"Lord, Help Me Stay True To You..."

When The Heart Speaks...You Better Pause & Listen & Seize The Moment!

It's 1:46pm Central Texas. Mind you, it's 71 degrees F. My body is cramming for "work out" in the park but piles of dirty dishes are waiting to be washed. I also wanted to go over boxes of old pictures and compile them where they belong and some of them just need to go. I don't have anymore issue discarding them.

However, my heart at this very moment is so secure in ushering me to write. Before, I couldn't just write when there seems to be so much clutter visible within my peripheral vision. But now I learned how to be more attentive and mindful of my heart's deeper inclination. 

It's funny as well as edgy that I have transformed the beauty of clutter not as a hindrance to fluidity in writing but to owning what your heart is saying amidst things to do. I believe that if I sojourned with what is pulling me away, I would have abandoned writing and have missed what may be called a divine moment. Thanks to my joining the 31-day writing challenge with Jeff Goins. That helped me reckon with my weakness to postponing things-- to holding up to my share of self-discipline & trustworthiness to my craft.

Sometimes the words that I use couldn't make up for the level of gratitude I have for God's grace in my life. There's no significant part of my past that can ever hold me hostage anymore especially those memories that need to be swept by the ocean's turbulent waves. They say that time heals every wound and I don't believe that anymore. That's a faulty quote or premise. Something is missing in it. Time doesn't even eases the pain; it only exacerbates as you go through life. But what it takes for you to be free from any kind of pain & suffering is simply to believe and have faith in God and allow Him to temper your heart with forgiveness and transform your mind to His will for your life. There is no greater prize than knowing that you can rest in His promises that He is with you always.  I am there now--free of guilt, condemnation, and suppositions.I have moved on forward. God be praised.

The message of the cross is the fulfillment of God's redemption for our sins. If we live our life slipping through our dreams of restless nights and unfulfilled days, then Christ's resurrection and the gift of eternal life has not served you & me & humanity. You don't want to waste a moment in your life anymore what you could have experienced, explored, and discovered about following Jesus as your personal Savior & Lord. It is an absolute adventure and a journey of victories and disappointments but the truth remains: He is the One who is the source of love, life & true essence of freedom.

Moments Carry the Momentum of the Past and  Fuel the Momentum for the Future~~Erwin Raphael Mcmanus

This moment is real. How I'm feeling is contingent to some moments in  my life that never run out of favor, a real blessing to my memory with a grateful heart. I wish I could thank people in person who had been instruments for me to experience the exhilaration of a life fully lived. My sincere thanks to those of you who takes the time from your busy schedule to read my blogs regularly. I hope to be more of service to what would commit your will to a meaningful life with Jesus.  I pray that God helps me be true to His absolute truth and not be swayed & tempted & compromised. 

However, for now I can't deliver my gratitude physically, but be expectant that my prayers to those who have gotten me here...wherever I am, there you are,also--in God's grace & covering! Don't let your troubles rob you of the joy of life.

Have A Very Blessed and Happy Sunday.

Thank you for reading and You take care Always.
