End of A Perfect Day
At the end of a perfect day. Do you think it is when the sun is shining and the weather is perfect and the sunset is glorious? The children told you they love you, your husband or wife adored you, you have money in the bank after all the bills are paid, you go to work and your boss praises you and gives you a raise for great work done, you look at yourself in the mirror and you have a 'good hair day', there are no family squabbles, your children are staying out of trouble...on and on.
A 'real' perfect day is when everything you thought would go wrong did, but the end of the day you are able to look at what happened and say thank you, it was perfect because I made it through it all.
There is nothing impossible, ever. There are inevitable struggles in all of our lives, with family, friendships, finances, etc. There is hardship and death; broken relationships, unbelievable pain in all aspects of our lives. And if you stop and feel His Spirit deep within you, all in that moment right in the midst of it you will find peace and experience true love and joy in your deepest pain and lack. This is where you will find yourself if you are willing to look deeper, because true love, peace and joy are not conditional on circumstances.
John 14:27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
Romans 15:13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit
Phillipians 4:7 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit
There is nothing that can separate us from the love of God, absolutely nothing. And when it comes down to it, even though we don't need to look back to assess the day, it is beautiful to see how He walked with us through it all. Every situation, every perceived perception based on circumstances has been taken care of at the end of the day; each accumulating day, week and month and year.
"For memory has painted this perfect day with colors that never fade, and we find at the end of a perfect day the soul of a friend we've made." ___ Carrie Jacob Bond
Down to the simplest experience, and most profound victory, to be able to see it all, at the end of every day, without any additional thought about any of it, we just say 'thank you', it was perfect.
