As I look out over this body of water I wish for the peace that it has. I pray for that calmness within my soul. I look at the world and I see the storm, the turbulence that is around me. The storm touches my soul and it takes away my peace. What is this world trying to do to me, kill my soul and my spirit?
I know that storm started long before I was born but I yearn for the calmness of still waters. Those before me may have sustained the storm and even said this is the way it is but I know better for I have seen the stillness of the waters and felt it's peace.

Rejoice and Be Happy
Oh how I wish I could change the world through a speech, a song or by some action. I realize that I cannot change the world but only that part that is ready for change. Even if it is a very small part then it was well worth the effort. I cannot carry the world upon my shoulders. I would only tire and fail at what I was trying to accomplish. People will go their way and I must go mine.
A man can do only what he can and if he puts forth his best effort then so be it. If all the world lies in a spiritual desert and you work hard to provide an oasis, then you have done well. You have provided a weary traveler a place of rest and comfort. He will remember your kindness and it will touch him in someway. A little bit of God's spirit will go with him and maybe that will produce an oasis somewhere else.
Do as much as you can and rejoice and be happy in your work. God wants his workers to be happy.

In Between World
Thoughts colliding, fighting for space to be alive. Like plants in a jungle they fight to push up and out of the crowd to gain life. Some stop growing while others push out and flourish.

A Theory
A man's or a woman's heart that is filled with love. He or she will be more willing to give love.
A man or woman whose heart is empty. He or she will be looking for something to fill it.

God's Grace
God's grace surrounds us. We can try in vein to ignore it, block it or even turn away but his grace is still there. We can either stand separated from it's sea or we can become apart of it. It is our choice to make. As for me the door of heaven is open and I choose to walk on in.
God is my salvation. Sin is my pain.
God is my salvation. Sin is my pain.

The Close Bond of God's Love
God's love draws us to him. In that perfect way of God we are striving to pull all things closer to us. We who are following in the way of Christ are trying to deepen our love towards everyone and everything so there will not be a lesser love within us. For example a girl that was a stranger becomes a girlfriend, a girlfriend then becomes a wife and a mother. By the power of love a girl that was a stranger became a girlfriend, wife and mother. By God's love we are pulled and bonded together.
God gave us the ability to attach to all life by our love. We bring life closer to us just as God brought us closer to him. We were once strangers to God than we became acquaintances to God and then his friend and now best friends. By the power of his love he has brought us to him. God has made us into his image and his love is apart of us.
God's love is the blood from his heart. His heart beats and pumps it throughout his creation. All of us are standing within that flow of love. Like cells of the body we are fed and nourished by his love. Then in a like manner we return his love so to keep the love flowing freely. Those who are without God's love are like blockages to loves flow upon life. They are neither receiving or giving their God given nourishment.
Our love always flows to God and it flows from him. His love spirals in both directions at the same time so to maintain the flow of love into all life. There is always an ample supply of God's love for anyone who is accepting it and willing to give it. The more we become apart of that flow of love the more we will be changed by it and the deeper our love will grow.
The attitude of today's society restricts us from freely giving our love. We hold back for fear of misunderstanding. Our present condition will not change until all of us become aware there is more to life than satisfying our flesh. We desperately need to satisfy our spirit. Our freedom to express our love and drawing close to others maybe limited in someway now. However we can keep trying to find a way to express and expand our love toward others. We must keep up the flow of God's love within our lives and in our world.
God's love will keep revolving around us. As long as there is life there will be God's love. We are within that flow and we are apart of it. God will always be apart of us. There is a great need to be like our heavenly Father and a need to express his love within our world. I know by faith that our God and Father will keep showing us how to express his love within our lives and in our world.

Destruction to My Soul
Woe to me for never having what I need and never knowing what I needed to know.
