Your life is the only one you’re gonna get. And I know that you know it’s not about the skin you’re in. You know it’s the spirit and soul of you. So, I’m preaching to the choir.
But if you’ve lived more than twenty years, I’m sure you’ve thought about your life and what it means. And you’ve realized that somewhere inside you is a tiny voice. Yeah, you’ve learned that you just gotta be still and listen. And that voice will reassure you eternity is real.
And that your life will go on forever in a paradise you can only imagine.
Or that you’ll endure a singularly hopeless existence in a place as far away from paradise as the East is from the West. And that’s in spite of what a so-called “enlightened society” will tell you.
So, that knowledge and wisdom leads to another conclusion. That while you’re in the skin you’re in it’s a good idea to discover as much as you can about truth. Right? Yep, I’ve said it before. Truth is tenable. Maybe even elevenable or twelveable. It seriously matters.
I believe everyone realizes that truth exists. Many squelch that down so far that they’ll deny even the simplest truths just so they can avoid the consequences of that knowledge. Or so they believe. And they’ll say silly things like “question authority.” But when someone tells you to question authority, start with them.
Or when someone tells you truth doesn’t exist, ask them “is that true?”
And when someone tells you the material world is all there is, ask them which material in this world showed them this. You’ve probably used these tactics before. But I just felt as though someone could use a reminder that knowledge and wisdom, that come from God, are the huge advantage in your life.
This Life
Sometimes the silence is too much.
Sometimes I just can’t get my fill.
And then there are times when nothing works right,
But even then I love it still.
This life…holds surprises up its sleeve.
Yes, it really can deceive you if you turn your head.
But this life is the only chance we’ve got,
And it doesn’t take a lot to know the fire must be fed.
The snow reminds us of our youth.
And the leaves remind us of our years.
The sun is everybody’s smile.
And the clouds are everybody’s tears.
This life can be difficult at best.
It can put you to the test with a knowing smile.
But this life doesn’t last so very long.
And we all will move along in just a while.
