Look At “Me”
A conversation between me and a beautiful struggling soul. Originally conveyed, July 16, 2016. There is an answer, but you have to reach back. Click the image or link, and extend your hand.
As with some other writings, this was brought about from a conversation I had and from the words that came to me overnight.
My Friend - Fri 9:38pm
“The world we live in is changing and not for the better. All these attacks are just going to get worse. God help us all. I'm tired. I will talk to you later. I hope you sleep well.”
Me - Sat 9:58am
Good morning, I thought about what you said about the attacks. These are the words I awoke to.
Yes, they will get worse. While this is sad, I would not focus on this evil. It has been known that this time would come. Instead, focus on the Kingdom and all the beauty and joy to come. Spend every moment with those you love. Love them and bring them closer to the realm of God. There is but one true answer.
This flesh we live within, is of no use. We need to allow our concerns with it to be taken by God. Though these times look bad, don't look at them, look at "Me" in all things and all people. (Do you understand what I mean when I use the word, "Me"? Not me Mark, but "Me" as in God.) (Just relaying a message.)
Instead of looking at these sorrows, know that evil will be and do evil. It is its nature. The details of its acts are of no concern. Look at, "Me" and the promise made so long ago. You will not be forsaken, so be joyful in all things now. Look at "Me" when you look at your husband and your children. See "Me" in all that is good within your life.
Bless you and your family. Thank you for being the shoulder when I needed it.
My Friend - Sat 5:24pm
“Thank you so much for sharing those words with me Mark. If you only knew how very badly I wrestled with staying focused on The Father instead of the evil in the world. Just being out in public around people is very trying to me. They are so rude and self centered. I value your words. Thank you so much for sharing them.”
Me - Sat 5:40pm
For me, it was the seeing of evil, how vast it is, how despicable it acts that brought me to God. That and all the words (truth) that come to me as I sleep. These words are a gift to me, which I write down for everyone. It was the seeing of evil that made me realize that if there was this much of it, and it was this horrible, then the opposite must too exist. This is why I don't care about how specifically evil will act. It is like the scorpion who wanted a ride on the frog’s back across the creek. It's in its nature to sting the frog even though both would drown. Evil has no choice. We do, though. We can work hard at focusing on the Kingdom and that is what we must focus on, or we get sucked into the fears that evil creates.
It is not that I ignore all the evil that is going on around the world. It is that I know it exists and I know there is no solution, no president, no brick and mortar building, no perversion that man spins that will or can solve evil. Only through us and our adherence to God's law will we will ever free ourselves from this evil we are immersed in. We know evil is evil, we need not examine every little detail or every act that it commits.
It has been said many times, many ways, and with many different words and languages, but it boils down to us, living the Kingdom, not quoting it. Our job is to live God, and through our living it, we will teach it. So, everyday we should converse with God, we should strive to live within the realm of God, and we should pick ourselves back up again when we fall. As long as we continue to pick ourselves up each time we fall, our journey goes on, and with every step, we live more and more within our essence, that is our Kingdom.
When you are out in the world, look at how it acts, not as someone greater than those who embrace evil, but as one who has chosen to climb above it, and who everyday of your life, fights to remain clear and free of the ties that bind others to all that is of the flesh. Have pity on those who are lost and who no longer struggle. Love them, as they are, who you were.
And, remember, Look At “Me”. ~ I Am - Wisdom
You should read some of the writings I was gifted to write. The words that I was given are deep and miraculous.
At least they were to me. ~ Mark

At The Precipice - Our Will, Will Be Done
As we stand here in our mightier than thou picture of ourselves, life as we know it is about to end. We have arrived at the precipice. We stand on the edge of oblivion; ready for super powers, politicians, religious factions, and evil people vying for power and control, to exert their will upon us.
This is a great story of your friend and you. I hope it helped. I so relate to this. Thank your for reminding me and showing Gods light. Praying for our world.
