cast off the works of darkness

We all live a darkness created in our own minds. We suffer through the fog of our lives, praying for better days praying to be free of the burdens of life. Oh, how small we feel! So, we turn from these irritating thoughts to indulge ourselves back into our lives of technology. We return to the comfort of our lives, for our cellphones are our uncomfortable realities of what we consider places of ease and family.

What can we do without me seeing what our friends and families are accomplishing. We find pleasure in the Hades of our social life. We return to society’s stricture of acceptance; we are trapped by technology. We are suffering! Darkness has encompassed our lives.

We have tripped and fallen; with our tacit approval, our thoughts and lives are sequestered in obscurity. We must turn around and revisit what our lives truly mean.

God, search me, You know my heart. You know my every thought. Let me share Your words that enter my mind. Let them spread across the earth. It’s a little bit more Love that I feel when I too opened my heart through my desire. From You my thoughts go outward. I become a missionary, a missionary of your love, of your kindness, of your healing.

You are always with us. We are always with you. Oh, those who have joined you in eternity are still with us, and always will be with us. We and they will live through eternity. Assuring that all people feel the Love that You promise. Dear Lord. Bless me and help me to spread Your Love,. . .

. . . which will cast off the works of darkness in this world.
