~ (~) ~ Tides Revel In Their Rise ~ (~) ~ (Part #1 of 3) ~ (~) ~!
Or owning the beauty of an unconditional unity with God, abiding in peace with one another,
the world around us,one that existing through His goodness, I believe now is already and in
always, through Him, abounding within, and consistently surrounding all of us ... ?
I mean if you would, look around, and within yourself ... .
Because I have found whether rising up or drifting outward... like myself I often do, we are all
like the tides, each in the end running towards or away from God, everywhere we are, in
some way at some given time, given whatever the matter, or eventuality.
And as I feel it is as it should be ... .
I will to know God, and to live a righteous life, and so God willing, with this attitude in action...
hoping to never again be apart from Him, I believe I'll be taken again back home to Him... .
Even whether I am of the understanding of this or not.
So given these facts, I know now, what my choice is to be.
It is so clear to me... .
Like the tides... through Him I must be Honest... with myself, pen to Him... and Willing to ask,
yes allow myself room for His forgiveness, and wash my hands of any and all past present
and future frailties, then continue to revel with Him, as He brings my spirit within my body, to
rise.
Until the day given His faithfulness ... love and mercy my body quite simply, cannot ... .
Not unless given the inevitable beauty, the nature of His Sovereignty, He chooses one day to
lift it Himself.
Because I know too ... "as I desire to live and love, have faith and to be loved, embrace His
mercy ... fully, my desire, is the simple aspiration of Gods' same longing for this" ... .
And having been awakened this morning again ... .
Truly, though I may try, as the Sun rises and sets, upon the day, God's love and faithfulness,
mercy ... in all of its honor and beauty - asking me to rise myself and revel with Him and you
in this glorious opportunity.
Having been made aware of this, the perfect beauty of His grace, this today I cannot, no I will
not myself ... with all that is within me,
deny Him ...
again... .
