the secret to it all

Empty words are normally found, in the great abyss of this juxtaposed nature of my mind, where you can often find things to say, when you least expect it. That is, you have a small area in your brain, where there are countless number of words that collect over the years, to remedy awkward moments of silence, between yourself, and a person of no particular relation, (a faceless/nameless one), to help you move through the moments that are shared between 2 strangers.  

I only bring this up because it has made me think, even if there aren't that many moments as these that occur routinely on a daily basis, how many of these moments have I puposefully made, on the account of Jesus for the sake of sharing the truth to men and women around me? 

In my life, it seems, the truth is, maybe 1 millionth of 1 millionth of a percent. maybe less.  I'm a little shy when it comes to proclaiming God. I never had the ability to really just confess, excuse me, Can I pray for you?

Many times, we think of it not worth our while, to share in the possibility of sharing Christ purposefully. What if this or that, and suppose something might happen and we are put in a weird or negative outcome? Would it still be worth your while? 

 I began to question, how many people, that are up and about today, would actually go out of their way to make it known, to share the good news?  

I know many people say that they are  Christians, but to be able to walk the walk, and talk the talk, are completely different to most Christians who live in our world today.  It is not a surprise that we have become impregnated by a lull of stubbornness, where our own personal agendas take precedence over the the agenda of making God's truth known, into a permanent, ongoing, action.

Just because you pray over something, like, God, I pray over my neighbors, or I pray over my family, or I pray over my friends, will set something in motion.(and dont get me wrong... Perhaps, it will, maybe God in his perfect power will allow some great miracle to occur. It does happen I know,) but, even in those small moments, when you are praying just for praying, do you truly mean what you say? or just to fill up empty time, to feel better about yourself trying to say, yea, I prayed today, and check it off your list of things to do?

The act of living a Christ Centered life, and reacting upon your lifelong commitment, does not just end at the sputtering of some words that you said once, long ago. -Lord Save me a sinner, I accept you as my savior and my God.  But holding fast to the truth, when we are constantly examining our hearts, thoughts,  emotions, and lives, in the context as Jesus is holding our hand, is truly humbling, and delightful. 

First because I know, I can't save the world on my own doing. I can only do what I do, in the way that I impact others in the way I live my life...sharing with another person when no one else is looking, and even though I may look like a fool in the world's eyes, it is in that moment, when Jesus is magnified, glorified, and the relationship between savior and friend blur, becomes reality of professing, Jesus is everything. 

 Do I practice what I preach? Not all the time. I know I should be better, I should be able to do this, and not be ashamed, or afraid, and just share as some one once shared with me. 

 But the reality is, it takes your commitment, your willingness to fully penetrate your faith into action, as you live your life daily...

I wonder, how many other people truly feel this way? Maybe it is a time in a person's life when they do ponder many things, namely something like this one?  

My life is blessed, even though it is not perfect, and I don't always have everything the way I want it, God in his awesome power, still loves, instructs, whispers, and shouts in many ways and times, in my loopy little life. 

I think it worthwhile to share this with you. When you think that you have issues that seem impossible, insurmountable, and too weighty to begin to explain, it is in your moment like this, that I want to share with you, that God understands,knows and loves you so much more than you will ever begin to understand.

During many times in my life, I had experienced this first hand. How the vastness of my little problems seemed so great, so solid, that I had no room to breathe. But it was during the moment I lifted these to God, and lay it down. Everything seemed to melt away, when I gave it up to him. (of course this comes in viewing my problems after they had been solved by God...) But its the hardest thing to do. Just have hope, and believe, without any hesitation, to believe with 100% certainty God will answer your EVERY prayer. 

Perhaps not right away, in the timeline that you expect, but most of the time, its usually ok, or here's something better for you... is what you usually get when you pray earnestly....

 So, I'd like to pray over you beloved, that you will be uplifted, and comforted, and that the peace of God may descend on your life, and the Holy Spirit fill you with His presence in every supernatural way. May these words not just pass, but I pray, that God will answer you, in every way possible.  May the grace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, shine on you, today and always. May you be blessed, and moved, with the power of Christ as you forge through another day for living for Him, and through everything you experience today, remember how you got here, and whom you serve. In everything, my heart is with you as you walk another day for living for Christ.

Untill we meet again

Me.
