Speaking of that…’How is He?’   Oh, she said, ‘ You’d never recognize him now; He’s changed! ‘   ‘How so?’ I said.

‘He started drinking and now He keeps to himself.   He becomes very angry, and now even his own Mother says she doesn’t know him!’   ‘What happened?’   I said.   ‘ Work!’  She said.    ‘Stress!’   ‘He couldn’t handle it anymore.’    ‘I’m sorry to hear that!’    I said.

It could be anybody;  but this was someones husband, son, brother, friend, and lover.   He was lost, and He wanted  ‘no help’.   He was fine, and ‘leave me alone’ was always the answer.

Life is turning, changing and evolving.    It is constant, and  unyielding!    It is centrifugal force in action.    Life is brutal, it can swallow us up, and spit us out, if we are not careful.    Life is fragile!   Very fragile!

Someone wrote once: “Life is fragile, handle with prayer!”

How true!   It, if we could see it from above looking down, would redirect our thoughts, actions, and concerns…turning against the centrifugal force of its nature.

This is what ‘prayer’ does!    Prayer, enlightens, refreshes, renews, recharges, and redeems!   Prayer is powerful!   But, prayer takes work!    Prayer is to life, as water is to the body.   Without, death is immanent.

Just as it is a choice to pick up a bottle, or shoot some drugs, so  is it a choice to pray,and believe!

Unfortunately,’ evil’  plants a seed.   The seed of doubt, lies, and confusion are real.   The ‘spirit’ becomes ‘pierced’ and an answer is desired, immediately.   Because in the minds eye, God is not immediate, and not seen, He is not believed!    The bottle, seen, and tangible becomes the redeemer.    Unfortunately, it numbs, and the pain returns!   It does not ‘heal’!

Healing from the inside out, is God’s way!   He heals from the inside, and we can not see it happening, so we doubt He is working.   This  is human, and this is life.

We all face doubt from time to time.     Yet, God loves us!   He ‘gives life’, and He gives ‘eternal life!’    God does not leave one stranded, but rather is always watching, always loving, and always caring!   He never leaves!

It is ‘evil’ that controls with doubt.

God gives us wisdom in all situations if we are listening.    We must ask!

Putting God first, gives peace.   He loves to be asked, and loves to help, because He loves us.  He made us to love!   He made us to keep company with Him.   He wants an unconditional love.   Not a love with ‘strings attached’ and demands made.   None of us wants that, and neither does He.

Come to God in prayer!  He will renew you, restore you, and redeem you!God wants each of us to know Him personally, that is why Jesus Christ came.   He lives, and waits for all to come to Him.

The Son of God, Jesus Christ, will wash the stains away, clean you up, and make you shine as white as the driven snow, as bright as the sun!

The difference has been tried, and the answer has been found…God wins!

We each are taking this ‘test’ in life, and the answers are shared for all, but will you listen?

The bottle will always be there…God will always be there…try the untried, and discover for yourself what is ‘hidden’ revealed, way beyond your wildest dreams!

Let the Healing Begin!

Book of John Chapter 15 verses 9-12 Jesus Speaks:

9) “As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you.   Live on in my love.   10) You will live in my love if you keep my commandments, even as I have kept my Father’s commandments and live in his love.   11) All this I tell you that my joy may be yours and your  joy may be complete.  12) This is my commandment: love one another as I have loved you.”
