NIRVANA - a state or place of perfect happiness and peace where there is freedom from all secular suffering and a renewed, intimate focus on a higher being. -- Early this Sunday morning I found myself meditating awfully hard at 4:02 am on one word. As I type this with tears flowing profusely down my face and Sam Smiths Nirvana playing in the background, I cant help but be humbled by your grace and your glory the past 452 days, Lord. You never promised it would be easy, just that itd make all the difference in the end if I chose to take the road less traveled. The last 452 days Ive fallen flat on my face (literally), cursed your name and cried more the past 5 days alone than I have the past 5 years combined. And like your Good Book predicted, you punished your child by taking away everything from my humble grasp; You distinctly gave me the free will to take what essentially was an entire year off from school in the middle of my college career, something I was fearful and stubborn to do even when I realized it was the best option at the time. Being the jealous God you are, you forced me to ultimately humble myself, remove the selfish entitlement I once thought was mine to have and YOURS to respect. But Im done with all this running. Im actually mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually tired. Ill give myself completely to you starting today, Jesus. This moment has caused a reaction resulting in a reattachment. Oh, you take me to Nirvana. I [know] this will last [because] youre here in my arms. Youve charged me, Myles J. Robinson, uniquely with one life mission since the age of five: to change the world and make disciples of all nations. Not only was I destined to go to UNC Chapel Hill, something you predetermined 21 years, 3 months and 7 days ago, but I now am beginning to see your world-wide plan for me to spread sMyles to each and every person I interact with on a daily basis. They ask me what I do and who I do it for. For so long, my answer never included you, even though Ive been writing mini sermons professing your glory in a red spiral Mead notebook since 1998. My father always instilled in me that my word was my bond and that without it, I have nothing. So, heres my promise to you, God: Ill do it. Whatever it is, Ill do it. Starting today. I give you public permission on every advanced digital media outlet I have, Lord, to take me to Nirvana each and every day for the rest of my life. I now know, trust and understand I was born to assist (James 1:2-4), worship you vertically (Proverbs 3:5-6) and serve others horizontally (Jeremiah 29:11). Thank you, Jesus. So much. Its been a long time coming but I finally made it, July 13, 2014 at 6:42 am, to the feet of your Throne. #Mylestones
