Internal stillness remains and change continues externally. I remain firmly planted as life is constantly moving. Why are we so aggravated and upset by change?? Is it really about the one who changes it?? Thank you Lord for the gift of sight this morning as I understand the truth. It is about the one who is aggravated, the one who chooses not to accept change as it comes. We are not to be conformed to this world but are to remain in the truth at all times. How do we go through life calmly as it continuously changes???
What is happening around us is not happening IN us and it is not being done TO us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Matter a fact it is not even ABOUT us. Whew~ it is exactly what it is... change. Seasons change, our bodies change, our thoughts change, our children change, our vision changes.Yet, WE(the Christ within us) when firmly planted remain the same.
Once we allow Christ to truly live within us he consumes who we are and we become ONE. We begin to think like Him, love like Him, suffer like Him and Be like Him. When we wake up to the truth, accept life as it truly is, happiness suddenly comes forward. We begin to love all with unconditional love.
We begin to accept things as they truly are instead of believing they should be another way. We realize that the things we struggle with have come from the teachers of the world. Have you ever questioned where you learned certain beliefs from? Who comes to mind when you think about the things you struggle with?
Today, ask Christ within what you need to know and watch the truth unfold, the peace return, the confusion leave and happiness arise!!
Oh My! How I see when my eyes are open. How I hear when my mind is open. How I love when my heart is open!!

Wondering about trials, suffering, tribulations of the world. Is this when we are living in the world instead of living in Christ. There is a secret place of protection, it is IN us. It is only available when we seek it and consciously live there. This is the place of no attachment, the place where life is accepted for what it truly is. I will continue to struggle, hurt and suffer as long as I am trying to fulfill life as I see it should be. Not by my will but by YOURS!!!!!!!!!
This is what truly amazes me. I reach for my bible and Proverbs 8 comes to mind. It reads "in praise of wisdom" and ends with those who find me find life!! and the Lord will be pleased with them. Those who do not find me hurt themselves; anyone who hates me love death. Sounds like suffering of the world or happiness in Christ!! I must say this is why I am so in AWE with my Lord and Saviour. How can I not trust a God who is so good to me.
