Beautiful Child, Believe

     This is an earlier post that I had written. I wanted to repost this because there are so many people that were and are now still being physically, emotionally and sexually abused. They are made to feel that they do not matter and are totally worthless. As a child, they could of had alcoholic or drug addicted parents that made their childhood toxic. They could have been preyed upon by a sexual predator. I wanted to tell them that there is still hope for them to have a better life.

Beautiful Child, Believe

     I want the sweet taste of a new beginning of a different life in a different world. I want to live my life the way it should be. I want to find a way to my happiness. Darkness, be no more.

    What is the price I am willing to pay in order to have my happiness? If my happiness comes with a price then I have not found my happiness at all. I believe that true happiness is a free gift from the spirit with no price tag upon it.

    What is deeply within my heart is where my happiness is. It lies in the innocent of a child that I once was. A time when all things were possible. A time where I carried much hope inside.

    What has taken away my happiness? What has rob me of my smile? It was when the child within became beaten up by the world. Hope and innocents became lost and many tears followed.

    In my silence my spirit spoke to me. It said, "Abused child weep no more. Abused child lay down your head and rest. Happiness has not abandoned you. Happiness has not left you. It is still there within your heart. Let down that guard, you put around your heart and begin to believe again.

    Beautiful child do not be listening to what the world is telling you. Do not be believing their words which brings you down. You are beautiful and you do count. Let no one tell you different. A star in heaven you started out to be and a star you now are. Bring forth that light within and let all the world to see it."

     

Walking a Different Path

      1 Peter 3:9 "Finally, all of you, have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind." This verse tells us we should all be of the same mind when it comes to having sympathy, love, compassion and humility. Ephesians 4:32 "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you." This verse tells us that we should be kind, compassionate and forgiving. These verses are telling us to have a different mind set, rather than being angry and full of hate we should be forgiving and full of love. They are showing us to be humble rather than acting superior. They show us that we can live our lives in a different way.
     We do not have to live our lives being held captive by our negative passions and emotions. We can break free from our old patterns of thought to do good things rather than doing destructive things. We can act differently if we choose to. We are creatures of habit so we may get stuck in a cycle of unhealthy thinking. We need to break free from that harmful cycle by thinking about something else. The apostle Paul says in Philippians 4:8 "Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things." Distracting our mind away from the negative to positive thinking is a good way to start thinking in a different way.
     We do not have to keep walking down the same path in life that bring us sadness. We can choose a different one that can lead to our happiness. We go where our mind leads us. If our thinking is good we will do good things and if our thinking is bad we will do bad things. Proverbs 2:20 "So you will walk in the way of the good and keep to the paths of the righteous." This could be asked as a question. So will you walk in the way of the good and keep to the paths of the righteous? This is a choice we each have to make everyday. So do we keep our mind on the path of righteousness or will we keep on thinking in the same way? It is our choice to make in what we do and how we think.

No Choice to the Way I was Born

     Could I been a dog, could I been cat,

     could I been an elephant or could I been

     a giraffe?

     At birth I had no choice to be no other

     but me. White or black, rich or poor,

     beautiful or not is what I got. I had no

     choice to the way I was born.

     With arms or no arms, with legs or no

     legs, a mind of a genius or a mind of a

     child the dice rolls and I have to accept it.

     

     No choice, No choice to where and how

     I begun. Bless or cursed I had no choice

     at all. Hate me not for being my mother's

     and father's child. Innocently, I was born 

     into this world.

     This was an earlier post of mine. I wanted to repost this due to the increased racial tensions within our world. We should not be judged on our race, ethnicity or social class. Some people are born with mental and physical disabilities they should not be punished because of it. We should not have any less opportunity just because we were born poor or have a different skin color.    

Acceptance and Love

     Imagine what it would feel like to be accepted and loved from one corner of the world to the next. Imagine what it would feel like to go to any country and be treated like family. Isn't this how we should be living together in our world as dear friends instead of being treated as a stranger or worst as a enemy? I believe if we could cultivate acceptance and love within ourselves without any judgement attached, it could be a beginning of something greater for ourselves and our world.

     I believe we should be concentrating on how to accept and love the people and other beautiful things within our world. Acceptance, love and contentment is our way to a greater awareness, it is a way to becoming closer to God. The more we are like our creator, the more we will be at peace with our world. If we are to calm the storm within us acceptance and love is a doorway we have to enter. When we calm our mind, acceptance and love will be there bring us peace and contentment to our soul and spirit.

     I can't help thinking if we could resonate acceptance and love within us it would be beneficial to our health and uplift our spirit. A calmer state of mind would makes us feel better. Our fears and worries would be less or maybe disappear all together. Our consciousness would be expanding and feeling the world around us as a positive rather than a negative. I believe that is what we should be doing trying to touch the mind of God by being like minded in someway. We need to end our separation and start to see our world as he would like for us to see it. Acceptance and love can be the beginning to a global unity. We can start the process by widening our own vision and opening our hearts to acceptance and love.

Romans 15:7 "Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God."

1 John 4:8 "Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love."
