If you are chasing does that not mean that something is running?

I wrote something like this when I was 27 but can not find it yet it’s on my heart so I will share what I remember( let me add that I am on the Rainbow right now.

Throughout this storm of rage the devil is trying to lash out at me, I am able to see the Rainbow of a promise of a better day to come. Nothing would hurt me more then to think I would not spend eternity with God or my Children; He truly is the meaning of Love. Imagine giving up your child so the person next to you is saved. I will not bring something or someone to him and ask for His blessing, I will in fact wait with an open heart for him to give me what has already been blessed. I will teach and show others His way, this is why God has brought me, and this is why he sent his son, this is why He loves me.

A lot is missing from it but I knew it was Gods promise that what I was going through during that period was not the end of my life, it would not destroy me; I saw in my mind the rainbow, a life not let lived but promised.

When we are going through hard times, desperately we want to see the through the storm and find our rainbow.  We try to convince ourselves and others of what God wants for us; we seek our desires not His. Sometimes we need a little more rain to wash away our own longings.  You cannot bring something or someone to him and ask for his blessing, you wait with an open heart for Him to GIVE to you what has already been blessed. Do you really believe that in any relationship, be it professional or personal, that God is only going to make one side aware that it’s meant to be?  You do not chase what is given. If you are chasing does that not mean that something is running?  What is running away from you is merely heading to their destiny and you simply are not it.    ~Carlene Altom 1-29-12
