Particles

We are matter... Made up of many particles...

Those particles matter and are unique to you. You were created to be a special person in this world. You were designed to bring LIFE and HOPE into this world.

Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us."

We all have a past. We all have no clue what the future holds. What we have to make the most of is the PRESENT.

We take all that matters of the past and let that guide us, but not hold us hostage.

We take the uncertainty of the future and keep moving forward doing our best to make a difference everywhere we go.

We LIVE in the present with all that is currently in us because that is the particles we need to use DAILY to bring HOPE and LIFE into the world.

I understand - you have pain. Those particles might be hurting emotionally or physically. Use that to bring understanding to someone else in pain.

I understand - life hit hard and you don't have a clue what to do next. Those particles might be torn into pieces and you feel like you are falling apart. Stop and cry out to the Creator who LOVES you and is in you because HE is always there and desires YOUR worship.

Your response to pain, uncertainty and darkness will CHANGE the atmosphere. CHANGE the matter and particles in you by KNOWING that YOU matter. CHANGE your mindset to bring healing to the particles in you. Changing the particles in you will change you. Focus on the things that are good.

Philippians 4:8-9

In conclusion, brothers, focus your thoughts on what is true, noble, righteous, pure, lovable or admirable, on some virtue or on something praiseworthy. Keep doing what you have learned and received from me, what you have heard and seen me doing; then the God who gives shalom will be with you.

Proverbs 17:22

A happy heart is good medicine,

but low spirits sap one’s strength.

I love knowing how intimately I was created and made. I want to use that knowledge and understanding to bring LIFE and HOPE to those around me. I want to keep the particles in me happy, thankful, and focused on what HE is doing.

Take time today to let the past be the past. Recognize that the future is there and make plans, but know that they could change in an instant and don't worry about them. Take what lies within and make the best of today. Put all the pieces and particles together and KNOW that YOU matter. Know that those particles make SOMEONE who is amazing and share that with those you meet.

Shabbat Shalom -
