to find they are more human
than what is marketed out to the public.
Forgiveness heals even though we are not meant to ever
forget!
Get back up, grow forward, and find your purpose to plant
your seeds for a future that is fleeting quickly.
Father God hear the hearts, prayers, cries of those who
believe in you. Hear the need for
direction and purpose for any kind of a future in this realm or the next.
Release us for all that binds us, trips us, derails us
from you and the study of you, and the want of you Jesus!
Cover families with the blood through the umbrella of
those who pray hard and wide for all of their families not just when they want
to pick and choose for something that may be gained.
One giant sticky bun with all that chases the sweetness
trying to devour our world and all those who are in it.
Sounds so morbid and dark but reality stings. Yet you Jesus take the sting from death as
you took it all the way to the cross.
Father the world is gone mad. Somedays maybe I have as well. Believing in anything but you; be it person,
place, or thing. I am sorry for that which
I have made it or even missing the mark and not responding and what I let slide
by.
You are
You will always be
Life eternal worrying not about what was, what is or what
will be. You have it all in your hands
already!
Show us the way; show me the way, please. As, just getting back up and doing better is
not an option any longer. It is everything
and nothing but all in, with and because of you.
