The Ripple Effect: A Fabric of Existence

Control is an illusion. You can cause a decision to become true, but you cannot control it's outcome. You do not have ultimate control over life or death. While you can create life and bring it into the world, you cannot control the core direction that new life will take internally, spiritually. You can control it's environment, weigh heavy influence on it's comprehension of self and others, but you cannot control it's spirit. You may have control over the death of that new life and can decide when the body of that new life ceases to exist. But you cannot control where the soul goes after it leaves that body. Whatever is going to happen before life and after life, is not, essentially, in your control. 

You can become victim to the "idea of fear" and completely lose yourself as well as the sight of the circumstance. Believe me when I tell you that the power in you is stronger than the power that surrounds you. Do not be afraid. You will not suffer shame. Do not fear disgrace. You will not be humiliated. You will shed the pain of past injustice and grow in the strength of peace and truth. You will prevail.  No one who is bound in the Eternal Light of Life shall suffer from the temporary darkness of this earth and this time. You are the passenger of a greater power unknown to those who wish you harm. And the Captain of the ship will not allow any harm to come of you in the end times. Wickedness and hateful things are evil in the eyes of the All Powerful and all that wish to exude it will be swiftly brought to justice; in the blink of an eye. The vengeance is so great in dispair, that your eyes will be spared its sight; fore no man or woman or child shall be witness to such monstrosity and still claim to be internally and forever grateful and at peace. 

Psalm of David.

1 The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, 3 he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. 5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. 6 Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
This is what true caring feels like. Knowledge is only as good as it's application. Bring the peace within you out and share it with others. Love is contagious. It will spread, but not without opposition. Do not be in a hurry to live out your life. After all, you only get one. Take time to reflect and if you are now in a place of peace, take a few moments to truly embrace it. Take a deep breath and feel the warmth of a subtle smile begin to push your lips. You are grateful. Be glad in it. If you are still on your journey to rid yourself of whatever illness, despair or pain you may be going through right now, know this. You are not alone. You will be removed from your pain soon and very soon. Smile in confidence, knowing that whatever trial you may be encountering is temporary, and it too will surely pass. And once it does, you can sing out with happiness and look back with accomplishment. You made it through the low valleys of your life and only the mountaintop awaits.
