M,
I should say that this is
not about doom or gloom. There is nothing dark about the state of bliss that is
loving God. It may not seem this way. In fact, it rarely feels that way in the
working out of your salvation. Yet, three score and ten or whatever time we
have left is a tiny grain of sand on the beach multiplied by infinity in
comparison to what we have forever. The glory is worth the temporary pain.
And it never feels like it.
That is fine also. Feeling you will find is secondary to knowing. It will take
time. We have all the time in the…
The most important thing to
know is that you do not walk alone. Isolation makes everything worse. Feeling like
the world and everything else is against you is always the recipe for decay. We
have to break free of the idea that we are lone rangers, bastions of our own
truth and the only good intentioned folk in a sea of snakes. We are not. There are
people all around us as well meaning and as flawed as we are. They also suffer
the slings and arrows of fate or fortune. On them we must practice how to love.
Above all that is the
presence of God. There is nothing like this. You could never get away from it.
He is present in everything. He can be present in everything you see. If you
would only see. He is already there. If you would only wake up.
