I’m Christian, but my walk isn’t as tight as a lot of others out there. My footsteps poem doesn’t have two straight lines, then one, then two…. More like one set zipping around like a squirrel with ADD, then the straight footsteps veering to intercept, and then footsteps with drag marks beside them, then one set of footprints correcting course, then back to two sets of footprints on the sand. I’m still loved like we all are.
That said, “Let go. Let God.” That helps from time to time. Use that as a mantra while meditating. Try it out.
The squirrel in me still thinks things are out of control. I pray for the moment the big guy says “Remember all that doubt you had? Check this out. Hold my beer.” It’s not my plan. It’s His. He wins.
Honest Christians will admit their journey has looked like this at times. My journey at the moment is hardly being able to drag myself to church where we put God in a box sometimes. I see God running the current WH plan and watching Him do miracles which is why I get more out of posts here than sermons at the moment.
You don't need a church to pray. God even asks not to pray in public. Over the years of interpretation important things from the Bible have been lost and instead we follow tradition instead of the actual word. Follow your gut and your heart and God will not steer you wrong.
This is my walk, the dragged feet trails in the sand and the Hold My beer statement. So many times He's proved to me that He loves me and that He is trustworthy. And I still don't trust Him. I don't trust anyone. He knows this. He created me. He knows the circumstances of my life. He sees me struggle, hears my cry, then gives an angel his mature drink (I'm assuming He enjoys something stronger than cheap beer) and pours out His work in me. Again and again. Love your comment. His will. He wins.
Just know that everything that is happening IS happening because God wills it. Therefore, you can remain at peace and thank God for it. This sounds ridiculous or impossible, but it isn't. When something "bad" happens, stop before you "lose it", and accept it. This is what is called "following the will of God". If you can thank God, you are that much further along the road. Life is a struggle to get closer to God. That is the entirety of it. If sorrows don't bring you to God, you are missing a lot. If joys don't bring you closer to God, you are not thinking about God at all. Do you thank God all day long? Everything you have, or see is from Him. Everything you experience is from Him. We are tested daily in many ways. How do you know if you are close to God? You display the virtues, which are connected to holiness. Are you kind, patient, peaceful, faithful, self-controlled, loving, joyful?? As you practice these virtues, you get closer to God, until you die, when you either go to Him, or go where you will never meet Him. It's your choice. Life is a binary choice.
Yeah, I try to make sure my light shines, and not in a self-righteous way. Nothing I can do to score that ticket though, it’s already bought with my name on it. I just hope my crazy candle contributes to someone else realizing they’ve got a ticket too.
