When you think of the word Father, what does that word convey?
For me, the Father I wanted was one who would always be true to his word. For myself, I always wanted to live and be, the example of the Christ. In my mind, being true to ones word, was my ideal of what a Father should be. I suppose it was because , the father I had on earth, wasn't known to keep his? Don't get me wrong, he was as good a man as he could be for his time. However, his priorities were never the same as my own. My mother always loved him and there were many other reasons why we should. His life was a blessing in disguise, for I strove to be the kind of man, I had wished him to be!
I believe that children are born to create new or recreate what was missing in their lives. And if we are conscious of our lives, we realize this is the reason for our birth. Our purpose in part is to correct the mistakes of our past. I found my soul mate in the image of my own likeness, so in a way, I created the person hood on the shoulders of those who helped raise me. As I helped raise and support myself. I became the change I wanted to see in the world, by becoming the best likeness, of those who gave me life.
To do this I needed an example. I had found that likeness living within me. Somehow, Christ was all I ever wanted, and needed much of my life's journey for that to happen. I had totally believed in Him, and in His words: "You can do all this, and more" gave me a goal He said , I could reach! He had left His example for all of us to follow.
This was the journey I was born to see, the journey I needed to experience, the character I needed to develop, in order to live the Character of the Christ.
I wanted it more than family, more then husband ,more than life itself, for nothing meant more to me than The Love of Christ. It has been my life's work to express what I know Him to be..Not with words alone, for words without the living of those words, are nothing more than empty examples. I want to live the Truth of His Example..not with religious self righteousness, but rather by living His example of the Truth!
