~Do You See It~

Do you see it? Do you? Eh? You don't see it? Oh, well to see it you need to close your eyes and wait. Oh I know waiting is the hard part. The not seeing it you can deal with because you don't know what it is you're not seeing. So, simply wait! 

Are your eyes closed? Well of course not if you are reading this. Read ahead some so you know what to do when your eyes are closed. If you are like me, you often forget what you read even as you are reading it...unless of course it is of importance to you. So, read ahead and tell yourself what you are reading is important.

Okay, ready? Close your eyes (after reading this paragraph or more). Look for it! What is it you are looking for? You are looking for something you lost a while ago. Maybe it was longer than a while ago. It isn't necessarily something you see with your eyes. You see it with your soul. You need to look deep while your eyes are closed. Look into your inner most being...look into your soul. Do you see it? If you are like a very small percentage reading this, you have seen it all of your life. But if you are like most of the population, you need to seek it again. You need to seek it and keep hold of it! Look deeply! Search your soul. Your inner child. Do you see him/her? Do you see the free soul? The one with no cares?

Oh to be able to be child-like again. Of course we can't go back to being a small child. A small child with no cares, just grins and giggles and has imaginary friends and never-ending play. To be able to experience that freedom...that innocence. Can you feel the fresh breeze upon your soul as you let yourself go into that child?

Maybe you have read about embracing your inner child. Embracing that child-like soul. You and I know there is a difference in child-like and child-ish. The child-like soul trusts, none have been broken yet. The child-like soul is innocent, it hasn't faced the real world yet. The child-like soul is enthusiastic, it hasn't been let down yet. The child-like soul is naive, it hasn't been hurt yet. The child-like soul is spontaneous, it hasn't been hushed. The child-like soul is not calculating, it has had no reason to think that anyone is different than another. Your child-like soul is there. Think about it. Close your eyes. Take a deep breath. Exhale. 

We need to remember our child-like soul. We need to grasp it! We need to ponder it! In this world in which we live, our child-like soul has been squelched. The world is real! The world is ridden with hatred! The world is loaded with diseases and illnesses! The world as we know it is the destroyer of our child-like soul. In the bible, Jesus tells us to be like little children. Child-like! Grasp and hold onto your child-like soul. 

Open your eyes! Sitting quietly you see the One who loves your soul. He loves your inner child-like soul!He protects it! Jesus knows you inside-out. Have the faith to re-claim your child-like soul. That isn't to say you won't have to deal with reality. You will! You will have to deal with everything "grown up". But you can have that joy of a child-like soul. 

Relax! Take heart! Your child-like soul awaits to be re-awakened! 


*Yes, I know this was a more serious-type writing...but it was in my heart, mind, and soul to write. The child-like soul is amazing!
