In the Bible Matthew 6:22 reads: "The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is single (good), your whole body will be full of light".
I have been like a nomad as of late wondering around coming across all kinds of characters, personalities, and perspectives. Along this season of what seems to be a journey into the unexpected and unanticipated I have seen all sorts of different things I never thought I would. I have noticed that most everyone I meet is focused on what appears to me to be the wrong things…it seems that their eye is tuned into what will not help them reach their desired ending…Their Destiny.
For our life to be infused with light it seems to me that we need to stop looking at our past and what has happened to us and stop trying to find out how we are going to get to our future but focus on what we are doing today. Is what we are doing right now bringing light into our body…our inner life? Do people know who we are for real or do they know who we used to be? Or are we acting as if we have arrived at our dreamed place. I am not really sure but one thing is for sure not very many people are shining.
The lamp within us is flickering and for some it is out completely. We need to reset our sights on the horizon and move forward not looking back for it is never too late to see your horizon again.
The more I gaze into the eyes of society it seems there is only the heart to achieve so level of financial success. Finances are a necessity but so many of us are trying to give off a false appearance of riches that is has stolen our humility and replaced it with pride. Our vanity has become our humanity. We are no longer caring about each other but just caring about how we appear to one another. If we look the part we must be it right? Wrong. Most of the people out there that we see walking the streets in there $350 dollar jeans and $220 dollar shirts are in debut over their heads all for the reason to give off the appearance that they are somebody…well they’re nobodies just like everyone else except they have credit card debut they’ll be paying back until they are dead.
The more I keep living the more I understand that simplicity is a huge key to happiness. The more I work on being okay who I am the more see how simplistic I really am and the more I desire to be there.
