Reflections

People don't always realize when they are in a good place...
Maybe it's because we often are always looking for something better... brighter...
more fulfilling...

It's in human nature.

Looking for a purpose greater than what we are currently involved in..
As humans we are looking for things that drive faster... work better.. produce more.. look prettier..

That's what we are looking for.
Now as I'm writing.. I feel as if I'm having a dejuvu moment- about a time just a bit ago when I wrote about a feeling the same.

When we are experiencing something above elation.. we forget the bad times.. we forget the unruly times.. we forget even the thoughts we were thinking a few seconds prior to our sudden ecstasy. We are fluid beings; beings that are capable of thinking and moving and accomplishing much...

We have things that stop us...
Thoughts...
Addictions...
Hate...
Wealth...
Prejudice...

Lots of things. We get lost. We get confused. We actually do need... a Savior.

The problem with humans is that we're looking for our own personal fulfillment.. but we don't even know what this is... because we don't know ourselves... yeah we don't know ourselves. scary.

The one who made us, the creator, has had his hand on us since the beginning of creation... and knows everything about us.. our desires.. our needs.. our wants.. even...

our purpose.

The purpose.. the purpose of life. That would be nice to know.. only discoverable... by listening to what God's telling you?

So wait, hold up- my purpose isn't the ritual... grow up , learn, get married, start a family, grow old, die? Uhm.. no. I don't think so. And yours isn't either.

Although there are things that are a part of your purpose doesn't make THE purpose or your purpose. So often we look too often upon what we are doing... yet,,, it's not always what we are doing... it's who we are developing to be.......

Okay, so the people I look up to.. in life.. they aren't people who are like amazing dazzling people.. because honestly that just encompasses so little..

The people that I look up to, some are in high positions, some in low.. but regardless.. of it all... it's the words that are spoken to you.. the actions that they have taken toward you.. and the spirit that you are speaking with. So. face. to face. Here we are- speaking in the spirit and the flesh.. yet there's something more that attracts us to people...

There's people who are attracted to people by their looks, their money, their skills, their hobby, their religion, their goodness...

but honestly, there's something that makes people truly worthy... and that's Jesus.

So if you are finding someone, and they are hard to talk to because maybe they aren't all those things.. maybe they need to find Jesus.. because he makes people beautiful, rich in spirit, joyful, helping, kind, purposeful... so. think again.. think some more.. and share the gift that you freely received.
