God has a praise for me.

The world is coming together. Maybe not THE world, but MY world.
It's that season in life when everything jumbled in confusion and mess begins to settle. And you see the place and position of all you do.
It is in these moments where God gives us a moment to breathe. Not for the sake of breathing. But for taking in his Spirit, his breath. The life-giving power that restores. The time we have to recognize our blessings. The time we have to plan our next movement.

This is the year of the favor of our Lord.

So where is life going??
What matters??

No. What REALLY matters??
I dont want to hear the world's idea of this answer. The world will die. Give me an eternal answer.
One that lives. And lives on.

WHAT matters is already the wrong question. It's laced with error. WHO matters is the real question. WHAT matters refers to material, physical, tangible. NONE of that matters. It is WHOS that matter. SOULS. LIVES. US. THEM. EVERYONE.
I matter. My dad, he matters. My mom, she matters. My brother matters. Marideth matters. Sarah matters. Visa matters. Cyndle matters. Ashley matters. You matter.

MATTER: a subject of concern, feeling, or action.

A subject of concern, feeling or action. Dwell on that for a second.


I just claimed that material things DONT matter. And people DO. Let's see what love means. If we LOVE things that matter, what does that mean?? That people [ourselves and others] become subjects. Focuses. We learn to focus on the souls of others and our own souls... not our bank account, not our car that doesnt have the stereo we need [or want, excuse me], not our house that seems to be falling apart, not our medical history, not our degree, not our job security. To make things truly our focus, we have to eliminate the distractions. There are alot. But if we want people to become our focus, we have to let go of concerns such as those. And if we manage to make souls our focus, what does that mean. Concern, feeling, ACTION.

ACTIONS speak louder than WORDS.
ACTIONS MATTER. Ask those who are waiting on one person to take ACTION. To let them know that they MATTER. Ask them.

The world is bleak. But the souls are not.

This is they day of the vengeance of our God.

The fire has not gone out.
You decide what matters.
What matters is REVOLUTION.
and what matters is LOVE.
and what matters is YOU.


You matter.
You matter to me.
And you matter to GOD.
And that is all that MATTERS.
