PASSAGES BEYOND

Eyes of faith know there is more to life than this reality. They can see with the mind and soul who this is not all there is.

Oh you can't always pass on that sight to others thought. Not to make this all mystical, but I know how at times I have been aware and even seen the presences of the Lord's messengers.

And I know that they are always around whether I think about them or not. Just part of the spiritual reality that not every one believes in.

I've wondered at times why God doesn't open everyone's eyes to the appearance of His messengers. However, I do appreciate this would not improve things.

The problem is that for those without no ability to see God's handiwork now, they would see it any better with help. It is a matter of the lack of faith.

A simple issue that can be talked to death, but remains the most essential aspect. As long as our eyes refuse to see, our minds will never have the vision.

The problem as I have appreciate is so often we want to be shown first and then believe. At least that is the excuse.

And as logical as that might sound, it isn't really going to change things. But no matter what amount of evidence is provided for some they will not be swayed.

It is amazing how the mind can so ignore the truth. At least when it disagrees with what we want to believe.

What I do appreciate also is that the only way things can change is with the Lord's help. It won't happen by our doing.

For the Lord knows the heart. He sees inside each of us to what is the most important. This can be so critical.

For there are times when it might seem cruel or hard to appreciate on our part, but there are those who no matter how they appear, will never believe. Always be asking questions, but never changing how they feel.

It is the process of choice. Whether we always prefer to question or reach a point that accepts more is there than we can know.

Then comes the challenge of taking that first step. To be able to simple move one foot into the place beyond our thoughts.

And when we do, God will greet us there.
