To live another day...... I can hear the families in the malls smiling and celebrating the season. Perhaps no one knowing what it is really about. But do we really think Jesus is worried if we make it all about him? That should be everyday should it not? Pray without ceasing is just saying continual fellowship and communication. That's what it means. To the believer its not that hard because he resides in you and is in constant dealings with our eternal being... our spirit man. But away and perhaps staring from afar are the ones hurting. The people who have not only lost at love but also have lost loved ones. People looking for a real reason to go on. Maybe even looked into God, but were told when they were sad that they had no reason to be sad because God was with them and loved them. Its weird, God never promised ongoing Utopian Joy in life. He said we could have peace that passes our understanding in the difficulties of life. He also told us to mourn with those who mourn. What is so hard about that? However we create this god in a box for who knows whatever reason and all of a sudden it is the way it should be. When we get cut, our body goes through a process. A scab, then healing. The scab is a protection from outside influences that could allow infections etc. But it doesn't just heal. Sometimes if the wound is bad enough it takes stitches. In the case of great pain and injury in others lives, we need to keep in mind that just maybe God wants us to be a stitch in our friends lives. Something holding their wound together until it can heal up. It is something we need to think of instead of just considering them needy and wanting to preoccupy ourselves in our own lives. Then there is something else to consider. When the stitches are out, sometimes with a bad wound there are scars. Some scars are worn with a badge of honor to some people that it is a reminder of getting through a rough time and you are healed up enough to recognize and appreciate getting through the ordeal. But for some the scar is almost as bad if not worse than the original wound. It is disfiguring to them. a constant reminder of loss or imperfection in their world. It is even perhaps more important to be considerate and continually encouraging to the people in this situation. Some people can rise above any obstacle that happens in their path. There are others that just can not see any light at the end of their tunnel and they become assimilated in the miry abyss. I have had friends, and known people who clapped their hand of life in the sign of....enough. They ended their lives. No coming back. No other day to have hope and keep on keeping on. It was their end. Their choice. Could others have made a difference? Given them a chance? In most cases people do not believe others care enough. They also do not think they matter and see life and themselves as a burden. I have had a lot of personal pain in my life. Lost my parents when i was a very young adult. Felt all alone.Married a person that was bi-polar. Walked on eggs for 20 years of my life trying to make everything work. Perhaps not fulfilling my potential. But, as dark as any period or experience in my life has been, I always believed it would somehow get better. I always knew inside life is worth living. Maybe to those giving up, that would seem a mystery. But what would I tell them? I think it has always been Jesus inside me. Jesus in me, my hope and glory. |
