I am reminding myself of how much time I waste. I do not actually understand sin and my propensity to it. That one can become so obsessed with sin we can become our own prisoners and accusers. Forgetting our very nature, the truth of who we are without Christ Jesus continually loving us reminding us that it is His grace and mercy that we live on. That grace and mercy that allows me to lean and by faith unlock truths that bring life to my mortal body. I was reminded of the goodness that is offered to us in everything, the abundance and gratitude that is placed everywhere for us to enjoy. I am reminded of Your power every time I see the Moon faithfully in the sky that has covered me my entire life. The stars and moon journeying over top of me as I live move around on earth. I can appreciate you from everywhere. In a car, on a plane, in nature, from my little or large window. Chasing me down.
So, when the opportunity arises to think of anything or someone, I am given a divine opportunity to multiply something special. Hopefully something Kingdom that serves a higher purpose, that leaves a seed or a memory of something that impacted someone in a way that brings My Heavenly Father glory. That I was blessed with the opportunity to breathe life on something or someone. That me being attracted or feeling a gravitation towards another human being (that sometimes is unexplainable) is an opportunity for me to exercise my faith. I have a chance to plant, water, prune, bless, love, bring peace, or honor another.
That I was given a moment of an unknown x amount of time to cultivate something meaningful. This first tells me something about my creator, myself and someone else. Exposing an area of my heart. So, what do I do? What I do is important. Do I allow this tremendous experience to cause me to lose myself? In a way that does not support or point to the principles and values I uphold. I am going to have now go into recovery after all the good progress I have made. Does mere attraction to something allow me to lose my way and darken my heart? Or does it flourish me into the highest version of myself profoundly. That I can leave or stay in a situation with trust, love, and integrity. And I know both our lives have been greatly enriched by doing what my Heavenly Father taught me too.
That even for a season or a chapter whatever this is or was if not forever was to create and flourish.
My prayer is that this becomes truer for the entire human race. That when we are attracted to someone, we can respect for what it is or may be. That our hearts are set on leaving others in better flourishing shape rather than to destroy. May we love people with that in mind that seeds multiple and we do not fall for the lies of our adversary. That we remember it is not a sin in itself to be attracted to someone, it is what we do with that attraction that begins to define. It is a reflection of who we are and what we are working on. Everyone is fighting a battle, and may we keep in mind that hearts are meant to be healed loved whole, blessed and free. To attraction I am not afraid of you I know you are not a sin, but I recognize that I need to understand you for what you are. To flourishing kingdom visions.
Jesus Christ Forevermore
