HEAR THE SOUND

OF THE BEEP

Life revolves and evolves from the beat of the heart. Do you know that life and death are only one heartbeat away? As I take a closer look at life and I talk to people, it seems that a few of us are truly happy. Most of us are just living from day to day. We need to get over our pasts and take control of our destinies with Jesus Christ being the head of our lives. The thief comes to steal, kill and destroy, but Jesus said I have come that you might have life and have it in abundance (St. John 10:10).

In the body of Christ especially, the people are so unhappy, dissatisfied and lonely. They don't know what they want or really what they need. It's a trick of the enemy. If you're counting on the world to give you what you need on a silver platter, you will be waiting a long time. It's there but you have to get up and get it. You may be experiencing a job lost, death or some other life tragedy, but God. It's a cold world and evil is all around us, but God. Get quiet and listen carefully, it may be a shallow sound; you are still

living, so tell your heart to beat again. Our emotions are the expressions of our heart. What one really feels is always expressed outwardly. Maybe you couldn't control what happened in your past or even what's happening at this point, and I definitely don't have all the answers, but I nearly tried everything I could to kill the pains of my past. If it had not been for the grace of God, I would have killed myself. I had to say good-bye to where I've been and tell my heart to beat again.

"It's there but you have to get up and get it. You may be experiencing a job lost, death or some other life tragedy,

but God. It's a cold world and evil is all

around us, but God."
