Loving Life

One dark, starry night a lost soul looks to the heavens and says, "Meet me halfway, I know not where else to travel; meet me half way, I know not by what means to travel; meet me half way, I know not the strength to travel more than halfway.  I dream of a place for You and I; a place where no one hurts and minds are satisfied.  Meet me halfway, will you meet me halfway I am lost and tired no strength to carry on.  So meet me halfway and I will heal, I feel Your love and know Your tender Voice.  Meet me halfway, a new life we shall create, a new me I shall now.  Meet me halfway, it will be a new beginning of a loving life.  Meet me halfway..."

Quickly there came a response: "No, I will not meet you halfway, I will not let you walk another step.  I will come to you, where you are and heal your wounds.  Not halfway, I will come to you; you are weak from a heavy load placed upon your shoulders, let me take that load from you, you need no longer carry such a heavy load.  Look, much of what you carry are past regrets, let them go, free them and free your soul; burden yourself with such regrets only keeps you from the present moment.  To be in this moment, you must dispose of this weight, come we will do it together."

"No, wait, don't get rid of that...I may need it later, what if I need it later and don't have it?  Please let me keep it, it is just one."

"You say that now and with each attempt of disposal you will say the same thing.  You have no need for such regrets, look honestly at each, what do they bring you but pain, remorse and hurt?  No, you need to dispose of them, your load will lighten, your so freed from the bondage you have placed upon it giving a new outlook on life.  Thought want you to dispose of such regrets, I will do nothing unless you are willing, are you willing together these go?"

"But you do not understand, I need these past memories you label regret because I don't want to do what I did before, I don't want to be treated like I was before, I must remember how I acted,meow others treated me and, when a similar situation arises, act differently.  Do you see why I must carry so many memories?"

"My child, you asked me to meet you halfway but I came the full journey that you may rest, I offer to lighten your load, I offer to you my wisdom and the freedom to emancipate yourself from such things that hinder your soul, that burden your very existence.  In the past you cannot live, life has no TelePrompTers every situation differs from the next for with every moment you grown in My love, grow in faith that is if your heart is open to such growth.  Exhaustion hinders this openness, open your heart and feel My words.  There is no need to hold on to hurt, no need to further self inflict pain.  I am here to wrap you in love, allow me to wrap you in My love."

"But, but, I don't deserve such love..."

"Ahh, my child, you called me here, you asked that I meet you halfway and here I am.  Would I come the full way, for an undeserving person?  My child, you deserve the best, you deserve unburdened love, you deserve freedom from chains, you deserve life.  My child this is what I offer to you, life.  Come with me, walk with me, dance with me, love with me.  Together we will make this life a loving life, filled with joy.  The need to rehearse your responses will subside, you need no fumble through past regrets to answer correctly in the moment.  Live who you are, live the love I offer and rest in My joy.  You said you dreamed of a place for You and I, a place where hurt was not real and minds were satisfied.  This request I can fulfill, listen to My words, let them be the key to unlock your chains.  I give you freedom from you, let My love be your wings, let my love be your energy, your strength to carry on."

"I want what I asked, I want to feel Your love and know Your tender voice.  You have met me more than halfway for I never moved from my place of prayer and yet here You are.  So why do I fear the shedding of this weight?  Its load is nothing but a burden, its load a monstrosity to say the least yet it is my load and I fear losing it.  The 'what if's' circle my mind, the 'remember when' haunts my thoughts.  The noise in my head creates static in my soul.  What will happen if I just let go of this heavy load?  Let us go, my Dear Lord, let us walk together into a new beginning of a loving life.  I will take Your hand, together we will walk an new life await for you and I.  Decision made and the static and the hauntings have been silenced, the mind quiet and I hear, well I hear nothing; it is beautiful! In this silence I feel love, I feel peace, I feel joy, I feel free!  Your love has healed my wounds, Your love has allowed me to accept my person, to live my person.  This is a new beginning of a loving life."

"Meet me right here, in my arms, together we will see this life as it resides.   Resides in love, blessed with peace be whole in moments where you are weak.  I'll be your rock, I'll be your strength, I'll be the peace that you so desperately need.  You are not alone, I am here, your burdens lighten with my peace, my dear.  A new life we've made, inspired by love...my love is for you that you may heal.  Bring to this place a love for you, chain not your soul and breath the hope I give.  Nothing need chained for you are love, may burden never hold again.  Halfway I will never go, I will always be here that you shall know.  With open arms, I give my love feel this love and you will be at peace."

"This love I feel, it feels unreal.  My heart it swelters with unconditional love.  I'll take my time, so that I may see, the truth of the words You speak to me.  A new life we've made, it looks so bright, every direction I see light.  Thank you my God, Your love it's like no other.  I will walk with you into a loving life."
