Damian’s paper

Damian picked up how pen to write but he had nothing to say and so he sat there, in silence staring at the white paper. For a while, the paper stared back as if taunting him, laughing as nothing transpired. Slowly the taunting stopped as Damian was rescued by his heart. The mind no longer in control of his moment, Damian embraced the quietness which opened the door to the tenderness which is our God.  His wing flooded with love, flooded with joy, flooded with peace; and, in this moment, he rested, he became one with his breath, one with the beat of his heart, one with unconditional love which solidified his moment with the Father. Though no words were exchanged, the peace that was found put humanity into perspective. One moment, one lifetime, one chance to rise above anxieties, rise above tensions and manifest truth in love via actions of faith embedded in trust.  Damian pondered, caught up in what people wanted to hear, he lost sight of what the heart needed to say; thus, his page remained blank for he lost touch with the soul, allowing the mind to erroneous think itself in control of his person.  Crippled by words, Damian struggled to pen his faith, to pen his relationship with the Father for it became lost in translation of the mind; semantics trumped feeling which blockaded understanding further confusing perspectives thus slanting reality to a tangible negotiation rather than the promise of the Father. It was not until Damian experienced the heart, silencing the taunting of the mind, that he was able to pen the Father’s love:

“Here I am, for you.  I want to hold that you will know the depths of My love.  I want you ever close that you make experience, with every breath, how much I cherish you. You are My child, I crafted you so that your uniqueness will help you to experience love, experience Me in every situation, with every human experience.  Your humanity is a gift, though flawed, you have the ability to accept or reject my truths; to accept or reject My love as offered to you without strings.  I tirelessly work that you will understand just how much I love you, just how much I care for you, there is not a moment which passes where I have not whispered My love for you. I wish to hold you close, keep you near that love may become your truth, become your reality, become your person.  I this moment, you have experienced pure love, embrace this love for it comes wrapped in peace, centered in hope and protected by faith. The world turns, it changes on a whim, actions become terrifying, hope becomes lost yet you need not fall victim to such madness for your heart is a calming purpose, it retains the truths and My promises, you need only listen. Do not get caught up in worldly matters for these last on but a moment and when the moment passes what is it you are left with?  Hatred? Anger? Disgust?  Be filled with My Spirit, be centered in love to the point where love is the basis of each decision, love is the basis for every action. You were born to be love, embrace you destiny by listening, by observing My love in your every day, in your every moment, with every interaction and react with this same love. The world reacts with hate, you need to react with love. Acceptance will not be your fate yet wholeness will...so love. Be love to a loveless world; be hope to a hopeless society; be strong for those who have become weakened by the poisonous words of the mind, entrapping their soul in pride, envy, and apathy. You have the ability and thus the responsibility to react in love. Turn the world in love, with love to the point where pride is no longer confused with popularity and success is no longer measured in coin.  Be proud of your person, your worth for you are but an extension of Me, of My love.  Share you, share Me, share My love by being love, by reacting with the heart.  I am with you every step of the way, just look, just listen, just feel...I am here, I am going to place else.  Your life, My life synonymous with love.  Every breath...love.  Every thought...love. Every action...love. Love is who you are, embrace you, embrace your worth by living each moment in love. “

And Damian’s paper was no longer blank.
