In the Journey

If you knew me growing up, you know that I was quite shy in high-school. Yes, inspite of contrary belief it is still true of today. I have always had so much to say, but always keep my mouth shut and done much watching......don't know why....just happened that way. I have been writing now for years...and I'm taking a leap of faith and am going to post some of my writings on facebook. I started with "I Planted a seed". Here is another short journal entry I wrote...I don't know why I'm posting it now, but I feel now I'm getting older, and it is becomeing increasingly important to share who I am, not for glory of self, but because I believe it is evident in my writings that I am a follower of Jesus Christ. He found me and carried me through some tough times, and earned my heart forever. Whosoever reads this, I thank, and I earnestly hope that someone can take something from it. " In the journey, many will ask "what" or "why" in an attempt to explain the sense of eternity in their hearts. They are answered with numerous thoughts and ideas from many directions. It seems men seek the approval of others by trying to sell their thought, their ideas, and their personalities to others. You have no need to be approved by men, you are a beautiful thinker, created in the image of God. Some derive their "relativistic" truth from zealous yet misguided visions, from the ideas of others or the current trends of culture. Your search for truth must be pure, it must come from humility, and it must be willing to lay down everything. We will learn in time that all men are given a choice and an absolute freedom in that choice of how to live and for whom, but I have yet to meet a man who has to ability to forego that choice. In the journey we ask again what is the greatest truth. But observe the greatest of truths is the truth itself. The truth has already come, and has proclaimed himself, and made himself known by his fruits, yet still very few recognize him. The truth is like a seed, a seed planted deep within the heart. Once planted in fertile soil it becomes a wellspring of life-giving water, and overflows from within. If you want the truth, than seek the truth, but seek it truly and honestly, not for selfish desire or ambition for knowledge, but for the beauty and the glory of that truth. Seek truth because you recognize it leads to life, and nothing greater can a man aquire. Truth is more valuable than anything, than any experiance or idea or thought or place. Yes, truth is all that will remain. So remain in the truth once recognized, and that truth will be faithful to remain in you. Then wait and be patient, because truth tempers and molds and forms our hearts in time, than carries us forever into the timeless. For now we see in part, as in a dimly lit mirror, but then we shall see face to face with truth. I have much to say on the subject, but because I am changing and growing I can only say what is revealed to me in the moment, to say more would be to rise against what lives and grows in me and I am too much in love with that Joy. So I will show patience and hope. You see we are in this journey, its a journey that carries us home. I know when I first remembered where I was from, that fateful day when I was found by my Elder Brother in love. There he covered and cleaned me, from the inside out. So now I continue onward, my heart and my soul, my very all continues onward in this journey. You see I am returning home, and my Elder Brother has asked me to help gather the family, and remind and encourage them to continue home and follow him there. His Father sent him, my Father sent him, our Father sent him to reveal in marvelous light the way home. So Brothers and Sisters, let us continue onward in faith, in the journey, and make our way home. "
