So... What do we do now?

       I haven't had a blog in a quite some time. I guess I got away from it, not because I had nothing to say but just because I wasn't sure if anyone heard me. There's a difference between reading something and reading something and it becoming a part of you. As alive as you and I are right now! Of course, It makes me think Of some of the words Jesus spoke. "He who has ears, let him hear." Matthew 11:15
    
 Have you even let something you read or heard change you? For the better? For worse?
We do it to ourselves every single day. We seem to hypnotize ourselves with positive thoughts or negative ones. When you go through your day, do you notice the people who are having a bad day? And then think, gosh, I'm glad I'm not him or her... Or the people who are having a good day. Their day is going so good, when you're having a bad day that you just want them to shut up or go away right? C'mon now, be honest here... We're human and that's where grace comes in and thank God for that! Love... Love is the answer to all that ails you.
"Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be JOYFUL in hope, Patient in affliction, Faithful in prayer. Share with God's people who are in need. Practice hospitality." Romans 12:9-13 


I read a lot, many different books. Mostly Christian literature... There is no other better cure for a bad day than reading the bible.
There was one day that I was having a bad day! My back ached, it was cold outside, I had a raging headache... I was just kind of feeling unlovable. I didn't want to be around me, I was crabby! I sat and read for 2 hours, through the prophets and through some of my favorites.
I landed on Psalm 139.
"Oh Lord, you have searched me and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise, you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O Lord." Psalm 139:1-4


       After reading all of Psalm 139 again a few times over, I realized that He loves me anyway! No matter how crummy I might feel. Or how hurt or scared or ugly I feel today. He is my rock, He is my sunshine, my strength and my shelter! Psalm 139 was something I have read many times, but each time, still, it changes me. But the trick is, you have to let it. Just like they say- Let go and let God. It's true. Let Him change you. Your heart. Your perceptions of this world and the people around you. Be healed! Let the healing waters contained in the Bible wash over you. Let Jesus be your savior! What do you have to lose? You have all the more to gain. Growth and wisdom. A new heart. A life after this place. And some one to weather life's storms with you- Jesus!
