Rest in Peace

Amazing how one moment I can know exactly where I’m going, what my purpose in my life is, how to feel, how to be and then the next moment I can FEEL the exact opposite. That is just what it is. Feelings. Our feelings can go up and they can go down. Our emotions are the external manifestation of our flesh and our mind. How awesome it is that during times of uncertainty and times of my feelings attempting to dictate, I can remind myself that my spirit has been born again. My spirit that was once dead is now once again resurrected the moment I believed in the One that was the first fruit of resurrection. That resurrected spirit is eternal, it’s whole, it’s perfect, it cannot sin, it knows no wrong. That spirit will one day receive new flesh and a new mind. But that whole spirit is me today. My emotions no longer need to dictate my dying flesh and mind. Instead, this shell of mine gets to respond to the reality of my eternal spirit that is whole and knows exactly its purpose, its destiny. From that place, my feelings, my desires, my thoughts all experience rest and peace. I no longer have to wait until my flesh and mind physically die to rest in peace. My spirit which was once dead has come to life and I get to rest in peace today and the best part of it is one day I’ll receive a redeemed flesh and mind to go with this eternal spirit. How awesome is the One that provided it all!
