Song: Happy by John P. Kee
I’m sure almost everyone is aware of the sandbox battle between the POTUS and the SL of North Korea. Personally, I think it’s very rude of these guys to be so cavalier about something that affects neither of them. If either button is pushed, the pusher gets hustled off to safety and God help the rest of us……But this isn’t a political post, really.
Nuclear power results in complete and utter devastation and separation
Obviously death, but in running from it, separation.
I’ve got nuclear buttons; you probably do too. Those areas that the extremely stupid or extremely innocent dare trod upon. They’re mini buttons and usually cause division and separation for long periods of time. It maybe physical, but I’ve learned it’s usually psychological.
For example; I got my second boyfriend around 16 and my mom had already defied our relationship by confronting me about things I had written in my diary. PSA: diaries are private, personal and probably full of hopes and dreams not actualities. So we already were coming to the playground with trust issues. By this time she was completely divorced and had settled those glasses of “humph” on her view of men. My glasses were still rosy with streaks of hearts and cupids floating around. I wasn’t aware of buttons at the time, but she pushed one of my first ones of distrust. She passed on this nugget of wisdom that my boyfriend would leave me if I didn’t do my hair. I wore my hair in a very neat, completely real, ponytail. There simply wasn’t time for anything else. Please know we had been battling since middle school about the kind of daughter she wanted and the kind of girl I was, so….I kept that rat dog till 21 and she launched a missile that exploded all trust in the area of men between us. I’ve got more stories and I had more buttons than a sewing factory; as I’m sure you do.
What buttons are the enemy pushing to keep you away from God? Maybe like me it’s the trust button. Maybe you’re engaged in a tit tat wrong game? You know, where we get caught in the “if God is Good then…., or if He loved you then…”. Don’t play those games, you will always lose. I used to until I realized in this equation of eternity and life, I am always the variable..Always!
Ask God to show you your buttons so you can snip that red cord and live easier.
