God has been healing my heart more and more.
A couple of weeks ago I came to the realization that I am a spirit that God created. My body houses my spirit here on earth. My spirit will go on to Heaven after I die.
Now, in these last few days I have had on my mind the realization that "I am only here briefly."
Again, I knew this as head knowledge. But, now I feel it. It has become real to me.
He has only created me for just a time here on this earth. That statement may be deep for now.
But I know without a doubt there is even one more step deeper. That step will be eventually "feeling His love." I am convinced I am on the outskirts of this experience.
I can see the headline now....
LOVE
JBR,
ReplyDeleteLove that preview....
"Coming Soon to a Heart Near You.
Blessings,
Tammy
My slogan is somewhat similar: "To be or HOW to be"
ReplyDeleteSo Shakespeare made into recovery ;-)
JBR I found that the key to falling in love with God – and staying in love with him and loving humanity as well – its not so much in trying to love but in simply dwelling on God’s love for us. Discovering and clinging to the truth that God is thrilled with us, continually draws us to him and transforms us. Its also the secret to victorious living. No one understands you like your Maker. He alone has been with you every moment from your conception. No one feels your every pain and delights in your happiness like God. No one longs to exalt you and shower you with gifts as much as him. Didn't mean to preach to you. God Bless.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet and sobering thought. God is definitely behind the bigger picture; He is and has always been...and the sooner we realize this (and live our lives with this knowledge) the better.
ReplyDeleteThat love has been there all along you just have to believe it that's the fix. Only way the truth can come in is if the lie is swept out.
ReplyDeleteShe swept her house clean to look for that last coin when she found it all of her friends rejoiced with her.
He was there He always was we got out from under the authority of those who kept us bound.
The enemy pretended to be a god when we were kids.
Well now all that pretense is over and we know and understand who it really was.
I'm blessed by your words today.
ReplyDeleteJBR, I'm happy that you feel this way, you sound 'liberated' ... yes, our time on Earth is a quite short one ... thank you so much for your hugs today :-) you made me smile :-) happy Sunday!
ReplyDeletehi jbr :) thanks for telling me about this post. it's funny, i was just thinking about this the other day as someone mentioned making the most of this time we have on earth. it's sometimes easy to get lost in whatever's going on in our minds that we lose sight of the impermanence of this time we're spending. thanks for this reminder to enjoy what we have while we're here! :)
ReplyDeletesafe hugs~
JBR thanks for sharing this post. It has been on my mind for quite some time.
ReplyDeleteI love this post but realize that His love is available to you even now, even though your heart and mind may be telling you other things, let the Holy Spirit enter in and fill you so full to overflowing with His love and grace.

I think that if we feel like our time on earth is limited then we will spend our days more wisely. Like doing things that make us happy. Life is too short to be miserable, you know?
ReplyDeleteIf only my clinical depression and eating disorder would realize the above as well.
Wishing you well,

By learning to love yourself, the entire world opens up. Good Job JBR
