This October, has been about CHOICES… and I have only just begun to understand my own personal WHY of each of my CHOICES and the power of Introspection into WHY.
When you QUESTION every.thing… INTERNALLY… you are led to answers… that make sense to YOU. I have followed this process… unknowingly… yet, with super results. To be honest with you, one of the greatest PARADOXES for living this gift today, is the FACT that my parents separated when I was ALL of 4 years and 11+ months… ha ha. But, at the time, in the circumstances, most often, they were dealing with their CHOICES and I was growing up and so, took a lot of independent decisions then… which I can thank for NOW! Luckily, there are no memories or stories about my parents raising their hands on each other… Amen to that.
So, I grew up, making choices, taking decisions and “Jesus is watching you and watching over you” & “I know, because Jesus wants it”. I never questioned the process… because I never needed to… it was something I learnt early and stayed with me… I grew up… and in 1999 at the age of 22, I met “The Bible”… and began to meet Jesus as the world knew him… through the Bible!
I got to know more details of HisStory… and the many people… who followed him… and the many lives that have USED his NAME to get more PEOPLE to FOLLOW #THEM! He is the KIND of PERSON… everyone wants to BE… but NO ONE is willing to make the kind of CHOICES he MADE! The Jesus, they spoke of… the Jesus of the BIBLE… is a LEADER by EXAMPLE… He spoke … what HE KNEW… he spoke in PARABLES because, it was never about HIM… it was ABOUT… “Our Father in Heaven”… He spoke about “A Relationship” with the FATHER… He put the SPOT.LiGhT… on the HOLY SPIRIT… HE ONLY TAUGHT FROM WHAT HE KNEW… and HE knew… “Our Father” and “Holy Spirit”… He led the THOUGHT revolution… He FOLLOWED and FLOWED… from a place of UNION.
The Blood on his hands… was his OWN!
In 2007, I bumped into one word, that described my WHOLE life… in One WORD… Gratitude! It grew into “Gratitude to ALL that is for ALL that is… in 2010. Gratitude became “SantaWorkshop #TokensOfGratitude in 2011”, Gratitude is US… my new “G’sUs”… my Thought, My Love, My Faith, My Power… Gratitude is WHO I became… and HOW I took my decisions. Gratitude became WHY … for #TokensOfLiGhT, for #TokensOfLove, for #TokensOfAbundance… well … Jesus made Gratitude REAL for ME… and I discovered… Jesus, through HIS LIFE… made LOVE real… “Love one another as I have Loved YOU”… became PERSONAL… and I understood then… that HE taught me… that GRATITUDE is the KEY… to LOVE… to LOVE one and other… as I (Jesus) have loved YOU (Deepanjali)… and that made SENSE and gave me DIRECTION!
And since… Gratitude… has been my Concept, Person & Personality. Has she held me back? Yes… a lot of times… from making choices, that she knew, I would later regret.. and so, we took care of the regret by rejecting. As I look back… each choice, was a SET BACK in that moment, broke me down, put people against me… today… REGRETS I HAVE A FEW… TOO FEW TO EVEN MENTION.
For ME… LOVE is REAL… because JESUS’ life is a TESTIMONY of God’s Eternal Love in the FLESH. I pray that someday… my Love for Gratitude… will make God’s Eternal Gratitude REAL too for the MANY MANY people… who KNOW Jesus of the BIBLE… may meet HIS vision and version of Gratitude… and make GOD Eternal Power… REAL! To have FAITH is key… Faith in Love and that Love’s way to Power is Gratitude!
