Being in the moment is the present of the present

Monday Message

To learn from our past is not living our past…
 
What is your present reality?
Is it evergreen?
Are you soaring high like the birds jumping and chirping from the trees?
Even in the rain?
Even on the cloudy days?
Or are you feeling washed away?
Frustrated.
Devastated.
Because everything is just so complicated.
Even the simple things
The ‘it shouldn’t always feel this way’ days…
You’re feeling lack
When all around you
Is a world filled with beauty, blessings, and the workmanship of His craft
Oh, how you just wish you could laugh!
and if you would only look up
Dig within
Finding a past that forgives
The past version of you
That let all the anger spew
Like a tea kettle
Steamingly hot
But drink too soon
and you’ll burn
Before you learn
Missing the good view
Of the honey slowly melting
As it stirs with the spoon
and that my friend is all He wants -
To melt with you
To mix together the aromas
As the sensation seeps
You look down deep
and see the only way to make this moment sweet
Is when you stir together
All of you
With all of ME
Your Friend, your Advocate, your God, and your King
Darling, let it steam
and in that heat
Is where you will find
The sweetest of tea
The intertwining of you with Me.
