Caught in the web of destruction? How to get out.

Healed people heal people.

Sometimes though.

It takes a lot of digging.

A lot. Of digging.

For truth.

For lies.

Digging to discover whether or not. Seeking daily whether or not…..

Does God really lived beyond the skies?

None of us know. Until we get “there”. There are better ways to discover. The truth though. Some of us have worn our shields of armor for our whole life. Our masks. Forgetting to put them down, take them off. Why not try to…

Give it a rest.

Give ourselves a rest.

”What is hidden under his severity? (PF). A person’s severe actions and resulting convictions? A person’s allergies. A person’s allergy to duplicity? (Pf)

One answer. They cannot get out of the web—the web of deceitfulness, double-dealing. Deceiving selves and others. Stuck and tangled in the web of the never ending story.

Destined and determined to duplicate the mess. Over and over. Carry it on. Tiringly, stubbornly, relentlessly.

Yep.

Just to get what they thought they wanted, only to find out it never was what they really wanted. Wasn’t what they though it would be. Frightened and scared because they felt dis allowed, dis avowed from the simplest of things and just weren’t allowed to

Ask questions.

Challenge.

Change.

For the Better.

So. The web drew and grew. Drew everyone in and grew larger than one could ever imagine.

And things were not good. Bad even. Throw in a little assumption, presumption and negative gumption and we have ourselves a downright mess of things. A duplicitous web of never ending deceit and destruction.

I do not know about you. I need some help with this webby idea. Doesn’t “jive” with my view. Of how things can be.

Better.

I prefer to leave my presumption at the door, at the gates of he** even. Rather than become drawn into the allergies of duplicitous doings.

Gumption- Shrewd or spirited initiative and resourcefulness. O.k. We are all capable of using our resources. Of conserving our resources. Of sharing our resources. Good and or bad.

Do we. Do you?

What? You ask?

Share.

Yes. Of course I do.

Do you really….

Share the good, at the expense of the bad?

Oh. That is what you really meant.

Yes. That is what I really meant.

The Good. The happy. Just because.

Not to gain. Not to cause another to, to lose.

But. Share.

Just because.

Do you have a “Conversion Aversion”. An “all for me, none for thee” mentality?

If you do. Yikes!!

Do you want to change to be something for the better? The greater good. Or do you like, prefer the sticky, icky place in the web of the life you have created to shield you from others? Project onto and stonewall you from others?

To keep your keep so to speak.

“A cry for Love”?

I get it.

Really.

And I hope so.

Because that I can help with a little.

I have known true and honest love. And it feels

Good.

Not

Bad.

And I will love to share.

All that I can, all that I have with you.

None of us are really allergic to love.

We just think we might be.

Seasonal allergies? The smells of springtime love and fancy. I dunno. But I will be game to plant a seed of no doubt and go from there. My sharing includes my beliefs that

”His mercies are new everyday.”

I live by that.

No. Not because I love to make mistakes and then throw them onto the pile of p**p for you to pick up after.

Because I really, really believe in the power of apology and forgiveness as a way out of the web of deceit and destruction.

I really do.

Self sufficiency is great. But not if it is the only tool in your armory of protection. The wall of stone built around you to keep others,

”Out”.

At arm’s length. To keep them close enough to watch, yet far enough away to use as you wish.

No thank you.

Exhausting.

Kinda icky, and sticky web-like stuff.

It’s not o.k.

Preferably. A sense that they are sinners too. A good start. Line up with those who are humble.(PF). It really is a nice place to be. A good place to start the dig of growth.

A brilliant beginning. And we can go from there. How? To wherever the truth takes us. “Sense they were sinners” (pf) Choose humility. Confess failings, own hypocrisy. Admit it. Move along.

Will not, does not mean you are the doormat of all doormats.

On the contrary. It allows an ongoing self assessment. A look under the hood so to speak. Keeps the motor and car both running. Look at ourselves, look at one another from Top to Bottom. We are under control. Sometimes we actually do honestly forget. And that is o.k. That is normal. That is human. Helping another to get back on their feet is one of God’s great mysteries.

I plan to continue to dig and discover the treasure of why GOD offers this beautiful option of curiosity and wonder and share it with you.

No web-like distractions to cause you to forget, no loud shouting to cause you fear, no mind numbing with the sake of numbing the mind.

Just a little thought, a little prayer, a little regard, a little energy, a little solid, a little soil, a little water, a lot of digging—my apologies—never said it would be easy.

No shame.

No ashamed.

No deceit.

No course of spindling and swindling so as to cause dwindling.

Energy levels will rise.

Spirits definitely will too.

He wants that for us.

He wants to include us.

Did you know?

He never gets tired.

Of you.

Of me.

How cool is that?

He asks us daily—-DAILY— to return to Him

warts 😩and all, failings and all, doubts and all.

Offers only the opportunity to begin again.

Just as we are.

How cool is that?

With our own poverty, misery, failings.

If you look at one very closely, a web may look beautiful, with its preciseness, and wonder.

But a sticky, icky web is one not a good thing to get drawn into. Because there is a good chance no matter how hard you try, you may never escape. It is after all, designed to “catch its prey”. To trap and catch its prey. Leaving you exhausted, tired and sad and duplicating the deceitful parts of the web over and over.

Try the alternative.

Grace.

Humility.

Honor.

Day by Day.

Here and Now.
