AweSOME vs. AwFULL: What is Everything?

Thu, 08/06/2015 - 18:34 -- th@d0n

Interesting question, huh?

Notice how awesome and awful require "awe" to say,

which is a trait that God gave us to appreciate his awfully awesome creation and how it operates.

Hmm, go figure.

To me, some awe is the awesome awe,

because it gives me the inspiration and motivation I need to achieve what I was put here to achieve.

This moderate awe keeps me under control and in it, too,

so that I'm still able to do what I need to do.

Now, me being full of awe sure does make things seem awful,

because i lose all sense of hope and perspective when times get rough

because I forget to have that God-given control to see it through.

Everyhting, whether rewarding or challenging, often tests how well we manage our sense of awe.

Some awe makes us see trying times as challenges to be overcome; full awe makes us see trying times as the end of the world to be overcome by.

Some awe draws us toward oopportunities out of confidence; full awe repels us from opportunities out of fear.

Reflect on all the trying times you've been through...

Realize that you've been through those trying times successfully because you're here now, even stronger and wiser than ever...

Now, also realize the sensation you have going through you right now, that awesome sense of some awe, because you have a renewed sense of faith and confidence to face whatever comes your way...

Now, you know the answer to my poem title!

Aw man, did I just write that? That's even more proof that everything is awesome!!!
