"TEETER TOTTER"

Life is like a tether totter in which hate rock us up and down, up and down as it pleases through our lives and with so much tottering we feel dizzy, we feel anxious, we feel tired and depressed, we need to rest a little, but we refuse to stop hating, and with that much practice, we became masters in the ugly sin of HATE!
This causes a severe insecurity in us, we feel sad, we feel lonesome and some times, we may have had insane thoughts thinking in ending our story trying to take something that does not belong to us: Our lives!
We have always thought that we have the absolute ownership of our lives!
We say: IT IS MY LIFE! And I can do what ever I like to do with it!
IT IS MINE!
But that it is not true! Life is like a candle that God made and light it up for us to Illuminate other people lives, but IF WE ARE FULL OF HATE, we can only irradiate a “Hate light” that does not help anyone!
This “candle” made and lighted by God, gives Him and only Him the right to blow it out, whenever He pleases because it is His and not ours!
This unique opportunity of life in us, should be used to give light to others, not to quench other people lives, but to revive them, and put them at God’s service.
Oh Lord! What can I do? Is it something you can do to help me?
Magic words! Of course He can!
How many times have we received His help, but as soon as we overcome the problem we go back to the “See Saw” in which HATE on the other end of the board, continues rocking us without mercy, until we sincerely chose to jump off the tether totter and run into the warm and loving care arms of God and decide once and for all, to remain in them!
God is Love! And He wants to share His Love in us with others!
In His arms are not ups and downs!
Our faith in Him, keep us secure and invites us to know Him more trough His Word!
Our faith is like the anchor that keeps the ship in the dock in which we live secure and able to convert all the hate we have into LOVE for people!
Our anxieties will turn into patience, our insecurities, fears, depression, sadness,will change into peace, tranquility, humbleness, courage, happiness!
God practically, yank us out from the tether totter, and deposit us on firm grounds,beginning a new life with Him, that will continue forever!
But.. .. What if we do all that you say and still continue suffering?
Well, the whole world is suffering,we were born to suffer,but it's better to suffer doing good, than to suffer doing evil! Big and small, handsome and ugly, rich and poor from all races and colors, we all, suffer and have pain, but all these sufferings are much less when we LOVE!
Even God in the flesh, suffered until death to give us His Love!
Our life belongs to Him and to Him only!
If you put your lofe at the feet of Christ, along with your faith, you could say good bye to the tether totter!
And begin a new life thanks to Jesus Christ!
Blessed Be forever!
