“Be Still & Search” Blog #97
Everywhere I look, it’s in everything I do, all my thoughts I think - constant chaos?
No calm place to run to, no quiet moment inside/outside myself?
Why do I feel so content with all this noise around me?
A long time ago, actually in one lifetime, the television came into place. Now there is
social media technology consuming us. Any information I am looking for, I find in an
instant. So are times better? Facetime, messaging, calendar, sports apps, all abound.
Yet, am I going outside doing healthy things for for my mind and body? We live in an
extremely secular society. Confusion and chaos is everywhere. Churches are getting
emptier and emptier and people stay angry.
Is there a place i can go to find immediate peace, truth and love?
How many of us go to sleep every night with the sound of a television blaring in the
background? Or music streaming in through headphones? Now with information
immiedate on my phone, life is getting faster and faster to keep up with. Ironically, few
people are on their computers or their phones seeking a new understanding of how to
find calm ways to approach daily life. I might interject here, there is one app that is
amazing, “HALO“. I find it very calming and peaceful.
Young and old, people are addicted to phone apps. TikTok, Snap and Instagram. In many
ways, destroying their outlook on life. People who are parents are no less removed, finding
hours and hours of time away from their family in lieu of social media calling. Families are
living together in their homes, separately. Morals and ethics are out the window because
“this is just the way it is” - IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE.
A CHANGE OF HEART TAKES QUIET TIME OF INTROSPECTION, self-forgiveness and DECISION.
SOMEONE IS out there to turn things around and give each and every one of us a new
moral fiber to work with. This can happen in a breath. So I say quietly, “My heart beats, I
feel my breath, I am loved”. It’s right here inside each and every one of us. A heart change
is taking place.
No need to wait any longer. I sit still, close my eyes, take a deep breath accept calm. I
decide with baby steps to start searching INSIDE ME NOW. I SEE MYSELF AS a better person,
a better family member, a better friend, as I find my HIGHER SELF. When I am alone with
my thoughts before I fall asleep, I am at peace now. Someone once told me when I was
very young, “You know how to feel better about yourself? Go do something for
someone else when they least expect it.” Make them a card, tell them a funny story, help
them heal.
STOP THINKING ABOUT MY OWN SETBACKS AND SADNESS AND I REACH OUT TO ANOTHER.
Perhaps someone might say to me, well that doesn’t get me money does it? That doesn’t
fix my problems does it? That doesn’t bring me what I need right now! Yet, actually it
does. Reaching out, across the spiritual void to another human being brings instant
balance to me. This act of kindness heals dark energy. This is out there for everyone to
try….. find the movie: “IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE”. WATCH IT NOW.
Life takes on such a different flavor when I decide to see life with LOVE in my heart and for
someone else that really needs it! We all need LOVE. First and foremost, I must find the
love of Jesus Christ waiting in my heart for me. This is my own self love and this love gives
me a CHANGE OF HEART FOR FORGIVENESS FOR MYSELF. I feel needed. The best way to find
fulfillment is in Jesus Christ. HE is complete love. Then reach out to another human being
IN NEED. It’s an amazing feeling to just give this love away.
Millions and millions of people all over the world have had near-death experiences.
Although these people live in different countries throughout the world, they have shared
similar experiences that are profound! They all talked about how for the short time their
heart stopped, they were hovering above their body and could see everything but in such
peace. Then just before they were brought back from a “clinical death” they talked about
“realms of wonder”, experiencing the captivating love of God and a powerful presence of
such love. They did not want to leave! In one particular book, “Imagine the God of
Heaven” by John Burke, miracles abound.
Dr. Richard Eby who was a medical doctor and a surgeon, fell head first from a two story
building and cracked his skull open. Miaraculously he was revived after ten hours. During
his near death experience he said, “Jesus and I walked in heaven together, but it was
more like flying than walking”! We were talking while suspended in midair, communication
is so far superior than anything we can imagine down here. Space is also “limitless”.
These people live across the world from one another and have similar experiences with
the afterlife. In another excerpt this,
“……an airline pilot had a near death encounter. He was walking with his angels. He said
they were walking on this path and he saw birds and deer; trees of incredible size and
beauty all of it having this light of God coming out of it, and the angel took his arm saying
“James look, and across the grass trotted three of the most beautiful horses I’ve ever
seen, and the grass was lighting up under their feet as they trotted towards him”.
Story after story, so alike in nature, describing a world of such loving peace. There IS only
one way to find this calm feeling, here on earth, and that is in the quietness of self. Asking
and waiting and accepting HIM into my heart today. I can find time each day to be still
and search internally for the love of Jesus Christ, who waits for me now. Breathing deeply
in and out, I see how easily HE comes to me. IF I but ask for the light of Christ to surround
me now, heal me and engulf me. It is done. I AM now aware of who I am. I do not forget
this power inside of me.
Can I be still now and search for the light of Christ within me?
