Going vertical

Many a day the sands of time seem slowly to move, their downward drift apparently frozen. Frozen, as though stilled by a larger will. Looked for answers come belatedly, at least to our earthbound, horizontal sight. Real freedom comes when we go vertical. Upward we gaze, into the eyes of the I Am. His answers often come in three shapes, "Yes", "No", and "Wait". Never can man say that He doesn't answer. For always He does, only we miss it at times. Because we look for our version, what we want to hear. Receptive ears to the will and words of God come once we rest our gaze upon the heavenward. So let us go vertical and rejoice in what we hear, for what comes from above causes speech to fail and hearts to sing with joy.

Interesting thing you wrote. GOD answers in such simple ways yet we go and try to make things complicated in our life. When in fact the simple answers are all we need. Remember we have to grow our faith. If we are still children it is because we choose to grow in small steps. When we should in fact take giant steps as those great Men and Women of Faith have done before us. Remember giant steps are the hardest yet the rewards are just as great.


P.S. my sister Ill talk to you later when I get back from overseas you keep the Faith GOD Bless

Your entry reminded me of the verse: "Be mindful of things above, not on things on the earth." Thankyou.
