So many times in life we get tired of life and in that moment we let what makes life special slip away. Some people get hurt, other wonder where we went and still others pity us. We don't respond to any of that because we really need just a simple friendship love. Something that just takes us through until we can decide and see what is real or not. We don't purposely cause grief by what we do but we as humans use our shields and block those who love us.  When we get to the end of ourselves is often when we find what we are looking for.  God knew it was there the whole time.  He was just waiting for us to lose us and find Him.  I could sound holy here and say what is right just because I could to make myself look good but I have not always sought Him.  I have sought many things just because it seemed so like all I could do was fail him when I try to seek Him.  If we seek Him, He will be found.  He is always waiting to be found.  Many times we seem to have to sort through all the garbage to find the treasures.  Sometimes this garbage is self-inflicted but many times it is not.  Seek for Him as for hidden treasure and great will be your reward.  Don't give up.  Keep searching.  The wise men searched for a long time and found.  Find your treasure, open up your heart and you will be the one to be changed.

Journey On

Life is a journey all its own.  We may have many people that travel alongside us but when it comes right down to it, each of us make the journey according to our own decisions.  We often make decisions that makes our travel companions leave us and go another path or we move to another part of the path and find new companions to travel with.  Being a MAGOH is not an easy path.  It is often lonely because we have to make decisions that others do not understand or disagree with because they don't see the path from your perspective.  We often make the wrong decision and journey down the wrong path and we have to retrace our steps and go back down the right path.  Whatever the case may be, we never truly travel alone if we are 'a man after God's own heart'.  We may feel all alone but that it most likely when God is testing us to see if we really are a MAGOH.  Whenever you take a wrong route or fall down, don't give up. Get up or turn around and get back to where you knew it was right and start out again and do it quickly.  Sometimes we wander far away but that is when we need to run back to Jesus, repent and start down the path again towards Jesus. 
       Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:1-2
     Don't forget to keep your eyes fixed on Jesus.  He knows what we are going through and loves us even when we fail.  Press on and may you be a MAGOH.
