You ever feel as though all the good you may do, everything just seems to fall again. No matter
whether you do good or bad the opinion of you never changes. You die inside a little more every time it happens. You want to be excepted yet no one understands. You feel like an alien living here. You yearn to be somewhere else.
Then you wake up. You realize even though the pain is real what people think means nothing. When you except that...life doesn't let you down. Some may call that low expectations. But their not awake. It is possible to be happy here in this life, without worrying about anything that comes up.
Your focus can't be on your surroundings. Your focus has to be on things that lie out of our grasp. When your focused on Christ and nothing else, NOTHING can shake you. NO person, NO tragedy, NO drama.
Romans:8-18 I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.
People understand this; this world will always let you down. You can grow higher and higher here but you will just have farther to fall. Why do you think Christ said the meek and the broken shall inherit the earth. They've lost everything here and have survived. Humble your lives, evaluate your priorities, and refocus your life.
Psalms :34 17-20 The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
The righteous person may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all; he protects all his bones, not one of them will be broken.
My life is far from perfect by earthly standards. Not perfected in heavenly standards, but my focus is there. I look around and see people just exhausted with life. The fog is surrounding us. Increasing our desire daily to go home. They are awake, they will not sleep, their only source of energy is our Father.
One way or another your home for the age to come is calling you. Will you ignore the call that will take you thru pain and discomfort here; or will you take the call of ease, earthly enjoyments and desires fulfilled.
One is a broad path, easy travel but ultimately ends in destruction. The other; a narrow path, hard travel, many obstacles to overcome, but eventually opens up into paradise.
Revelations: 21-4 ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death, or mourning or crying, or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”
May You Be Blessed With Peace and Understanding.
