In these times of clarity I feel as if Jesus has placed me on the top of a mountain and given me a chance to glimpse a bigger picture. “See what I have done? Now does it make sense? You are but a small component in the kingdom of my father, but I have provided you with fellow crusaders. Those that, though flawed, will run the race with you. You will sharpen each other- when they fall, pick them up as they will do unto you.”
When the Lord gives me these breaths of fresh air, I find that all the excessive details wither away and life seems simpler. After all, this life is but a detour; life truly is a fading vapor. As the self-imposed complications of humanity slide from off my back I am reminded of true purpose. I lift my eyes from vacant goals and fix them on the blinding light of pure ecstasy; eternal rest with my father in heaven. Then as I glance to my left and right, I find my brothers and sisters. They are fixed upon this goal. Meanwhile, the world stumbles amidst us in a darkness that blinds the heart that has not been softened. Thank you God for friends, you know how very dear they are to me. I am greatful to you for providing this commodity amidst a fading vapor.
“Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”
-1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
