ARE YOU CONTENDED?
OR Waiting to Receive Happiness, Wanting to Be Loved….!
People (this includes YOU & ME) aren't happy. Are you
seeking COMPLETE HAPPINESS? We find ourselves waiting. Waiting for that
something to come along that is going to make us happy. For some, it's seems to
be more money, more fame, more social circles, more politics…. With more money
one can buy all those things one wants. Most of us see the error in that.
We see an appetite that will never be satisfied. We want, instead, that which money will not buy. We want
that special something. Sometimes we are waiting for that person that is going
to make life worth living, it does not matter the relationship between those
two persons. Could be father & daughter, mother & son, husband and
wife, friends at the end of it all you want to feel COMFORTABLE….that someone
whom you can talk to. The only problem is that, for some reason, that something
& someone seems nearly impossible to find. If you do find…then the question
lies, how can you get to know….or is it another WINDOW DISPLAY STUFF….
Is it that our standards are too high? Is it that we were born a century too early or too late? Is it that the World has become such a broken mess that no one could possibly find something whole and unbroken in it anymore?
Let’s be truthful with ourselves. We exactly know what we want. We just behave NAÏVE. You want companionship. In an otherwise city of millions, you want not to be lonely. In a life of smiling faces, you want not to be wearing the same as a MASK to keep that miserable feeling of loneliness from public display.
We know deep down that such a thing as the perfect person doesn't exist. Why then do we still WANT it so bad? To cure us of that miserable lonely feeling in our gut. In moments of self-honesty we see that such a dream is fantasy and it makes us wonder what the purpose of living could possibly be. IF WE CAN’T HAVE LOVE, WHY LIVE?
I submit there are two problems that are capital in this dire
situation. INNER HAPPINESS & LOVE…..I feel extremely happy in giving, that’s
where the inner Happiness’ in me wakes up. But BEWARE, Satan comes to STEAL……yes
he does, he wants to take away the little that you have acquired, BUT the
question lies are you ready to LET HIM TAKE THAT AWAY FROM YOU?
I would like to walk with you quoting the WORD of GOD that
can bring about a CHANGE….!
Psalms 1:1:
Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth
in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
[2] But
his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and
night. [3] And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that
bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and
whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. [4] The ungodly are not so: but are like the
chaff which the wind driveth away. [5] Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in
the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. [6] For the
LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
Ec:3[12]
I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good
in his life. [13] And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the
good of all his labour, it is the gift of God.
Psalms:34:8:
O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.
The first is to understand the Law of Change.
Understand that things change. People change. Mitigating circumstances ALWAYS
dictate realities. Many people will uproot their lives to pursue that special
relationship with someone they may well have never imagined themselves being
with. Love can change people quite profoundly. It can alter their taste in
music, movies, social environments, foods, locales, and all sorts of Life's
various facets.
Divine Universe - that has given me life, guess
has given you the same? The CHURCH is the best place where I find HAPPINESS AS
WELL AS LOVE. There lies a song that lifts you up. A song that makes you feel
good about yourself. A song that makes you truly happy. A happiness that shines
like the Sun. Because it is your RELATIONSHIP with the ALMIGHTY GOD. The
ability to look at yourself and say, "Love has changed me and given unto
me the ability to say with truth: I like myself."
As a Human, you have the power to give and receive love. That is the one true power of your existence to command with impunity. The most powerful force in the Universe is that of Directed Will and above that there is greater FORCE of Directed Will of Unconditional Love. THAT FORCE IS JESUS. Let the FIRE within you THEN JUST BURN FOR THAT FORCE…….
As so it is with me, so may you well find yourself, back at square one. Alone and searching for one with the proper ears. One that can hear Love's beautiful song. One that wants to join in the chorus. And of course you will again find yourself longing. Wanting to HAVE somebody. Wanting to HAVE love. The BIBLE says…IF YOU HAVE EARS TO HEAR….HEAR WHAT THE SPIRIT IS SAYING TO YOUR HEART…….
So the question emerges, if we can't have that special someone, how can we have one? Or rather, how can we be in existence with that someone? It's hard to start thinking outside of a possession based viewpoint and properly word it. That is why a SPIRITUAL change in our view of the world - it is required for us to take the time to reflect and contemplate on this new paradigm shift. It does not happen just by reading an article or my post. An article can show you the path, but of course it is up to you to take up the task of treading upon it.
Are not relationships unlike plants? Have you not to cultivate them? Certainly one can not just expect to get a beautiful and healthy plant just buy throwing any seed in any kind of soil and giving it little care. Sure, that much may seem obvious. But if it's so obvious, then why do people continually take such attitude with relationships? Myself not completely excluded, no doubt.
So in conclusion, NO ONE GETS A FREE RIDE. There
is always a PRICE & Task at Hand. Just like you have to do the work to earn
a paycheck, so must you do the work in Life's trials and tribulations? The
answer to Life's problems is not something that is going to pop up for SALE ON
EBay. Therefore, it is to be said, that self-realization will always carry in
tow the paramount prerequisite of self-reflection.
