A Realization…

I don’t even know where to begin.

So many things have taken place over the last couple day that have made me think and consider things that I normally wouldn’t. Nothing illegal or harmful, just things that I’m just now noticing in the lives of the people around me. So much distrust and jealousy. Me, being the person that I usually am, would just keep quiet but why? Why should I be silent when all of the things I’ve mentioned are tearing people apart? I know I probably don’t have the full story on anything but I know enough to gather that things are not good.

But “the night is darkest just before the dawn”, right?

“We may endure for a night but joy comes with the morning”…

“We will never know happiness if it weren’t for unhappiness”…

I believe that change is coming. And the people who know what I’m speaking of  should read carefully. Lay down your assumptions, forget your observations and perceptions and communicate with each other. We will never know any truth unless we talk with one another and consult God at every possible turn.

I came about this realization when just the night before, I was rattled with fear, doubt and worry for the hearts of my friends. Only until I was trembling and near panic did I realize that this was not God-given. God has not given us the spirit of fear but a spirit of love and a sound mind. When was the last time we realized that we were not meant to be fearful? I am absolutely furious that I have gone so long feeling fearful of the future and professing that God is in control when I was not walking in that truth. You should be furious as well. How dare we allow our enemy to have such control over our minds and our emotions? How could we just sit back and worry while Our Heavenly Father is looking down and weeping that we have not come to Him with our troubles.

Go to Him!

I implore you to go to Him! He will give you a peace beyond your understanding. He will ease all of your confusion.

Go to Him and I will walk right next to you . I have come to this realization and am determined to seek God out and retrieve that peace that has already been given to me through the blood of Jesus Christ our Lord.

Striving For His Peace,

Steven T. Sharpe
