Just One Little Break

I know that many of you are under the attack duress and distress of life.  For some life challenges might have come gradually and might have intensified throughout time, for others it has come unexpectedly and suddenly.  For others it might be that life is just empty and meaningless, and while meditating, the thought about not existing seems so delightful and peaceful.  This does not necessarily mean that you are going to act upon those thoughts.  But many are just so tired, and the idea of living another day seems so excruciating and monumental.  I am not offering radical miracles.  I know that many have heard about God.  Many have the idea of God attached to the image and perception of churches and systems asking for money.  Others have the idea of God through the interactions of others such a very close family members who have hurt them deeply (e.g. parents).  Others might have had a painful or disappointing experience with a religious leader that might have a very painful, disappointing, and/or doubtful.  This might have possibly impacted the perception and idea of God, and your relationship or the potential of having a relationship with Him.  In your current situation and circumstances allow yourself a moment, a minute, five minutes, you decide.  I know that many may be overwhelmed by many intrusive thoughts and worries of circumstances that at this moment you feel powerless to fix right now.  But be kind with yourself, and allow your mind a short mental break.  And just for a moment allow yourself to contemplate the possible IDEA of a loving God, a kind creator, that would love and desire to have a relationship with you.  That would love to have an “organic” relationship with you.  Do you have anything to lose? And now during the week I am inviting you to take a short break on a daily basis to think about this about the possibility of having a close and personal relationship with a kind and loving God.  Just five minutes a day.  I know that you are tired and very likely overwhelmed, but let’s just take it from here, one day at a time.
