At Peace in Our Present

You move mountains, You cause walls to fall. You are amazing just in who You are. You keep things and people together, moving seamlessly and effortlessly. We are able to not be concerned because You are there, You are with us. When we think we are falling You show us that You have us caught up in your wings, protecting us. Even when we need protection from ourselves. There is no one like You.

Yes, we can turn our lives upside down with a quick and thoughtless decision. We have so many obstacles, such is life, and we sometimes add to our dilemma with the people we engage, the things we take part in, and even the things we eat. Basically, we can do bad all by ourselves…we need no help in being jacked up.

But our life is set on a time schedule. We may not know its end but we know we do expire. We need not be concerned or worried about the end, but do all that we can in our present. We are on a perfectly timed timeline that has a glorious expected end. We don’t need to accelerate it but enjoy each moment, giving You thanks for each step and second.

Why should we make life harder than it needs to be. We should enjoy it. Ignore the haters and the distractions. We have to be better than our surroundings. We can be what we want to see in the Earth. We cannot withhold our hand and expect to get something back in return we did not put in. We get what we give. Its not in quantity but in quality, it’s from the heart. We should always strive to do and be the best version of ourselves.

We can and will rise above the mess.
