“….It’s About What?” Blog #32
What is the strongest force in all the world? What is life about, really?
Think about ALL the feelings you feel every single day. People tend to “live on their
feelings”. Many people let anger get to them, making their day useless. You can choose
JOY, or you can choose day in and day out, to live in dark feelings.
What feelings get you through each and every day?
Feelings can break you down. Feelings can build you up. Some feelings are so strong
and so fearful we totally stay stuck in that sticky dark, defining mode day in and day out.
There are the other feelings of being lonely that become overwhelming, then more
feelings of sadness and those heavy feelings of substantial sorrow that simmer inside of
us all. How DO we choose to deal with the lonely, sad feelings of sorrow? Sometimes
before we know it, as if this were not enough to knock the wind out of us, along come
those sneaky, debilitating feelings that harden our heart. The lasting, hang-on feelings
of bitterness and regret.
I could go on and on and rationalize any of these feelings to adapt to my own world
very easily. I suppose that in some way, most of us can. It becomes an easy road to
drive down arriving sooner that we realize at the comfort city of “Woe-is-me”. But why?
Why do this? First and, most importantly it becomes exhausting. Then it is important to
see, It’s just plain useless. Lastly, dark feelings harbored within us, break us down. The
dark days turn into months and the years ahead - bleak. So with that being said - What
is a feeling that makes you feel good? Accomplishing something that needs to be done
and you have put off, this is a feeling of success. The feeling of wanting to laugh,
laughter. It only takes a few muscles to laugh, and it takes hundreds more to frown.
The feeling of being happy takes effort in finding a happy memory. The feeling of
contentment in “doing a kind deed for……..?”
I was once told: “IF you want to get over feelings of depression, sadness and lonliness,
go out and do something for someone else, THEN EXPECT NOTHING IN RETURN. This is
when you will begin to feel a powerful inner force working. The inner force of self-love.
We cannot love others until we learn to love ourself. When you push the dark feelings of
discontent away with the desire to help someone else, life begins to become more
meaningful. Then awesome feelings of LOVE take over. Our life begins to really make
sense inside and out.
There is an old saying that goes like this, “There but for the grace of God go I”. I believe
we are only here to help other people and learn our own lessons. To try and get behind
the people in our lives, (even those who have hurt us) with gentle, genuine unconditional
love. Try hard not to judge them, criticize or condemn them to other people. If we can
do this, then this is when life takes on a new meaning. HE is watching every move we
make. When we reach in and up and ask for HIS help, heaven opens its doors and
sends amazing angelic help in so many unseen ways. When we decide to start doing
the work that we know we are here to do, we no longer just exist, but now the healing
light, the loving Christ filled light is present 24/7.
I believe in love, because without true love, HIS love, as the song goes, “We just exist”.
There are and will always be three parts to our lives. ‘The past, which is gone forever
and like the tv channels - we can choose to remember the happy segments. Then
there is the future, we have totally no control. We have only the precious present to do
with as we want to now. Think about it, when people go on a vacation they most often
take a map. Do we have good directions to “Map” out our spiritual future? Most often,
we do not think about it. Lastly, there is the present - how defining a word it is wrapped
up in a present, is our “Present” where we live at this moment. I believe our thoughts
define us. Our thoughts define WHO we are.
I know how miraculous, comforting and safe I feel by taking HIS light into my life.
Daily purposeful, powerful waves of HIS true love vibrating throughout me.
As I close today I ask you simply this,
What are the “feelings” you have today, do you feel we are meant to take
more then we give?
