Believe or Broken? Blog #111
The one person I dwell on today with anger, can I let them go?
Can I stop trying to blame someone else for my distress?
Where are my negative thoughts taking me?
I know the bad stuff that happens around me is there, but I don’t have to think about it. I
don’t have to watch the television or listen to the news or watch anything that depresses
me. I can handle my own life and just stay away from all the bad, right? Not really, if only
it were as simple as that! Although my life is NOT about other peoples lives, MY LIFE IS NOT
ABOUT FEELING SORRY FOR MYSELF EITHER. My life is not about remembering all the bad
things I FEEL someone else did to me in my past. My life is not about figuring out “why
people act the way they do toward me”. THIS is a waste of time. IF ANY PART OF MY DAY IS
FOCUSED ON FIGURING OUT “THE WHAT, HOW AND WHY”, SOMEONE HAS DONE SOMETHING TO
ME, I AM FOCUSED ON NEGATIVITY. HOW MUCH OF MY DAY DWELLS ON THOSE THOUGHTS?
Positivity comes from this, life is all about finding MY truth, my forgiveness for
myself and Letting it all go. I cannot bring the past back. Yesterday is GONE.
Truth is all about me finding my forgiveness. I will have an understanding heart when I
accept my role in life and all the things that go on around me. How do I build someone up
today? Many of us have unfinished business within our family. We have relationships that
have gone bad and different things we have said or done, have often caused a
cataclysmic failure. or complete breakdown. Perhaps one family member wants a
reconciliation based on certain conditions and the other family member only wants to
remember “past problems and events”. Therefore, no peace can be attained because
everyone is in a different space. This is occurring everywhere. Sometimes it is enough just
to pray for them and say “I forgive them for any past hurts, I know we cannot be in each
others lives, so I am moving on”. IF I CANNOT DO THIS, I REMAIN BROKEN. IF I BELIEVE HE IS
HERE FOR ME, I START TO HEAL.
Remembering, “I am more broken then I could ever imagine, yet I am more loved than I
could ever believe possible. The truth is I am not owned by my brokenness My
brokenness is not permanent. I have been transformed into something brand new!”
These words were recently shared with me on Halo. It was comforting to hear this,
realizing, I am not an island who is alone in my grief. There are so many people exactly in
this same situation as I am. I continue to work on me. Now I see every time I am upset by
another persons actions, I give away my own power! Sometimes it’s not possible to stop
someone from “dumping darkness” on to me by the words they say. However, with my
Prayer of Protection in place, I keep a lid of protection over me and DO NOT take the bait.
Protected in HIS light! People who are NOT living in the light love to wallow in darkness with
gossip, and criticizism and judgement. This is easy to recognize, trust me. So I say to self,
“I AM NOT BROKEN, FOR I BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF Jesus Christ AROUND ME.
Every day it is imperative I PUSH away hopelessness and uncontrolled anger. For we live in
a “culture of rage” that is sweeping the country. People are out and about with little or no
religion in their hearts. They justify no need for religion. Again as I have said before, I
cannot fix another human being, yet I can work on me.
How do I find my own courage? I must go deeper, I have to try harder, I pray more. “HE
listens when I pray. HE hears me when I ask for help. HE is here now. This is the simple
fact of HIS truth. JESUS is fundamental TRUTH. ONLY TRUTH.
Daily prayer brings balance into my life and I realize little by little that I am NOT owned by
my past. Nothing in my past is part of my present life. No person, no event, no situation.
Each day I am more balanced and I understand God has not forgotten me. Just because
I can’t hear his voice right now or feel he hasn’t answered my prayer according to MY
expectation, or MY needs. Everything in life is according to HIS time-table. Did I ever think
maybe I decided NOT to want to learn my lesson? Maybe I‘m just stuck in my own head……
Am I really THAT wise? Then and only then do my lessons get repeated in different ways
until the Universe gets my attention. Real Faith is Believing what we cannot see, belief in
HIM.
So demanding “proof” Jesus Christ really DOES exist? Then look around, it is all around!
There are miracles today everywhere, just look on line! You can find hundreds of
testimonials from different people ALL over the world.
Remembering my first visit to Santa Fe, New Mexico, I witnessed an amazing real-life
picture in the heart of town. We had only just arrived and were staying in an old authentic
Spanish hotel. The Concierge was sharing with us some of the “famous tourist
attractions”, one of which was an infamous old chapel. Becoming famous because
people have continued coming for years from all over the world for healings and any kind
of problem. The Concierge said there were dozens of crutches and physical therapy
devices left at the spot giving testimony to their instant cures!
The story is around an illuminated “golden cross” found in the desert. This is where the
church was built years ago and the the holy dirt around this cross inside this chapel has
remained. Even more miraculous and amazing is “how the staircase to the choir loft” was
built! No man was ever found afterward. This golden staircase now exists in the middle of
the chapel, visible for all to see. One of the most amazing features is the circular staircase
that goes up to the choir loft, has not one single nail! Even more miraculous is the wood
that has been used in the staircase. It’s not wood from any where in this world! How do
we explain this kind of phenomena? IF we but look, miracles, and more miracles are ALL
around us and yet it is in the unseen power of HIS energy that sustains us immediately. I
AM not broken, if I only believe. So, I ask this question,
“Is there a way today to go deeper, believe in HIS miracles?”
