Walking the Passage: But the World is Blue!

But the World is Blue!

"But the world is blue!" That is what they were declaring.... The world and everything that they saw was blue and had blue tinges to it as I went to try and describe that which was really what was being seen I noticed something.... The glasses they had on were colored blue... so everything that they were seeing was blue... but that colored the reality of that which was really there....

Today as I thought upon that scene... a picture that the Lord spoke to me.. I realized what lens do I have on? What lens of comparison? What lens of performance? What lens of fear? What lens of trust? What lens of love?

In any given day throughout the day all the events we encounter... all the people.. all the words... what words.. what thoughts and opinions are going to matter... what "truths" try to exalt themselves up as the final word... what final words are we going to allow to reside within us....

But in some areas of my life I am oblivious to the fact that I am wearing blue tinted glasses... I want to see clearly but the coloration of the lenses upon my eyes (my heart) make it near to next impossible...

But that is where I have learned to come to the Spirit of Truth and allow my Father to set my heart aright.... there is nothing else that can take those lenses off... nothing but His love... Our hearts have known living in this world.. they have known the harm of human kind... the harm of lack.. the harm of pain.. but He has so overcome all the trials and tribulations that would ever surface and He is a master redeemer and amazing lover of our souls...

I pray this prayer... Father let me see as You see.. let me see my world, let me see others and let me see myself as You see ... Father take off any lenses that would have me believe lies ... take off lenses that would hinder me from knowing the depth of Your loving care over me.... and then I rest.. I rest in His presence... and I hold my thoughts captive and I pray the mind of Christ upon me and I pray that as I am crowned with the lovingkindness of God that my mind would be transformed and know Him as He is and myself as He says I am....

One of my Favorite Narnian Quotes...

“One word, Ma’am,” he said, coming back from the fire; limping because of the pain. “One word. All you’ve been saying is quite right, I shouldn’t wonder. I’m a chap who always liked to know the worst and then put the best face I can on it. So I won’t deny any of what you said, even so. Suppose we have only dreamed, or made up, all those things – trees and grass and sun and moon and stars and Aslan himself. Suppose we have. Then all I can say is that, in that case, the made-up things seem a good deal more important than the real ones. Suppose this black pit of a kingdom of yours is the only world. Well, it strikes me as a pretty poor one. And that’s a funny thing, when you come to think of it. We’re just babies making up a game, if you’re right. But four babies playing a game can make a play-world that makes you real world hollow. That’s why I’m going to stand by the play-world. I’m on Aslan’s side even if there isn’t any Narnia. So, thanking you kindly for our supper, if these two gentlemen and the young lady are ready, we’re leaving your court at once and setting out in the dark to spend our lives looking for the Overland.

A Brilliant Quote from Marianne Williamson

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate,

but that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.

We ask ourselves, "Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?"

Actually, who are you not to be?

You are a child of God.

Your playing small does not serve the world.

There is nothing enlightening about shrinking

so that others won't feel unsure around you.

We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.

It is not just in some of us; it is in every one.

As we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
