Drying the Tears of Mary
Like Micah Tyler sings, "I'm gonna sing it, and I'm gonna shout it!" With all the misery and war and trouble the media seems to keep us abreast about, I feel we need to acknowledge the fact of goodness and good people also. It's not rare you know. There are hundreds of good events and good deeds being done daily. But Fear is what this world wants us to remain in.... I'm not buying it. For every negative thing that happens, there are 5 positives that are occuring. We just have to open our eyes and hearts to see them. Negativity breeds Fear and Positivity breeds Peace. What happens to you when you breathe slowly and calmly? You relax and can let the Spirit in. What happens when you panic or let fear overtake you? You start to breathe fast and can feel your heart beating out of your chest, resulting in rash decisions and unthinking behavior...
Try shouting, "Hallelujah!" sometime or smiling when you say, "Praise the Lord!". The goodness of Thanking God overwhelms your whole being and immediately let's you release the worry and unknowing into the hands of a God who is begging you to let HIM ......
I don't know about you, but I want someone to take care of things. I don't want to always rely on just myself to figure out how to do something that is just too big for me to handle.
God is so good. He's so smart. He knows exactly how to handle the situation without pride or selfishness. We just have to let HIM. Step #1. Step #2 is just be patient and have your eyes and ears open so you can follow His lead.
Shout Hallelujah! to God daily and see what happens. Shout it when you get frustrated or lonely or confused. The situation will be immediately turned around and you will find the Joy and Peace you were so desperately looking for.
Hallelujah!
