Okay....Hello.This is it. The real deal. The real thing. No sugar coating. No chocolate covered candy that melts in your mouth....with a secret rotten peanut inside!. Just saying it like it is!
THOSE OF YOU THAT KNOW ME....Know I usually do....(say it like I see it)...Over the years I have toned done a "wee" bit...but I am feeling a rising in my "toning" if you will....I just can't take it any more! Too much pain and grief every where I turn these days!
Just take a look yourself! GO AHEAD! Yes...I mean RIGHT NOW...Well No, you can't literally look everywhere, but just take a moment ...stop what you're doing and .think about it....think about YOUR life...think about people in your family....think about people at work; think about your neighbors or even just the people you pass every day on your way to work. All the grief or pain and anger you hear or maybe close out...every day. Why JUST today alone, at work, I was approached and asked by two co-workers for prayer. One of which was not even aware of my spiritual relationship with Yeshua. They were both in desperate need. There were others that I could see around me at work, clearly going through very difficult situations, very hard times.
It seems to me, so much of the time....so many honestly don'y care.
I know that may sound harsh....honestly though....that is how I feel and I believe that is how many others feel as well.
Ever hear the phrase -
"Need a friend....BE a friend."...?
I really love that phrase!.....I have to admit I have fallen short allot myself in this area. Being so busy with work and the girls....And, well, friendship takes work, commitment.
I personally have learned to adapt without a close friend...in the flesh anyway.
But lately, seeing so many broken hearts every where I go...has stirred my righteous indignation up a bit.
It's a gift I guess...always being so sensitive, .being able to see - sense and discern peoples hearts so acutely....OR... sometimes it seems a curse....Seeing, what seems to me, to be such an insurmountable need and only being one person and not being able to meet everyone's needs.
Either way.....it's who I am ....who God made me. ...and though it has taken me many, many, many.... long years and broken hearts and victories won...I have learned to embrace who and what I am! And ALL for the Glory of God my creator and HIS world and most beautiful of Creations ....YOU!
I have to admit though, I have not yet made it to the finish line. Not yet attained that "perfect" finish on this lovely vessel the Master Potter has created. I am still in the polishing stage. There are many reasons I know this to be true. lol However....at this time the ONE THING THAT IS MAKING ME REALIZE I NEED ALLOT MORE WORK TO BE WHERE I NEED TO BE is the fact that I am having SUCH A HARD TIME RIGHT NOW WITH THE VERY PEOPLE I SHOULD BE SHOWERING EXTRA LOVE ON.You see, I KNOW BETTER, than to hold a grudge....judge someone who doesn't think like me, believe like me, live like me....etc...etc. Honestly, I have learned to love pretty much everyone; or actually, more accurately ...I have learned to let the love of God live through me.
It's just here recently, with this "heightened" discernment and sensitivity I have been feeling....for people. My heart breaking so much....FOR EVERYONE...I am finding myself a bit PUT OUT with those WHO PRIDE THEMSELVES ON THEIR DIVERSITY AND YET WHEN THEY FIND SOMEONE DOES NOT LIVE, BELIEVE,THINK AS THEY DO, they shun them.
I am having a hard time with this.
Especially....because they are quite quick to call the kettle black.
The kettle being me...and not even to my face.
Come on....if YOU are gonna talk about me....DO IT TO MY FACE.
Thank you. That is all.
Oh, except this....I do in fact love each and everyone I know. Each of you!
I think you are awesome!
Message me and I will tell you why!
Shalom out!
