Looking for some water, friend?
Last time we briefly touched on ecological mysteries that can both inspire us and are better left never thinking about again.
People in over 50 countries read my online writing, so be uniquely you and join in with what everyone else is doing!
Not so spiritual mysteries!
Spiritual mysteries always add a drop of water to our parched throats, and yet also increase our spiritual thirst for more.
Feeling like your spiritual life is a desert, and you haven’t seen any rain for a long time for your little seeds planted deep, that you desperately hope will emerge someday?
No problem.
Let the rain of God’s presence water the spiritual garden He has planted within you, as you meditate and chew on some more spiritual mysteries, including these three today:
1. BIRTH
I already definitively proved last time that apricots (and by extension – YOU!) are a profound mystery.
Oh yes, you shaped me first inside, then out . . . Body and soul, I am marvelously made! . . . You know me inside and out, you know every bone in my body; You know exactly how I was made, bit by bit, how I was sculpted from nothing into something.
Think about how AMAZING you are1 for a bit!
2. MARRIAGE
And this is why a man leaves father and mother and cherishes his wife. No longer two, they become “one flesh.” This is a huge mystery, and I don’t pretend to understand it all.
There are . . . things that amaze me . . . that I don’t understand . . . how a man loves a woman.
Which reminds me – my husband and I are celebrating 25 years of marriage this month! Yes, marriage is hard at times2, but don’t worry – if you take my advice, such as that given (for FREE!!) HERE and HERE, you’ll find out that marriage isn’t really that hard, after all, for example! Oh! And don’t forget to lean hard on God and beg Him for help! That never hurts, if you are looking for more help than what I’ve already given in the articles I’ve linked to here!
You’re welcome!
Good luck!
3. DEATH
I speak about the mystery of death HERE and HERE. Nothing ushers us into an awareness of the spiritual realm more than FINALLY admitting that this event MIGHT EVEN (!) happen to me (not JUST others! For example!), ONE DAY.
Behold! I tell you a mystery . . . . the dead will be raised . . . then shall come to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory. . . O death, where is your sting?”
But there’s better news than a black box and the lights going out forever, friends! It’s NOT just death, but something cool after death! Yah!
As the song below sings, “if eternal life is worth living, shouldn’t it start now?” consider pausing for a moment and sitting in the quiet space where the love of God is being poured out, like water from a tap. Got time to adjust your position and skooch a little more to the left (or right?) by adjusting our mindset so we can sit just under that tap for a bit, friend? Nothing turbocharges our spiritual journey like a drop of God’s love.
May you receive this love, poured out from the unstoppable faucet, today, friend, as you take a moment to meditate on the spiritual truths that are all around us, but that we are often too blind3 to see.
Thanks for liking me! I like you too! Let’s journey together!
