To every purpose, there are good reasons and there are true reasons. In writing a blog, for instance. People seem to have a gazillion of reasons why they are doing it, some monetary, others altruistic. As for me, the good reason is that I wanted to help other people, heal them and inspire them to live better lives. On the other hand, maybe the true reason is this: I write it because I wanted to be heard, I wanted to know - that I am not invisible.

It is God who pursues us
who uplifts us
and protects us
and provides for everything we need
It is God who loved us first
who showers us with every good thing
we do not even know
All that is required of us
is the faith to believe
that He is there
that He is our Greatest Lover
the source of all that’s wonderful
there is in our lives
It is our part to be able to receive
such a love
to rejoice
because we have been called
because we have been found
because we learn
that despite the mundaneness of what we see
we are special
we are cherrised
we are in truth
God’s beloved ones.

One can test whether a thing is good or not in this way:
If it causes you to lose interest in life
and thereby wish to cease in existence,
such a thing is not good for you.
If it gives you interest and enthusiasm,
if it ignites in you the desire
to live your life as you have never lived before,
such thing is good.
Be not deceived however,
for there are things
we cling on to
not so much as to live life
but to have a means of escape from it,
to make us forget
how dead we really are within.

There are some things you love
imperfect though as they are;
sometimes you wish you can improve them,
that in one way or another
you can somehow make them perfect;
but then you realize
that even if these things happen,
they will no longer be the same ones
that you have loved;
you realize that you love them more
just being the way they were,
with all their flaws
and weaknesses;
you realize that you love
even these flaws
and one way or another,
such things just blend in
and then you know
what true beauty
really means.

How do you wash your soul clean
at the end of each day?
First, you rest unto the strong arms of Jesus
you gaze upon his kind and shining face
Then you take his gentle hand
and you allow His peace to flood over you
like a soft cool breeze that touches your heart
And you cry your pain away
and you cry your anger away
and you rest your worries and your anxieties
and you believe that things will be okey
and things will be okey
because love will shine thru once more
because your desires will be crystal clear
because you know what really matters
and there is nothing you can do
to take you away
from the One that matters the most to you
