Deep thought for the day- Dust

 

In the Scriptures it talks about how we are the dust of the earth, what does this mean? from me pondering about  many things today…… this is what I take out of it.

All my life I have always tried to do it my way, or by following some example of somebody and it was always the worldview,  always what I saw in others, and they looked so happy and they were having so much fun

I thought they were happy and so I followed them, and I realize now that because, I always tried to do it on my own, and follow others who were just wandering around also …I was always going to remain in the dirt.

I was never going to become what I could become,

And the reason I was never able to become my greatest potential is because……. 

 I didn’t make me……..

I didn’t give life to me……..

 I didn’t give my parents to me……..

I didn’t do anything, other than just appear one day

having a consciousness of my own

So basically, if we look at the scriptures, 

God had all the dust of the Earth, and He.said 

“ out of that dust, I’m going to make one of my children, and if they follow me,

 I can make them into amazing, amazing creatures, but I’m not just going to give it to them,

 I want them to understand how precious they are

 Of how much they love themselves

I want them 

to see the difference of each life

of both Positive and Negative

Both Good and Evil

so that they can understand for themselves what makes them happy and what doesn’t, 

 if I GOD were to just give them some thing

 no matter what it was

 most likely

 they would care for it for a little while

 but they will tend to forget about it

And they just leave it in the background

    

but if they work for some thing

if they truly want something like happiness

or 

if they are seeking sorrow,  

whatever is true to their heart

 they are going to seek out that thing

 and when they come to the realization 

of where they are at

where they have allowed themselves to be

this is when they will see

 that they are nothing without me, God.”

God says “I created all things from the depths of the earth.  

I created…

the trees…

the rocks…

the mountains…

the sand…

the sky…

the ocean…

the light…

the dark…

and I created you…

I have so much potential for you

that you can gain

that you can learn

that you can grow towards…

 But until you realize that you are on your own

just searching for something…….”

What are you searching for?

everybody has a desire, in their heart 

of something…….

 something you’re searching for…….

if you remain on your own

you will always remain dust of the Earth…….

But

Think about all the glorious things on the Earth, 

when we truly get to know them, 

and we truly understand why God created them, 

why we are on the Earth, 

why He’s given us these amazing things

 that we all love to see and look at

Soon as we look at each individual thing

each amazing creation 

and look at it and understand it 

and see how amazing it is.  

That He GOD made from dust…

God took dust and created everything from nothing…

If you feel like you are nothing…….

 if you feel like you are empty…….

I promise you with all my heart

God will turn you into something !!!

He loves you !!!

He wants so much to share His gift with you !!!

 of love……

of comfort……

of joy…….

of eternal happiness……

BUT…..He doesn’t just want to give it to you,

 He wants you to make the decision, 

what you want in your life…..

And then He allows you to do that…..

God, doesn’t say follow Me or this is gonna happen, and then punish you.

No,  He is giving you free agency to follow after Whatever you want.

 Do whatever you want., 

you are here in your body with your mind,

 doing whatever you want to do every day.

 You might say that you did that because somebody else did that because somebody else did that.. and yeah that’s true.  

 But you made the choice to step forward and do it…….

 you put your foot forward or your hand Forward or your mind Forward 

and took action…..

 those who you were or are blaming your actions on……

they didn’t come into your mind and say…….hey little brain do this!!!!!!  

  No….you made the decision to act.

I believe that this world is all about decisions we make, and who we want to be

I lived a life of darkness,of sadness and sorrow, 

I have more pain than I can describe, 

and the reason I turned out this way, 

wasn’t because of anybody else’s decisions…

  It was all for the ones that I made,

 that I walked towards…

 All I have to say is ………..WAKE UP……

What kind of life do you want?

I wish I could talk to more people. 

Tell them what I learned.

 What I’ve seen, 

where I’ve been, 

and I’m welcome to talk.

Talk to me. 

I am open to everything that I’ve learned.

 I don’t want money

I don’t want fame

I don’t want riches…… I don’t want it.  

I just want to help people find the happiness that they want,  

and if they want to chase after whatever it is…

 I want to support them…….

 but I will not support negativity

 I will not support anger

I will NOT support anything that is against 

MY AND OUR SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST !!!

If you can talk to me in a positive

 loving open Way

without any hate

 negativity

or anything like that……

I am willing to talk…….

I want to share……

 I want to hear your story, 

and if I can build you up in someway awesome……

but if I am only there to listen and comfort you, 

that is awesome too…….

I have always loved helping people, 

and I know this is who I am! 

I AM SICK OF HIDING 

who I truly am……. so I can fit in with everybody else…….

That is not me anymore… I am chasing what I love to do…

Today I had an  awesome experience, I went and did my daily work out 7 AM till 10 AM, and I talked to some amazing people today, and I waited for some other people today, they were not able to make it, but I will go back, and I will offer as many times as I can to let them know, that I care about them, and I want their life to improve-whether I’m there or not,, 

 I just want their life to improve.

As I was leaving, there was a marathon going on a main road, and I was not able to turn down the direction that I usually go and take the usual path to where I go to write my poetry, on the temple grounds. so I went down a different road and I thought OK. What do I want to do or what does God want me to do? And so I just drove straight and I drove to a 7-Eleven-gas station got gas, even though I didn’t need it. 

I noticed that I was next to a great friends house who I have known 30+ years  that I haven’t seen in a week or so, so I started to drive up towards his house, and I looked over as I was driving and I saw a face that I recognized but I couldn’t remember the name and it just ate at me, so I turned around and went back and I said I’m sorry, but your face is so familiar…..I know, I know you and he’s said”oh what’s your name?  I introduced myself,  and we started to talk, and we found out that we bowl together, or we used to.

And we got reacquainted, and then we started to talk about other things, and as I was getting ready to leave,  

he said “hey do you want some ice cream?  

Who turns down ice cream…..

I said absolutely. 

He said “ take whatever you want. I have a lot”.  

So I walked over to the freezer and it was full of ice cream., and I said, why do you have all this ice cream?  

he said I like to hand out to the neighbors and friends and help. 

 So my dear brother, goes around to his neighbors and blesses people, by doing good deeds, and helping them feel better in their day, whether they’re struggling or not.

He is an amazing example to me. 

He is my hero.

So with the ice cream that he gave me and he gave me a lot, 

I decided that I didn’t want any of it, 

so as I was driving home, 

I looked for people as they were out in the yard working, 

showing a good example,

 I also saw a young woman who looked like she was crying on her steps,

 I saw an elderly lady working hard in her garden. She didn’t want help, but she did take the ice cream., 

I handed out 8 pints of ice cream and 18 Twix ice cream bars, individually, wrapped, and it felt wonderful,

 and as I was serving God, a dirty little voice kept saying save something for yourself, save some thing for yourself. 

And I am so glad I did not.

Just looking at the joy of my family while I was driving around handing out ice cream and saying I hope you have an amazing day. 

Thank you for being a great example or it looks like you’re having a rough day, I just wanted to let you know that you matter.

I am so grateful for all the people, all my family,

 that I was able to talk to today, and I hope they can find the true eternal happiness, that they are searching for. 

I have faith that there was a seed of hope placed within their hearts today,

 that they saw a brighter light of what they can be,

 and the happiness that they can feel and find…..
