“Danger or Truth?” Blog #193
WHAT gives deep meaning to my life right now”?
CAN I hold myself to a higher standard of living all day long?
DO I know how to lead a Purposeful Life?
Chances are most of us have had our share of bad days. I was told not so long ago,
“if you’re having a bad day, go somewhere, pray and figure yourself out!”
To start things out, how DO I start my day? Didn’t get enough sleep last night? Then from
this day forward I carve out at least eight hours every night. I MUST PRAY.
I ask God, “Take the demons from my thinking, Lord, Heal my body, mind and spirit”
Help me stop giving in to those around me with their secular beliefs. I stay strong.
Quietly I ask, is my life in peace or chaos, not worrying about other people who I have no
control over? More often than not, I can’t help others help themselves. So I must decide to
start with baby steps on MYSELF. Past choices try to sneak into my psyche, trying to bring
me down. The radio, my phone, the television, people around me, the news, family,
friends….everyone with a different way to live life. I must rely on TRUTH. Even when past
dark memories continue to haunt me, I pile these up now and give them to the Lord. This
time they are complete. For I include the powerful ingredient of “forgiveness”, so
critical to healing ME. Every person, every event every situation, I have no control over
who has hurt me, I now give them all up. I take a deep breath. Feeling a sense of freedom,
not felt before. I know this is truth.
I heard about a man yesterday, who for sixty years carried around seething anger. He was
bitter and cried for his loss. Sadness, blame and resentment building inside him, for over
sixty years. All because a drunk driver hit their car. The accident happened when this man
was eleven years old. His dad was driving the car and as a result of the accident, his
father died. This man said, “IF Charlie Kirk’s wife can speak out and forgive the man who
murdered her husband. Now left alone, she must raise their one year old and a three
year old. Dear God, I can bring myself to forgive as well”.
The reason I say truth goes into dangerous territory is because we all settle. We settle in
to one way of thinking, and we stay there. Convinced our way is the right way of looking at
truth. We may justify “No forgiveness for me”. Our lives daily evolve and mesh into our own
reality. Before in my Blog, I spoke about Pilot asking Jesus, “What is Truth”? Jesus spoke,
lived and died for the truth. Forgiveness is TRUTH. Regardless of how HE was humiliated,
beaten and scorned, at the end Jesus said this,
“Father, Forgive them for they know not what they do.”
In my life today and every day I ask myself, “What would Jesus DO?”
I too, have carried heavy anger and the back-breaking burden of “Why Me LORD?”
l lost my mother AND my daughter to horrifying manners of death - way too early for their
lives to end. Finally, I embrace the real truth. Listening to Erica Kirk speak at her husbands
Memorial, I was overcome with emotion how she forgave her husbands killer. Filled with
my own bitter exhaustion, I carried a cross of such anger. Time for me to lay it down and
give it all to God. Believing my beautiful daughter and my beloved mother are safe in
God’s hands. I completely forgive the person who killed my Mother. I forgive my daughter
for dark choices she made at the end of her life. I begin to live bravely. Today, I embrace
the statement,
“There is no danger in letting go, finding the truth in Jesus Christ” Many people are
uncomfortable with that statement. People hide-out in a secular life. Sad, dark lives.
Now If I have a down day like so many of us do at times, I scream boldly internally to
myself, “Stop thinking about YOURSELF”. GO DO SOMETHING HEALTHY ALL DAY LONG.
Those who hide behind drugs, vapes and alcohol are kidding themselves. Hiding behind
TikTok and Social Media also not truth sources. Lying and Deception are all over Social
Media. Evil is a rising power on the Internet and uses camouflaged control. Only a person
with courage, integrity and conviction will TURN OFF social media liars on the Internet.
Finding healthy outposts and alternative positive outlets. A courageous person with a
Strong Moral Code prevails. I listen to my conscience now tell the Truth.
I love the following message especially when read backwards from RIGHT to LEFT.
LAZINESS KILLS AMBITION
ANGER KILLS WISDOM
FEAR KILLS DREAMS.
JEALOUSY KILLS PEACE. (now read again, from RIGHT to LEFT)
