Go Within
Some years ago, I signed up to receive daily Notes From The Universe. Yesterday I received the above. For those of you who give more weight to the words printed in red in many versions of The New Testament (supposedly words spoken by Jesus,) here are a few that I often quote: “The kingdom of heaven is within you.”
I quoted a line from an ole country song a couple of days ago that says, “I was looking for love in all the wrong places.” The extended quote from the song performed by Johnny Lee goes:
Another scripture I like to quote, this one from the Old Testament is: “Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart.” I submit to you that he/she already has, that he/she created each of us holy and whole. We have but to go within to discover our true treasure, our true heaven. Jesus again, “For where your treasure is there will your heart will be also.” The opposite is also true.
How could we miss treasure map directions so specific and clear? Jesus once told a woman that he met at a well, who like so many of us had spent a lifetime looking for love in all the wrong places, about a well within her that was designed to spring up unto eternal life. Sounds like the Spanish conquistadors legends of Eldorado or the Christians and others hope of a heaven above. But perhaps we and they got the directions a bit off and X really does mark the spot, cross my heart. Go within.
Your friend and fellow traveler,
