When I look at the stars, I realize how small I am. As I look at money, Fame and Glory, I realize, none of it really matters but the Divine aspect of life. The Divine Essence that we can manifest through mercy and love. St.john of of the cross, taught us a good moral. He speaks of not searching for all of these superficial things, but searching for God and his overwhelmingly divine mercy and love.. As I grow and get stronger, I feel more peace among myself. A notion that everything is where it needs to be. Everything is how it needs to be. It is God's plan. For a beautiful future In Loving Arms. God gave me the tools to create a beautiful life. He gave me a profound mind to look beneath the surface and with his Grace I Rose From the Ashes, creating wisdom far beyond my years. I have Dreams of being a preacher and going to school for theology. To know more about spirituality and bring love and truth among my fellow man. So many of us walk a straight line. We have minds that we don't use and eyes that don't see. They just follow along to whatever they think holds power. Sadly it's mostly ego, narcissism and arrogance. Because they never witness true strength. I'm not casting stones for I understand. At one point in my life I Was the Same. I didn't know who I was, so I had to identify with something. Though it would just make me emptyer. It would leave me in shambles, running away from my true self. Not acknowledging and not knowing the pain I really felt inside. For the mask seem to cover it up for a short period of time. It took five years of therapy to understand that love, compassion, and mercy is the key. It took 3 years to drop my pride and love who I really was. Because when you strip off the mask, our pain is as beautiful as our true self. For I had to embrace my true pain and Conquer it with love. Conquer it with Mercy, Conquer it with God. For when I stripped off the mask, I felt this overwhelming feeling of mercy upon my past lives And deeply cared for myself for the first time in my life. I'm pretty sure that's the true definition of finding God in the Darkness. For when the pain gets too much to bare, we have to turn to God and become real no matter how brief it is. When I'm feeling good, I feel God's grace and when I'm feeling bad God blesses me. For I acknowledge that I'm human and I feel. And I know now that running away from your emotions is the easier route. So I just show myself all mercy and accept that I feel bad. There are lots of parts of me that still haven't healed. So I must show them as much mercy and love as possible That's how God works through me And the more enlightened I feel the more I can share it with others. For he is Mercy, he is love, he is empathy, he is beautiful and I, like everyone else in this world was made in His image. So I will Thrive to be the best person I can be. Pure, loving, understanding, and most of all beautiful.
