As I sit here in my living room, on this rainy day, I have a candle lit and music playing. I cant help, but think to myself how blessed I am- that I am here today to breathe, to live & to even write this blog. You see I have made so many mistakes it is hard to even put into words, I have put myself in dangerous situations unknowingly, drank too many drinks to tell, but I am so happy that this is not the way I live anymore. That I can live and breathe and here the sound of angels singing. You see heaven is not withheld to those who chase it down. Heaven is a place not only upstairs, up in the sky somewhere, but inside of you, around you.
I could sit here and tell you that life will always be great and everything will always go well, but that would be a lie. Life is messy, unpredictable and at times difficult. Sometimes it doesn't make any sense, but that tiny, little seed of faith can do miracles for you! You do not have to say a loud prayer, or run a church group to be known by the maker of the world, you just have to simply, be and simply trust! A father would not abandoned his child when they need him most, so why would God do this to you... the world is not going to be a perfect place and it will get hard at times, but hold his big hands like you are holding on for dear life, he will not let go, even when you want too.
Hope deferred makes the heart sick (proverbs 13:12), so keep hope alive as best you can. Nobody gets it all, nobody has all of the answers here on earth that is why we pray! Not even mother Theresa herself knew it all, but she was an inspiration I love her quote that says this; Yesterday is gone, Tomorrow has not come, we only have today. Whatever mistakes you made yesterday or years ago is gone now, tomorrow is not even here yet and today is what counts. Some days are good some days are bad, but one thing that always remains is peace- the peace of God that transcends all understanding. I love this verse: blessed is the one that is steadfast under trial for they will receive the crown of life. - James 1:12. You see, all it is, is believing without seeing, and seeking and receiving.
A free gift does not require, a price, the price was paid. You do not have to perform or push yourself to be better, God will simply make you better in time. Healing comes when serenity is made! The definition of serenity is this: the state if being calm, peaceful and untroubled. Your soul, heart and spirit are more connected to everything in your life then you may realize! A healed soul is worth more then any money could buy! A happy heart will create a happy life and a free- spirit can be taken to places you could never believe!
You dont have a soul, you are a soul, you have a body! The great C.S Lewis who created the amazing lion character As-land (from my favorite movie Narnia), I love how he created As-land as kind. loving, yet mighty with power all at once! This is the perfect depiction of the heart of God. With so much happening in the world and all around us it is so incredibly important to remain in touch with truth and spirit health because it is all connected! God did not make you and form you in your mothers womb to carry a life full of anguish. Instead he created you to have a life full of love, pure love, the kind of of love that is endless, powerful and surpasses time. This is happiness, this is peace, this is God.
