Dear God: You Are Our Balance and Purpose~

All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.” – John 1:3
   Jesus Christ is constant and never ending…he surrounds us entirely with His love and His Spirit.  He finds ways to reach out to us when we are receptive of Him and His love.
 
   Jesus keeps us in perfect balance when we live by His word and do His bidding.  He is our constant flow of balance…he keeps all of “our ducks in a row.”  He supports our finding our way and being the source of strength to do so.  He is our enabler of all good things.  He is our conveyor and belt of life. 
 
 
 He is our purpose and our significance of all that matters.  Tests, trials, tribulations…He is there.  When we believe, He makes it so much easier to bounce back and push forward from the “ruins” of life.  Life can get messy, with jarring moments that turn us upside down, and tear us inside and out. But, with the Lord at our side…holding and directing us to tranquil waters, it is there we drink and are able to withstand the heat of any situation.
 
As we are all familiar with – God will not give you more than you can handle, and if He brings you to it He will bring you through it…all true.  And, most important God will ALWAYS show you a way out of any qualifying disturbance, emotional, physical or otherwise.
 
He is listening.  He is watching, and He is knowing what we need.  He knows what we need before we ask for it…or before we even realize what it is we need.  His tender hands offering us grace and mercy, and comfort.  His all consuming love full blown and significantly present in all we do.
 
The muddy and murky waters bring flowers of beauty…A mud flower is exquisite and yet its growth pattern needs mud in which to thrive. The light of God brings their beauty into play Every now and then we are as mud flowers as we go through murky times…We may feel as if we are sinking in a quagmire, but eventually we will find a way out with God’s help.  And, we will thrive in His care…like the beautiful flower that thrives in mud due to God’s care.  It still grows and it still inspires its watchers.  We in turn grow as we go through our personal trials and tribulations…and we can inspire others by example through Jesus Christ thereby giving Him all the glory.
 
God will always be there…Feel His presence, embrace your Christianity and most important feel His love.  What an amazing and beautiful sensation…For He is in us and we are of Him. The treasure of whom He is lies within us… It doesn’t get any better than that.
