In some church's people do
what is called "testifying." Some people believe they are
too educated or too well-bred or too something or other to testify.
Thank God, I am not one of those people.
So I am going to testify...just a little bit here.
So I am going to testify...just a little bit here.
Psalm 23 verse 4 says,
"Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I
will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they
comfort me."
I want to tell you
something. I have known this bible verse *by heart* since I was 5 or
6 years old. By heart, baby. Yes. I'm telling you the truth. And I
want to tell you something else. Between January 2014 and June 2015 I
was walking through that valley of the shadow of death. And I was
walking and walking and walking. But you know what I forgot? I forgot
the "I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your
staff, they comfort me," part. Yes. You see, I forgot that part.
So I just kept believing that I was meant to be walking through that
damned valley of the shadow of death, wearing out pair after pair of
shoes, with no end in sight. I intuitively knew there would somewhere
be an end to it. But I didn't think about comfort or someone who
could provide comfort being there with me through it all.
And then in one unplanned
moment of grace last June my heart was opened up just enough and just
long enough for Yeshua to come to me and remind me of the "I
will fear no evil, for you are with me," part. Just enough and
just long enough for that message to come through loud and clear. And
even more miraculously---I believed it. Logic gave me no reason to
believe it. Science gave me no reason to believe it. I am still a man
of both logic and science. However, on that day it was a voice that
spoke through the void, through the mystery of it all that got
through to my heart. It was not a voice of science nor a voice of
logic. And I believed it, even though logic and science gave me no
reason to believe it.
Hallelujah!
Like I said, this is a
post of testimony. It is not an evangelizing post. It is not a post
of proselytizing. It is not really even a post about Yeshua even
though Yeshua is mentioned several times and a photo of Yeshua
accompanies the post. Find your own way. Find your own ecstasy. My way in no way needs to be your way. I
know there are endless ways and endless routes to get there from. I
hope you find it brothers and sisters. I hope you find it. I want
everyone throughout the earth to experience the joy I am now
experiencing. I hope you find joy. I hope you find peace. I hope you
continue to work for justice. I hope your life is guided by the drive
to birth endless forms and expressions of Loving Kindness onto the
planet and out into the universes...AMEN.
