“Help Me Now” Blog #113
Do I focus on other people issues, knowing I can’t fix them?
Am I overwhelmed with where I’m at, right this minute?
What can come into my life to help ME all day today?
The other day I was perusing thru my phone and saw an amazing “healing moment”. I
watched a video of a young man attempting to steal a purse from a pretty younger
woman, sitting at the bus stop. He was successful in grabbing her purse. Then for
whatever reason, he turned around halfway down the block and saw now she was looking
for her purse with a “stick in front of her”. .He instantly realized he had stolen a purse
from a blind person. He could have just kept on running away with his instant prize. Yet,
he did not. He turned around and saw she was now using her stick In an anxious wide
circle, trying in vain to find her purse! The young man quickly put her purse in front of the
stick and she picked it up. Clutching her purse to her chest, she started off walking. The
young man now followed the blind girl. As she walked carefully, he saw there was a large
garbage can directly in her path; he moved it. Then the girl came to a busy cross street.
He went ahead of her and stopped all the traffic as she navigated her way across the
street. The young man followed her all the way to where she lived to make sure she was
safe. Then he turned around and disappeared from the area. This little vignette could
have been so different.
Every single thing that happens in our life today is a Life LESSON IN SOME WAY.
When our phone rings today, do I build someone up who is calling me? Or do I start to
gossip about another person who we both know? Do I start my day with a prayer of
“Protection”, surrounding myself in the light of God, and asking to have “HIS will direct my
day, instead of “my will”?
My thoughts are everywhere if I but allow them to be. There is so much noise around me.
I can only gleam “higher self information” if I center myself now! The young man who
was willing and ready and DID steal the young blind girls purse, was given an “angelic
example” of TRUTH. He immediately saw a dark deed he had done and he turned it
around instantly!
I know each one of us is saddled with so many painful difficult, sad situations, oftentimes
we cannot find an answer to. This is why I focus on today! I learn something new. I can
be forgiving of myself for past wrong doings. There is a teacher waiting inside of me. ALL I
need to know is deeply buried inside my heart. No reason to be afraid. I smile now and it
feels good. Even though I have family members who I cannot fix, I may have health issues
that concern me, I have people around me who appear not to care. All ls as it should be.
I am given all situations to learn from I STAY STRONG.
I remember going to the club to work out and swim and there was a very large woman in
the pool near me. We swam to the end of the pool at the same time and she just wanted
to talk. She told me all the diets she had tried never did work and she also was starting to
be so forgetful. Yet, she said the only thing that tasted good each day was her “diet soda”
she drank over eight to ten cans a day! I told her all she needed to do was look up on the
internet the dangers soda contained contributing to loss of memory, poor health and
weight gain! She ironically told me, in all the visits to her doctors, no one had ever
mentioned this to her!
We live in a society overrun with people telling us what to take. Every single ad on our
phone or TV. tells us “Not always truthful statements”. I believe I must discern for myself.
Every day I am flooded with commentaries and promotions ads, commercials are
everywhere! I must ask myself:
What are MY own boundaries? What do I stand for? What must I let go of? I cannot ask
for help for things in my life until I learn Who I am and what I want. It’s easy to fall back
on “artificial help”. Alcohol, drugs, darkness IS around us. The only way to access the
light of Jesus Christ is to invite him into my heart.
Many of us have children either still at home or out in the world with children of their own.
They will always have a “heart attachment to us”. They will in their own way, reach out to
us for advice, help and assurance. It is my obligation to share Gods Truth with my family
as long as long as I am alive. That is my responsibility as a healthy parent. Sometimes in
fear, we fail to speak truth.
This is where discipline, detachment and discernment come into place. In my world I
understand the order of obligation to those around me; Jesus Christ comes first and
foremost in every thing I do. Then my family comes next. When I am aware of who my life
shows obligation to, It is not a hard decision when I become challenged.
My entire life is not as I had hoped it would turn out to be. I wanted fun and laughter and
security when I was a child. I grew up in fear, hostility and dysfunction. I wanted to
someday get married and have a loving family to raise and care for. I made terrible
decisions when I was given tragedy and for many years chose to hide behind my drinking,
problematic people and chaotic choices. As I look back, I only regret not having courage
to choose wisely.
IF I WOULD HAVE ASKED INTERNALLY, HIS HELP WOULD HAVE COME!
ITS NOT ENOUGHT TO USE FAITH AS A 911 OR FAITH TODAY AND GONE TOMORROW. TIME
MATTERS…..EVEN JESUS WENT INTO THE DESERT FOR FORTY DAYS, WITH NO FOOD. JUST
PRAYER. EVEN JESUS HAD DOUBTS ON THE CROSS.
“MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?” HE CRIED OUT, ALSO SAYING; “FATHER
FORGIVE THEM FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO” AND LASTLY SAYING “FATHER INTO
YOUR HANDS I COMMIT MY SPIRIT”.
ALL THESE WORDS SHOW JESUS HUMAN SIDE - HE REFUSED TO CALL ON HIS DIVINITY TO SAVE
HIM! TAKE HIM OFF OF THE CROSS. HE WANTED TO SHOW HE KNEW AND KNOWS WHAT WE FEEL
LIKE… WHAT WE GO THROUGH EACH DAY! SO I SAY TO MYSELF. I CAN DEAL WITH TODAY
WHATEVER IT IS. I HAVE MY FAITH TO HELP ME NOW. I HAVE A RECIPE FOR MY LIFE, I START WITH
BABY STEPS, I CAN DO THIS! WHEN I WORRY ABOUT MYSELF AND MY FAMILY, I NOW REPLACE
WORRY WITH PRAYER. I AM COURAGEOUS IN MY BELIEF FOR HELP IS HERE FOR ME NOW.
CAN I LET GO OF MY MOST FEARFUL THOUGHTS AND GIVE IT TO HIM?
