New thought: Commandments

Oooo what a scary word. COMMANDMENTS. Don't we all hate that word?
Well I sure did until about three hours ago when I was singing It is Well with My Soul at church. It is well with my soul, it is well with my soul.
Now my theology might be as strong as pudding here I don't know. I just got this thought, and it may be true .It just hit me, like something sweet, like someone pumping more blood into my heart: It is well with my soul.
It is.
Not is should be.
Not it will be.
Not try harder to be.
It just is.
Because every word Jesus spoke was true, no matter how I feel. No matter what is going on around me that seems incredibly wrong and sad.
It is well with my soul.
Now, lest I come off as a total hard nosed person who is just shutting their eyes to suffering or feelings, I'm not.
But I got a glimpse of something today. Something that even now is vague and I can't find the way to tell it. But it was good. It was comforting. It was forever.
It is well with my soul.
This is what God is commanding of me. This is what all of His commandments point to: a healthy soul; a soul that is well, no matter what. Why do I fight that?
"As a man thinkith, so is he" (and a man-or danae-can change the way he/she thinks--PRAISE GOD.)
