Life Is Not Drowning Us; HE’s Only Making Waves Of Refinement

Monday Message
What do you do when you feel like you are drowning
Do you hold your breath
Accept the death
Or do you attempt to swim
To keep afloat
Knowing that above the water
There may be hope
 
I think we all desire to stay alive
To keep in this world
And give it a try
 
This unordinary life
 
But what if we are supposed to drown?
In order to die from ourself
And come out
Back to life
To not just having a hold in this world
But a heart and soul
That inwardly glows
and outwardly shows
 
By the way we begin to live again
To show up again
To breathe again
Knowing that this suffering
These momentary hardships
Are all a part of His plan
To be on this earth
As it is in heaven
 
As we pray for more than our daily bread
But to feel what it's worth
The weight in our hands
As our backs begin to bend
We keep sinking
Deeper
And deeper into the abyss
But this light momentary affliction
Will make us new again
 
As we resurface to this earth
Dry land
Full of thirst
Thirst to be seen
Thirst to be known
Thirst for the only One who can satisfy our souls
As He wipes the mud stains from our eyes
We are no longer blind
To the evil that surrounds us
Amidst His joy that abounds us
 
So I pray everyday
For His presence to make way
To a new life
A new joy
Laughter with my boys
and for the smallest things
I now say thanks
For I know when I am drowning
He is only making waves.
 
"For whoever wishes to save his [higher, spiritual, eternal] life,
Will lose it [the lower, natural temporal life which is lived only on earth];
and whoever gives up his life [which is lived on earth] for My sake and the Gospel's
Will save it [his higher, spiritual life in the eternal kingdom of God]."
Mark 8:35 (AMPC)
