I find it funny. The overwhelming revelation of it all. It's almost as if the feeling rushed over me and the realization is blossoming into a massive garden. By now you must be wondering what "It" I could be talking about. I am referring to the views of this world.
It's funny how many people go through life seeing only what the mainstream media has to offer. They scream, "Life is chaos! The world is doomed! The sky is falling!", but when you take a few steps back and just breathe you'll find yourself dreaming. Not only dreaming, but seeing the world for what it really is. You begin to see it through God's eyes.
Yes, there is war, violence, disease, and disaster, but is that all the world ever is? Have we become to enveloped in sorrow and pain that we've gone numb to anything else this planet has to offer? God certainly wouldn't want it that way. He doesn't place the world in front of us so that we can live in fear...He places it in front of us so we know that he exists and can live in adventure!
I think in silence and feel air flowing across my back, but as I think the wonders of this world are revealed. Those visions of far off places bring me peace and they bring me hope. Sitting in the backyard of a villa in Tuscany with only the company of a few birds, a gorgeous vineyard of grapes, and the pages of a fantasy novel sprouting more dreams in my mind. Meandering the streets of Rome and leaving no statue unseen. Exploring the fields of Florence. Seeing Ireland and the never ending green that has been set there.
When we step away from the panic and discord we witness a more brilliant world, not full of anger or depression, but filled with passion, love, and beauty. So, perhaps the sky isn't falling. I find that the world of chaos is an illusion, for the most part that is, but the world of adventure, of life, of brilliance...now that's reality. It sits right in front of us for the taking...An adventure bestowed to us by God. Will you take it? Or will Fear reside within your heart? Just remember this...Fear is indeed an illusion of doubt, but Courage is for certain.
