This week’s Truth Speakers for Truth Seekers column is about looking up to Jesus Christ and the Living Hope within oneself and be a blessing amid shaky world.

Empty Handed
That day when Akhrie will behold
His beautiful face
When her eyes will meet His
And gratitude will fill her being
To the full
When her heart will burst
Because it will not be able to contain
The joy of being
With the One
Who is and was and always will be
THE One--Yeshua--The Way
THE Only One--Christ Jesus--
Who placed in her those assignments
And she knows all those-AND
All assignments attached to it-
Will be done, finished, accomplished
Empty handed she came
With just a blue print in her Spirit –Heart
But on this earth
All would be provided for her
To fulfil each assignment
And when she knows
The Father has been glorified-
Fully- through her life
All souls assigned to her
Are now walking in the Kingdom of Light
All needing Healing- ARE Healed
All needing Deliverance- ARE Delivered
All needing Life -ARE Resurrected
Reconciled
All books to be written- ARE Published
All songs in her heart to be composed-
ARE sung and On Paper
All music to be played by her- ARE played
Leaving a remembrance of Him
All children to be Rescued-
Brought to that “place of refuge”
Safe free, growing up His way
-She will do it all
Even above and beyond- what she dreamed-
What she thought -
But when it is all done
She knows-
“I am truly done!
Ready to meet Him- Empty handed!”
Because it’s not just Well Done;
-It’s DONE!
AND paid forward to those
She trust –will also
Pay it forward
And they too
Will go back to the Father
-EMPTY HANDED-
The above was written quite a few years back before a challenging time. This time, after the last article I wrote, some circumstances arose that challenged the very words I wrote in that column.
Then is it the things we said or the good things we say and then get challenged with? Both. Tests will come if you mean what you say. Either by God or the one that thinks he can be His opponent. At the same time becoming judgmental about others what they are saying or condemning yourself what you said and shouldn’t have or become fearful about it, are not helpful responses. Relax! What you say yes. But do not become so overzealous that you jump at everyone saying the slightest thing off.
Times are uncertain. Threat’s everywhere. Whether personal, in your workplace or worldwide, we live in a world where we have to manage and navigate through things that test us to the very core.
Ask yourself: what am I looking at? An older term would be: BEHOLD-
Behold! What a beautiful word! Not used much anymore except maybe in poetry, writing or Biblical terms. The meaning of it is to see or observe someone or something, especially of remarkable or impressive stature.
In the first two months of this year, ask yourselves what you have been beholding, seeing, been impressed by?
1. If it is the news from your social media, you are likely impressed in a negative way by what is happening around you or worldwide.
2. If you are one, where you are in a good season of your life, the sky will look brighter no matter what.
3. If you have been shaken by whatever is happening in your life, your peace has probably been shaken too.
Should we ignore any of this? That is the wrong question. The question should be, how am I going to respond to any of the above?
If number 1, pray for it- if you can and lift up those who are in bonds, war, terror or persecution. Get the right source of info though and once you submitted it in prayer, focus on how you can be a blessing to those right near you, your job and your responsibilities.
If number 2, remember those who are in a different season then you and reach out to them and help them if you can.
If number 3, behold and desire first the One who has, and will help you go through this valley once again. Has He failed you before? Then He won’t now. You do not know Him yet? Get to know the only living hope that is not temporal but reaches out to the other realm we cannot see. Of people living in the centuries before Christ, AKA heroes of faith and mentioned in the book of Hebrews it is said (Heb 11:13). These heroes all died still clinging to their faith, not even receiving all that had been promised to them. But they saw beyond the horizon the fulfillment of their promises and gladly embraced it from afar. They all lived their lives on earth as those who belonged to another realm.
The Christ, the hope of Glory, that either lives in you or can and wants to live in you is way greater then whatever shakes you right now, manifested for every holy believer to experience.
Col 1:27 Living within you is the Christ who floods you with the expectation of glory! This mystery of Christ, embedded within us, becomes a heavenly treasure chest of hope filled with the riches of glory for his people, and God wants everyone to know it!
Behold- His face. His Living Word- Your Hope.
If you do not hear from me for awhile, know you are loved by the One that I look at more than ever in this season.
You are cherished, you are loved by One way greater than I.
Be blessed as you continue to be the blessing I know you will be in a shaky world and look to THE Living Hope within you are at least find out if He is real. Just say: God, if you are real, show yourself to me!
Blessings
