Painting God's beauty in our minds!

Our world is a dark place in many ways. Many of us are so blessed that sometimes we don't see the blessings or we take them for granted. A lot of times I don't see the darkness others are going through. I feel blinded to others pain or it's because it's hidden that we don't see it.

As I live life daily I know something else is going on around us, darkness that I know is there. Things like child abuse, children starving, people who are sick and dying, and things people are doing wrong we don't even want to think about.

I read in a book one time about a prostitute who was renting out her 2 year old daughter to other men so she could support her drug habit. I was appalled at such a sickening thing to do to a child. I thought about what I would do to the men who were having sexual relations with this two year old girl. My heart melted when I thought of such evil. My first and only thought would be to beat these men until till their last breath. In God's eyes I would be just as bad as they are.

I believe I sometimes keep myself away from thinking about the pain others are going through. I wash the canvas in my mind and paint it with the beauty of God. I think life should always be perfect. My life has had its share of ups and downs but I always try to find the best things in life to think about and ignore the sadness of others. I am a person who shuns away from sadness and try to find goodness to hinder the bad things in life. That is not what God is wanting me to paint in my mind.

Helping the weak is a victorious painting in God's mind. Devouring evil before it happens to others by teaching others about Jesus is another victory painting. Finding out about what others are going through and standing by their side until the storms in life passes is another masterpiece of God.

While life is grand for us it might be awful for others. Tonight I want to ask God to make me a servant to help others out. To get them through life's problems and help them start to paint their own version of the beauty of God in their own mind. What will heaven be like when we all get there? Will our mental paintings of His beauty be hanging for all to see? Will he call them his masterpieces? I hope so.

Finding The True Gems in life!

Human behavior is a funny thing. Every human being is different in looks, opinion, and behavior. Yet, we always have to fit in or be like everybody else. I love people who don't want to go the same route as everybody else. Because that's who I am.

I'm not ever going to try and imitate another person. I like being like that, I like being different. Some though go a little to far in trying to show others that they are a person who is different than others. Trying to dress or wear your hair different means you're trying to stand out in the crowd. You're a show off in my book. That's not the kind of people I admire.

I love learning about people who are not mainstream beings. These are the people who swim at the other end of the pond instead of where everyone else is. They love life, they explore it. They find peace in God in other ways.

They don't find their God in politics, they see their Creator in all things great and small. Nature is a quality where they see God. They like to work with their minds and hands on certain things. They're creative people yet they have this humble and friendly demeanor that I love about them.

They don't fear what others might say about them. They let things roll off their back. They have better things to do in their lives than worry about the drama of the world. Life is too short for them, they have things to accomplish.

Have you ever met anyone like this? If you have you have been blessed. They are a rare gem in life. I have a found a few people like this. When I am around a person like this I feel God has led me to them. I don't want to be like them I just want to spend time with them. They bring peace to my life.

Our world is just a crazy mess now and has been since the fall of man. Once Satan invaded this planet it's just gone mad. My example of our world and when Satan entered it is like placing a deer in a small building full of wine glasses. The deer will break every glass while going crazy to find his way out. It will tear apart everything and destroy it. Satan has done the same thing to all of us. But I believe there are certain people God has placed here to help us calm the storms in our lives. Those are the people I mentioned above. The calm, cool and collected. In biblical terms they're humble, meek and God inspired people. Gems in life we should be looking for every day in life!
