TEXTURES

What is the surface of you day like? Is it rough and harsh and irritates the skin? Or is it smooth and soft making one feel so much better?

We each feel as our soul touches. And in our mind we set the pace for our expectations. If we look for shadows we will find them. If we seek light we will find it too.

One can not always be blessed with just the light. Sometimes life gets harsh along the way too.

None of this is a bad thing. Just a reflection of how things do bear down upon us. What really counts is how we choose to feel about it.

When the texture is rough we can decide to make it easier for ourselves we finding ways to avoid it. Then it never truly improves things. We get so used to not feeling we can't handle when we do have to feel.

On the other hand if we only are used to the harsh touches our lives may not be prepared for the times it is easy on the mind. God always graces us with such a mix.

But we still have to embrace it in our own way. To feel as he would inspire and accept as he would give.

Sometimes if the fabric of life gets uncomfortable it doesn't mean it is a bad thing. It might be that way as a lesson.

Not that we always are willing to accept such realities. There are times we resist. And if the cloth that God drapes upon us is even more harsh for specific reasons that can make things even more difficult.

Providing we never learn what we are suppose to know from the process. Providing we fail to embrace the threads shared for their intended meaning.

That is when we have the most problem. For the holy spirit tailors our life with certain aspects that are truly meant to bless and inspire.

And they made feel irritating at times. But if we go past the texture to learn the greater message being shared, they we can grow in the process.

For that life moves ahead. Wearing the garment intended, no complaints over how it fits either.

Such is the nature of life when we accept God's will and let his weave of calling fit our lives instead of some other choice. That makes the blessing we should always savor if we will but listen when he speaks. And for that we can be grateful, for doing so ends up with us wearing his robe of forgiveness.
