Be Loved

Is this life but a dream? Is it a shadow of manifestations yet to come?
The more I reach for You God, the more real my innermost 
dreams become.
Each sweet piece of life's fruit becomes more delicious.
Walking through my desired bed of roses, each thorn that pricks 
me drains the sickening poison out... a poison that was injected 
into me by an unbelieving society... many of Your children included.

If they knew the truth of my life in You, ups and downs included... 
they would not be so sad or spit out their venom.  They would know 
that each pain of their broken hearts and minds are in the divine 
hands of God.  God often allows Satan to interfere, but only for
a moment.  To do this in order to strengthen us in the weaker 
areas of our lives!
Perhaps like a mama lion teaches her cubs to hunt by playing 
with their food before  killing it? During those lessons the cubs 
become skilled and very strong... later only fools
would dare mess with them.

Chosen reality? Imagined reality? The way we choose to look 
at things? The way we dream of how things ought to be?

My reality is how I choose to look at it. I reach, I seek, I find and 
shall find God's love and will for my life... Which is and what will be 
something far greater, more beautiful than what dreams are made of.

"Beloved," He says, "I wish above ALL things that you should prosper 
and be in health, even as your soul prospers."

So be it! Remember this - reach, seek ALL those truly blessed 
things of life in Christ.
