On Holy Places

I believe it to be a place that God has taken to be His dwelling,

Of course God is everywhere.
But a Holy place is a place God has chosen to fill with his Work.
It is protected by His work, if you choose to accept it.
So accept it... & take off your shoes.
Lay down all defences.

You will not be hurt.
Here, you are safe.

You can cry about anything.
Everything.

You will not be scorned.
Here, It's alright.

I also happen to believe,
that anywhere people bring their pain to lay down at God's feet, God makes Holy.

On Pain

Pain numbs our senses, when trying to fight the pain we try to stop feeling. Trying to lock out the pain, we lock out people.

Pain devides, we thicken our skins, we build walls to protect ourselves, & so the world becomes devided with walls... everywhere.

Pain destroys, by locking out others we are left alone with ourselves & our pain, & it grows sharper.

But if we don't try to stop feeling, if we built no walls & didn't lock ourselves inside ourselves...

We see other people's walls, we find out that everybody else is hurting as well.

And because we hadn't dulled out our senses, our hearts go out to them.

Now, what happens after that is outside the scope of this blog entry...

But the point is this,
Pain is universal.

And so, Pain Unites.

God knows that, too. And used it -among other things- to unite Himself with us, humans.
