Never the Same
My friend, please allow me to risk the trust I’ve gleaned thus far from our brief moments together by reminding you of one simple truth. In fact, for me, it would be a sin if I did not present this truth in this manner. Your path is unwinding . . . you’ve turned a spiritual corner so please keep your heart open to read the most important thing I could ever tell you, either in person or in written form.
Our search for meaning and awakening
People desire an awakening, they search for meaning and purpose. Rich or poor, young or old, man or woman, it matters not, all of us are either spiritually awake or so self-involved we might as well be asleep.
Early I shared with you in the article Bedtime Stories about The Astonishing Layers of Good . . . well, everything that is good is of God.
You see, the virtue we experience in our hearts every time we reach out to help beyond ourselves is an actual moment with our creator.
It is God who brings the peace and the vision to do awesome works of good whether we acknowledge it or not.
Perhaps you feel nothing . . . your life may have been once whole, full of joy and happiness but is now broken. There is a belief inside of you that constantly claiming that your best days are behind you. Let me encourage you to begin again.
“You wouldn’t be here today if God didn’t have something else for you to accomplish. He wouldn’t have given you the breath to breathe this morning if He didn’t have another victory in front of you. You have an assignment . . . somebody to impact. You have a new mountain to climb . . . you are a person of destiny. You are not here to just take up space but rather to make a difference. To live an abundant, rewarding, and fulfilled life.”
