Forsaken

You know, I am no longer surprised by being forsaken. It is just a reality in this life. Oh we can pretend it's not, and we almost have to just to survive but, ultimately we will be forsaken. The flesh forsakes. All that is in the world forsakes... eventually. I say that of course with a sense of emptiness referring to all of that. Gosh I can remember way back when-when I first heard His calling in my heart. [not that I know which event took place first or what order]I just remember the utter reality of the empty promise of the flesh. There it was, holding it's hands out to me even after I had seen clearly that it would chew me up and spit me out. But, hey if I was dumb enough to come for another ride..it was driving ya know? It takes a miracle to see that there is another reality all together that exists outside of the realm that is in the world. The world does an excellent job in tricking all who are in it. Gosh I remember just how much that end of the road hit me. It hit me SO HARD in those early days. God the depression of it all. I can remember trying to express this to others even and they seemingly not knowing what the heck I was talking about? [they said they were Christians] Hey I am not saying that the intensity has to be there that I experienced but, don't we know that the flesh is making moves constantly to pull the blinders over our eyes? I thank God that He seemingly used this to release me into a Life and awareness of Life I could not even contain nor produce. For the joy just flowed out of me. The peace oh so still. Oh and the love...oh the love. Man, the things we do not see have all the real meaning while the things we can see..well you know the testimony.
