Love Him & you will know Him

I have had this overwhelming sense of …. peace. I thought it was me being tired, I thought it was me depressed, I thought it was empty but I figured it out.

I am happy. I am at spot in my life where I have serenity, and I enjoy it. Usually there are about 500 things going on in my head. Things about people, places, things to do, goals, dreams, future, love, life, singing, music, movies, and nonsense were always fluttering my head making it impossible to rest. I couldn’t get to sleep, I couldn’t wake up one day without a headache and I didn’t always feel good. I may not always feel good enough, and I may not always feel like I have friends, but if it’s one thing I know, it’s that God and my family love me. I am good enough for them, and life is good. Live is GOOD.

Blame it on the weather, blame it on the food, or blame it on someone but really – I want to give God credit. I’ve stopped stressing and worrying, and now its like being free. Like He took off the weights and chains in my life, and now I get to enjoy it. I had an ex-boyfriend tell me once that he was jealous of me. I asked him, “Jealous of what?” – his reply “Your serenity. Being at peace with the world, and being calm and serene in life is a blessing that I wish I had”. …. WOW. I never thought about that. I wonder who else sees it, and why I never saw it. I guess I just lived it for so long, I didn’t notice it. Now I do. Now I dwell in this bubble of my own, where nothing can hurt me and I feel constant love from my family around me even when I don’t feel it from others. I love God, and I think this is hiw way of telling me He loves me back. God gives us all different things, and this is one of my gifts. I asked Him to take away my problems and help me out. When I started to help myself, He gave me the extra shove and He’s been helping me through it. Mom has this screensaver that says, “If God brings you to it, He will lead you through it”. It’s an amazing passage. Also, James 1:2 “My brothers and sisters, have joy in the trials that you may face of any kind” is great. I should be thankful that I am ALIVE to experience the problems I do, GOd gave me the gift of breathing, I should thank him for it.

What do you do to relax? Have you talked with God? What have you done to stay at peace?

Take time today to pray for those who’ve hurt you and, bless those you mistreat you. They are just as much of a lost Child of God as we are.
