Quote:
What happened to my sunshine on a cloudy day?
You ever get to the point where you just can't carry on? I know you have, we all have. But the ironic thing is we have the choice to relieve ourselves of the horrendous burdens. We just...don't. And bit by bit, we struggle down the dusty path slowly staggering under the weight of our fears, temptations, pain, and troubles. Only until we experience the bittersweet taste of the dust, of our defeat. Only when our pride breaks do we ask for help. Only then do we cry out to God. Is it because of our pride, our unnatural hold onto things of this world that is not ours? You know the funny thing is I've always been taught to rejoice in strife. But I've never truly tried until now. And it's got to be one of the hardest things to do when you're blacking out in the middle of the ring.
The phrase, "Be careful what you wish for, it may come true"...it's like so much better put as "Be careful what you pray for, God's capable of anything". I prayed for a passion only for God. I don't know how willing I am to give up what I have in this world, things of the flesh. No matter how lovely they seem, how much I'll miss them, how much I already miss some things...they are of this world, and they must be swept away.
How do you carry on from your lowest point? The answer came to me right after I finished typing. You don't. But God does. And with that knowledge, I guess it's easy to see that I am able to praise my Father and boast about my weaknesses and imperfections. Because Christ's power is made and seen perfect through it all; through me.
This entry has been...well a self help entry. Kind of different. Certainly not saying it's been a complete remedy from my troubles, but one that gives me a kick in the face and slap on the back. Recognize the problem and grow from it my friends, recognize and grow.
Take my world apart
