"To Live"

Here we are because of Him who gave us life. We open our little eyes to let in the first breaking of light from the world, so that we may see. We simply trust, love, obey, believe, and so much more without question or worry. We grow and learn such things as hate, deceipt, pride, and so much more always questioning or worrying. Our world enlarges as we have gone from crawling, to walking, to riding a bicycle, to driving a car, all the way to flying on an airplane. Yet, mentally our world has become smaller as we have gone from believing, from trusting, from imagining to only accepting what is proven, to only believing what is seen, and only trusting what is already known. Have we truly grown or have we become a product of this place we now live?
But, to unlearn all the breaking wisdom that has caused us to falter in so many ways. If only to lay down what people call life that we may truly live. To live for all that cannot be seen with these two eyes, or held in these two hands, or understood with such limited senses that we have been given. We do have something though that can show the way. It is the human mind, an open heart, and a spirit who seeks to find. A humble man with proper sight cannot ignore that mankind has no control over any given circumstance. No control over the power that holds the nucleus of an atom together, no control over the power that keeps every single body in the universe in its proper motion. We may even understand a great many things, but we still cannot answer why or how or when or who without knowing deep within we are lying to ourselves.
Can man create life from nothing? Can man move the moon? Can man predict exactly when and where the next hurricane will originate and end, before its time? Can man do a single thing without what has already been placed here on earth for him/her? Man is able to bow a head or lower to his/her knees. To say thank you, ask for help , or admit he/she can't do this on their own. We can make the choice to believe, to trust, to hope, to love, to forgive, and to see goodness in this imperfect world. This is my prayer for every person who lives now or ever will live. Close your eyes and you will begin to really see all that is Truth. Open your heart knowing it will be filled with the Holy Spirit, which searches far and wide for any who seek Light to see. No one will need to teach you a single work or way for it will be revealed to you. You will hear people speak and hear a loud "YES" or "NO" deep inside. The same voice that is will point you to Him who has saved, is saving, and will save whoever lays down to take His hand. You will begin to live for all that can never be seen without any conscience effort. People will tell you that you are different for some reason.
It is because you will begin to live for all that has not yet come, which is the Good News of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ who places us in complete union with our true Father. For what man can Redeem your soul, or what set of rules are able to cleanse you from sin, or what ritual makes you a child of the living God? Only God and He already has by giving the life of His very own Son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting Life. May you be given peace, comfort, and the Love of God who patiently waits for you to come Home.
