MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

ALL SOUL

Your soul has traversed the darkest dimensions, slowly returning to the light, emerging to let itself glow again in the world, albeit like a shy bud warily opening to the winter sun, wondering if the frost will melt or try to kill it while it is vulnerable. It has suffered the deepest heartache possible, pain over and over, because it was naïve and wanted to believe that it could trust the “love” claimed, now left wondering if all words are anything but emptiness, promises only promising time waiting until they are broken.

The very first love of your soul returns, causing mixed emotions because of everything that has happened, the desire to embrace it again strong, but instinct whispering caution stronger, knowing that unless any words spoken can be backed up with action, nothing has changed, even as everything has changed, and there is no place in your life for any ambivalence. Only surety has a future in your future and anything that cannot prove its truth is not sure, requiring weeding with everything else toxic.

The darkness of your darkness has been banished, almost as if it knew you finally realized its pure motives, not the actions that almost perfectly matched the words and would have been believed had there not been unrest in your soul and you not known the truth behind the words leading to the actions. You strive to keep it from you, not wanting to give it any more power than it has been recently allowed in your life, seeking only to take from the experience instinct leading you in the same way as it is for your first love.

The life that you live now you want free of clutter, cobwebs that can become tangled mazes seeking to throw you off course, devils disguised as angels wanting only to wreak havoc on any peace, negative wanting to drown anything flourishing, winter wanting to take over summer light and create a world of endless darkness. You know what life you want and you are strong enough now to take control of its creation, finally realizing your true strength, not the illusion of it you had before.

You might be in one of the hardest parts of your life’s journey, but you are definitely coming “into your own”, despite thinking you had already, older and wiser than even when you endured the deepest heartbreak and most complete destruction of soul, a warrior recreated and transformed from the terminator, a phoenix reborn through the hottest of hell’s fires, now part machine and part human but all soul, with the power of that soul and its attitude softness carved into hard edges, a true heart still its essence.

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

GUARD YOUR HEART

Next to your soul, your heart is your most precious “possession”. For everything in your soul makes its way to your heart and eventually that in your heart becomes what you act upon.

I have always guarded my heart so carefully, barricaded it with stone walls upon stone walls and then more and more. But I let my heart open, those walls break a little, and when they did, I let the stone lie where it fell. Still though, I am careful what I let inside, even though sometimes something creeps in that I don’t see and affects me more than I realize until it shows.

Be ever so careful what you let into your heart, for sometimes it can destroy you and deter you from the path you are meant to be walking. That we let touch our heart becomes a small part of our soul, and if we’re not careful, can lose pieces of our soul to that which comes to “steal” our hearts.

When some of us love, we love with all we are and give everything of us. Sometimes a blessing, but also a curse, for when we love without restraint, if that love should break us it can take with it parts of us that are forever lost, and leave us “incomplete”. When you “lose” yourself and fall to shatter into immeasurable pieces, there is only one who can find all those pieces and make them resemble anything “whole” again.

Yet we cannot help sometimes that we love. Like I did not realize the ones who crept into my heart until they were there and so deep a part of me that at the time to rip them from me would be to rip away parts of myself, so deep “under the skin” were they, embedded into my soul itself. Even as “time heals all wounds”, to “remove” them from myself still caused irreparable damage, and so instils the “lesson” to watch ever more closely that which you even let NEAR, for like the wolf in sheep’s clothing some come close to only want to “steal your soul”.

Instead, every morning, seek His “face”, His wisdom, His words, His protection, asking that He guard your heart, to ensure that which is allowed inside is that which would only “cultivate” the seeds He has placed within you, give life to the dreams and desires being “birthed” anew, and nourish the precious soul that has been tested through the depths of hell to find “rest” nestled there. Make sure the souls that surround you, as you do those you “embrace”, want nothing more than to see yours fly, your heart to soar, to reach your ultimate potential in this world and see your “light” spread as far as the ripples on the ocean of life can take it.

Your heart is precious and should be treated as such. Not just by those in your life, but by YOU as well. You can let it be seen, but ask for His discernment before you allow anyone or anything in.
