What really matters in a persons life is it the people around them that would take notice of what's important to them? What is important? Is it Love, understanding, and patience? Or is it the opinions or corrections? What about the misunderstandings of what people may say about your life?
What is Love? What is understanding? What is patience? I have always believed in my heart that God will do what He said He will do, but sometimes we jump to conclusions way too soon in the ministries God has called us for. To rush Gods calling or even to simply ignore the necessities and the signs because we are all to proud to realize them to deal with them in appropriateness. There must be time for healing, time to deal with issues that because of shame we dare not. There must be time to see what God sees; God sees what's in the heart, the most deepest part where people can not see or even begin to understand. Yet, it is God who sees and understands what is in our hearts

To tell you the truth I do not have the slightest idea what I am trying to convey. I thought I would just share a bit of what's in my heart, even if I do not fully understand it.

So... what really matters? Is it healing? Is it Time? Pastor CJ once said, "How do you spell 'love'? T-I-M-E." What "time" should it be? There should always be "time" for healing, love, understanding, and patience. There is always "time." When? When is there "time?" NOW is the "time." I have heard people say that we should take advantage of the our time; but I rather say, let us be wise with our time; at least that's what God has taught me throughout my life.

Here is a subject that is close to my heart and the reason for writing my reflection. This story broke my heart. The link below is about a Pastor who was a Pastor of a mega church; and how his wife dealt with what had happen in their lives. The link is an excerpt of her book, and the second is the article that came out in the news. I thought I would share so that to possibly pray for all those unsaid needs and struggles that are in the church and in the world. We talk about placing boundaries of the opposite sex and heterosexual relationships so much, that we forget that times are changing and not everyone struggles in the same way. Sexuality is being redefined and the heterosexual world that was once dominant is possibly and slowly becoming a minority (meaning, not the norm).

When will we realize what really matters and have the courage to engage these sensitive subjects and issues in the home and in the Church? Yet, all I can think of is the word "time." I feel that time will come. We should not fear the changes or dangers of our times at all; God's grace and mercy will shine all the more for those who Love and chose to follow Him.

"For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 8:38-39.
