A closed door is sometimes our own doing...not the Lord's.

Never question God's will for your life. Understand that God can give more to some and less to others ; yet what we can handle, and that "less" given to us can sometimes include even solitude. However if the ultimate goal of life is to live for Christ and obtain eternity in Heaven, if you end up in solitude yet are saved by God's grace, that is to be the greatest of all gains in this life.


Also know that we are held accountable in faith and by our actions, if God puts a love in your life; and you continue to stray in error; be it temptation or other, God closing a door is not always a result of his intent but possibly your actions. God's love to all was his mercy for everyone through the cross and Jesus, that is equal love. But, know that he can quickly take away a love if we don't deserve it in the deepest part of our hearts; and to choose wisely in your discipline and understanding of the opportunities God can give and take away. If you should fall, humble yourself and understand that God's love still means a chance at new beginnings a refined fire for God.

Perspective for the reality of God's role in our lives

For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control. 

—2 Timothy 1:7

Sometimes in life...we need an event, a loss, a solitude for humbleness to ask for it's seat back into our lives. As a Christian man, I have failed on many fronts. Be it the temptation to lust, the forgetfulness to honor God's word in all decisions of my life, or the failure to see what it is that is right there in front of me from God. Be it a potential life-long love lost, or a moment slipped. Still our God is faithful to us. The same spirit that spoke to Moses, David, or St. Timothy lives today; and yearns for a bridge to each of us. I feel it each time I seek him. I question why I lost a love, yet understand it is God's will not our hearts will, or our minds will that trumps his plan. Who knows what my future son might murmer to me  one day that helps paint a picture of that purposeful plan, and why a certain person wasn't the one for me, and why a certain person is. God's will requires thoughtful persistence and discipline from each of us to attain that path of fruition; both spiritually and personally , but to chase a life without a foundation of  God is to chase a dream without reality. Let us not become so wordily that we are to forget the meaning of love. Let us not become so wordily that we forget the meaning of Christianity, to love our neighbor as thy self; to fear God's word and honor his ways. Finally Let us not become so wordily that we forget to be humble, that the world's objectives of ego, pride, money, or other are only distractions to God's true love.

We were all given a unique and beautiful blessing; that is life. Let the sin of the world not cloud your mind as a filter for man into the lust of sin, better; stand with his spirit at your strength in leading a lost world into salvation and the remembrance of the point of life. Though many deny Jesus as lord, it is known to those who seek God through the power of his spirit.

What is in patience? Ask the harvest, you toil the soil of your foundation. You build the future with your discipline. Promiscuity may appear attractive to the eye, but life's goal of family & love is not a foundation built upon promiscuity or lust. When your son or daughter looks you in the eye and asks "Daddy how did you meet mom, why are we here" You should be able to tell him with honesty, and credibility.  The lust of your eye will be the pin to your future prosperity both personally and eternally. I am a sinner who loves God, and am seeking his way to change my heart so that I can find that love. God will not allow it if you aren't ready in my personal opinion. This is a great starting point for all.

Maybe it's when we get older or when we start to face solitude that we see how small we are compared to God's creation; life. That family should be the most important thing in life and who we love....and most of all the love of a father who never leaves. Maybe it is perspective or simply a look to the moon at night that is all we need to see how wrapped up we can become in this world.

What makes us humble is growing up, through wisdom; and realizing that wordily things are simply man made; not spectacular like our God. Our time here is not guaranteed, to know/feel his spirit is the greatest peace through all. Other than family what you create here is not going with you after it all. In times of sorrow, solitude or happiness love your family, and our God who is still here among us. Listen & Pray.

God Bless
