REAL LIFE
begins the moment you let out your first cry
beginning your
REAL STORY
that changes from day to day
from sunrise to sunset
from year to year.
Oh how some things you wish would never change~
yet they do
Oh how some things your wish would change~
yet they do not.
But it is "your" REAL LIFE & your REAL STORY,
so you pick up the pen & start writing
what will happen next~
because shouldn't things go as you want them
because isn't it "your"
REAL LIFE & your REAL STORY?
You are caught on a hamster wheel that keeps spinning
yet going nowhere
as nothing is changing in the way you have written it to be
yet it is ~
yet not as you planned.
You drop the pen
because that has been the problem the whole time
because you realize that you are not a writer.
And at that moment the lightbulb goes off
as it is so very bright
because
there has been SOMEONE there the whole time
allowing you to strive to write the
"what will happens"
and
"the what will not happens"~
yet you never are getting it right.
But
HE smiles
because you handed
HIM the pen
&
your whole manuscript
with your
PAST
PRESENT
&
FUTURE~
and then your life
becomes
REALLY REAL
as
things start to change
even though
some things don't change,
yet it doesn't really matter
because you are the one who is changing~
from day to day
from sunrise to sunset
from year to year
as life becomes better than
REAL
in the hands of a
REAL GOD
who began your
REAL LIFE
the moment HE created you.
Yet HE isn't your ghost writer
hiding behind the scenes
as HE partners with you
from page to page
never leaving you alone
because you weren't created to be alone
to do life on your own
in the first place.
Oh how it all makes sense
"All believers, come here and listen, let me tell you what GOD did for me.
I called out to HIM with my mouth, my tongue shaped the sounds of music.
If I had been cozy with evil, the LORD would never have listened.
But HE most surely did listen, HE came on the double when HE heard my prayer.
Blessed be GOD: HE didn’t turn a deaf ear,
HE stayed with me, loyal in HIS love" (Psalm 66:16-20 MSG)
Just because it was never my story to write myself,
yet HE let me do it anyway
but HE was still there
waiting for me & waiting for you
as HE will never
leave us where we are
because HE has so much more for
me & you & everyone else
because HE was always there
and will always be there~
"THERE WAS JESUS" (listen to the song below)
