Whether good or bad because we never truly know what the outcome will be, whether it will be good or bad. We are always left completely in the dark, we don't always know what the future will hold and yet there is this urge, this sinking feeling that change is coming. We know that there is something coming just on the horizon; if we hold out our hands long enough we can grasp and take hold of whatever that something is.
But we're reaching into the dark, and this dark exists only because our eyes can't see what is there. Our hearts and our spirits know and can see but sometimes that knowing gets lost in translation. From our spirits to our hearts, is an easy journey, not much difficulty in travel there. However, from our hearts to our minds, that's where the waters rise, the winds howl and the waves buffet the ships of this understanding, keeping it from reaching the shores of our conscious minds.
You see, our mind is flesh and it's comprehension is lacking. Our mind can only process impulses sent to it from the rest of our senses and then decodes this data, processing it into information it uses to proceed in its search for longevity and immortality. But it only operates on a 2 dimensional plane, and as a result, its wants and desires are also 2 dimensional. Enter our hearts, decoding the longing of our spirits which sees the rest of existence for what it truly is.
Our spirits see our true enemies without the veil that our eyes are encumbered by. Our spirits groan unto God and in return receives strength and direction from God. Our spirits commune with God, and God in turn seeks communion with us. Our spirits see into the unseen that we call the future and our spirits, upon directives from God, tell us to reach into that future and take hold of what he's holding out to us.
11" For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
This is the unknown that scares us because it is out of our control, and being out of our control is now in God's control.
I am now reaching into the unknown. I don't know with my mind what the future holds but my heart tells me, blindly with child-like faith and obedience I move forward with outstretched arms. I am not hesitant at all, with much prayer I feel liberated because I know that God is directing my steps.
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.” (Proverbs 3:5)
Change is always bitter sweet and this change being the most difficult I've ever had to make is truly no different.
Sincerly,
