Simplicity is not laden or loaded with burden.

Marriage or Mirage.

Pools of water seen over hot desert sand.

Illusions and hallucinations are products of the mind.

What we see is not always what we see.

What we hear is not always what we hear.

What happens when happiness is unattainable.

What happens next.

In a life of vow and service?

When the burden to bear becomes too much to bear?

Keeping the pressure of unimaginable dread and fear. On the mind. On the body. On the heart.

Where does one go? Where does one seek to find a place to cast the overwhelming cares? The sick in the gut feeling comes, and it never really goes away. Completely.

The unattainable peace, harmony.

The self fulfilling prophecy.

The self defeating wishing and hoping and waiting.

Unattainable.

Unattainability of happiness. So long as you both shall live.

Slings and arrows, arrows and slings. Never ending pressure.

Regret can cause the mind to cause the gut to cause the mind to cause the gut to cause the mind to cause the gut to cause the mind to cause the gut to cause the mind to cause the gut to cause the mi d to cause the gut to cause the mi d to cause the gut to cause the mind to cause the gut

To burden itself with fear and regrettable regretabilities.

Tendencies.

To abandon that which we cannot stand. Seeking and searching and surfing the net for the perfect mate.

One day you wake up and realize the perfect mate has been right in front of you and your eyes the whole time. Somewhat replaced by irreparable harm, irreparable damage, irreparable irregularities. With the current of the current.

“Come to me all you who struggle, loaded down with burden.”(MT11:28-30)

Fear can be the never ending leader of our fear.

Doesn’t have to be this way.

How did it get to this point, to this point in time. At this point in time.

Did our hearing just get better? Or worse off, did it get worse and we stopped listening. Were never really heard. A peaceful solution becomes an illusion in the mirage of the fantasy.

Somewhere in the mind’s eye, we felt an insistent presentiment. It took up residence in our gut to cause the mind to cause the gut to cause the mind to cause the gut to cause the mind to cause the gut to cause the mind to cause the gut to cause the mind to cause the gut to cause the mind to cause the gut to cause the mind to cause the gut to cause the the mind to cause the gut….

To give in to the fear. The suspicion. The foreboding. The presage. The unease. The perturbation. The misgiving.

Leaving us with little or no reserve to fight back. The alarum on constant alert mode. The inability to trust with complete completeness.

The funk of all funks.

The best and only thing that can conquer fear is

Faith.

Of greater good.,

Of greater goodness.

A war of words.

A war of declaration.

A war never begun does not have to be ended.

A servant heart does not seek thanks. The servant does not deserve thanks for obeying orders. When you have done all that you have been told to do say, “We are ordinary servants; we have only done our duty.” (Luke 17)

To believe we are always right is an arrogance not worth consideration.

To be right with God.

Is the aspiration. The inspiration too

When we have been put right with God through our faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. He has brought us by faith, into his experience of God’s grace, in which we now live. We rejoice then, in the hope we have of sharing God’s glory.

Not our own glory.

And. We also rejoice in our troubles, because we know that trouble produces endurance, endurance brings God’s approval, and his approval creates hope.

A lie has speed. But truth has endurance.

Truth and faith are an enviable combination!

This hope in God does not disappoint us, because God has poured his love into our hearts by means of the Holy Spirit, who is God’s gift to us. (Romans 4, 5)

Faith does have a prerequisite of examination of the heart. Our heart. To be able to receive it in full, in its entirety. Faith and actions go hand in hand.

So long as we all shall live.

What good is it for someone to say, “I have faith,” if his actions do not prove it.

Enter: fear.

It is not possible to have faith with our actions. Faith and actions work together. Faith can be made perfect through our actions. A man is out right by what he does, and not by his faith alone. (James 2/14-23.

Looking out. Way out there. At the landscape through a lens of fear will surely cause a mirage of illusion confusion.Makes little difference if it is man-made or natural. The mind’s eye is a very, very powerful recoding device of that which is scary, fearful fear mongering fear producing. Fear based fears does this to our selves, our souls.

It can make even the most rational of individuals turn to maniacs in a heartbeat. Regrettable regrettables the driving force of wishing and wanting for a

Do over.

Scariest stuff for sure.

To put your money where your mouth is.

To put your faith where your heart is.

To hope for a change.

To resist the false teachers who slip in unnoticed among us, who distort the message. Who distort the message about the grace of God to excuse their immoral ways and reject Jesus Christ our only master and Lord. Long ago the scriptures predicted the condemnation they have received. (Gnfmm)

This is not an extreme idea.

This is a practice of faith and its steadfast consequences when the burden is heavy the the solution is so simple. Simplicity is not a burden. Fear is.

When the burden becomes too much to bear. When the marriage and the mirage begin to blur the lines of clarity. The only thing left to do is bow down our head. Put the hands together and say a little prayer.

For you.

For me.

For us.
