Conversations I wish I could have. There are a few people in
my life who I know are searching for the great something in their lives. One who
we shall call “Sam” is looking for the inspiration again, the other who
we shall call “Dean” is looking for the perfect thing that will make him happy. I am
always afraid of coming off too preachy and that would turn them away so I will
write what I want to say to them.
Sam is looking for the next masterpiece to create; keeps
asking himself, when will the great inspiration come. I want to tell him that
it can only come when you let go of yourself and let God. That if you let the
love of God, who sent his son down to Earth to take your sin, that icky
thing which we are all born with that only his Son, Jesus can take away. When we proclaims him as Lord and accept him into our heart. That when you do that the
peace that you have been searching for will come, but until that point it will be
a fate of longing to be with Jesus and not being to make that leap to him and true inspiration.
Dean has known about Jesus at one point in his life and grew
up knowing him skin deep as his tattoo on his arm, and has since gone looking
for perfection of real love, but failing. Dean looked for it in himself, by
perfecting his body and making it an art form, by giving up his studies and going
after his love for film in all its forms, but never looking up always looking
around him at people, at himself, at women, but not at Jesus. I just want to
tell Dean to look up and let Jesus love with his love, because only then can
you really know his true love and how much he loves you. To give up the things
of this world and let him into your life, that it is not about the religion you
grew up with, which yes is only skin deep as your tattoo, but it is a about the
relationship of a father, which will never leave you, who will carry you
through the good, the bad, the ugly times and never let you take a step on your
own again if you just let go of your own search for happiness and search for
him and he will give Joy. Joy is not just happiness, (happiness is a man created,
feeling, that is meant to be a poor substitute for true Joy) it is an inner
glow of the Holy Spirit, which can only lift you up.
Since it would be too hard for me to talk to you, so I write
to you. I know that many people I know would fall into this category of Sam or
Dean and I know that every believer has known people like this, so we pray
for time and courage to say look and see what Jesus has done for me.
