Engaging Life: Within ~ The Lord Our God …

Philippians 2:4 ~ Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. 

Abba Father good morning ~ Unity is hard to maintain with diversity. Bringing people together of all nations. All races. All genders. All ages. Real people living real life with sole purpose of enhancing life. Unity willingly accepting one another without judging. Without condemning. Without discrimination. Without having an alternative motive for personal gain. Unity feeling heavens intimate agape love; lives compassion with engageable emotions. Extending forgiveness even when it hurts. Unity starts deeply within our heart with real feelings of love. Penetrates our mind with compassion to help. Occupies our soul with desires to forgive. Unity is lived purposefully, intentionally, intimately. Our life is always engageable. Our efforts, our motions, our loving actions; generate hopefulness believing all lives matter. Our life can live breathing life at its very best within God the Father ~ God the Son ~ God the Holy Spirit. We live among lifestyles of constant busyness, chaotic chaos, worldly dysfunction. It seems every moment has been claimed, occupied or is unavailable. Daily moments wrapped around everyday living. Living among this world of many choices, a worldly world spinning rapidly in all directions. It can be overwhelming to live staying focused, on task, and alert. Our life can get exhausted just reflecting on this day: traffic, cell phones, texting, emails just to start. Realizing we must cook, clean, care for real people. Responsibilities to be actively completed respectfully. Everyday tasks that just wouldn’t go away; they take our time, our energy, our resources. Our life is being trained by the ways of this world to automatically go into survival mode to make it through each day. Our time is over stretched. Our energy is constantly drained. Our temper is living on edge. We have depleted the resources within our own life that bring strength to help others. One must slowdown. How is this possible to live life and still miss so much thriving life? When was the last time you left the cell phone behind? Took a walk through the neighborhood? Engaged within a spontaneous conversation? When was the last time you turned the computer off? Slowed down and visited a real person face to face? When was the last time you reached out into a life with the sole purpose of sharing our life? When was the last time you relaxed playing a yard or board game? Playing catch. Riding a bike. Having a bonfire. Or just plain sharing stories among real people? Live alertly. There is a heavenly reason The Lord Our God purposefully provided living nature, the magnificent universe, all of life. There is a reason for a shady tree, blooming flower, gentle breeze, soft caterpillar. A sunny day, thunderstorms, snowstorms. The list: it continues on my friend. These free-gifts of life are all engageable. Heavenly gifts within The Lord Our God for our life. Heaven above fully engaging within our life. Our Living God is actively engaging and loving all of life. Overshadowing our life with sole-purpose of living renewed, refreshed, redeemed, restored. Refocusing our life within free-gifts of The Lord Our God’s powerful life-changing undeserved grace. Heavenly gifts that absolutely cannot be earned, cannot be purchased, cannot be created on our own. Heavenly moments where life engages life. These anointed gifts, these heavenly moments are overshadowing all of life with living hope to breathe, compassion to feel, agape love to engage, forgiveness to release. A gentleness this worldly world can never comprehend, never provide, never fully understand. Undeserved grace; it is fully engageable. Heavenly gifts actively breathing everlasting life (Holy Spirit) into life’s brokenness (our sinfulness) within anointed sustainable life (Christ Jesus) within everlasting life in heaven (Abba Father). These free-gifts cleanse, redeem, restore all sinfulness. Life-changing gifts opening our heart, our mind, our soul to realize there is much more to life. Just existing, surviving, withdrawing is not our sole purpose. The living bible teaches Our Lord Christ Jesus was constantly reaching out into this world of extreme brokenness. Getting involved within real lives. Taking time to slowdown. Living alertly. Showing compassion. Touching with gentleness. Engaging within unity. Always making time to extend life-changing agape love reflecting worthiness. Non-judgmentally and sacrificially forgiving while restoring living hope. Breathing engageable compassion within all the fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Our life: We will have opportunities to make a positive difference within real lives living real life. Engageable moments within The Lord Our God’s powerful undeserved grace. It will require slowing down and living alertly: living aware of our immediate surroundings. Taking-action. Getting-involved. Reaching-out. Engaging-willingly. Something happens deeply within our inner-core of thriving life: our heart, our mind, our soul as our life lives willingly breathing The Lord Our God’s life-changing undeserved grace. Something comes actively alive when our life lives intentionally reaching out into the broken lives of real people living real life. Something actively changes within: Our Heart ~ Our Mind ~ Our Soul. There’s a heavenly transformation occurring within both lives restoring strength to the weak. Energy to the weary. Living hope to the hopeless. Heavenly faith to the faithless. Remember ~ We will have a choice, a decision, a way of life to choose. Slowdown. Live alertly. Get involved. Heavenly unity will require our time, our energy, our resources ~ Our life. Live alertly. Living intentionally ready, actively prepared, intimately equipped for moments of everlasting life in heaven within God the Father ~ God the Son ~ God the Holy Spirit. 

Father ~ Thank you for getting intimately involved within my life. Restoring my living hope. Rejuvenating my inner-core strength. Refurbishing my heavenly faith. Abba Father ~ Open my heart, my mind, my soul to see everyone as a free-gift of life-changing undeserved grace. An anointed gift of engageable life breathing everlasting life in heaven. Godliness, holiness, truthfulness coming actively alive engaging within my sinful life. Heaven about protectively engaging within my life. Father ~ I will need help living, engaging, breathing everlasting life in heaven boldly, courageously, fearlessly within you forever Abba Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit.
