I know a lot about a couple things and next-to-nothing about
most everything else.
I know what you mean about being bitten and shy. Once you get
burned a little you are more wary of fire and it annoys you when people wave it
around light-heartedly. Its nature, and wounds need time to heal, but we are
mighty and we can overcome.
Don’t fear those men in their suits on their high-horses
making claims on ancient texts that they could never hope to understand.
Yours
is not to fear them or fight them or even to forget them, yours is to get up
and move. Move forward to blaze a path that no fanatic could have ever dreamed
was possible. This won’t prove them wrong and this won’t prove you right. This
will bring light to the darkness that surrounds the lives of those poor souls
who have never felt the love of a friend. Don’t close your heart to the world
just because some religious highbrows scorched you with their misguided plans. Find
an infinite source to renew your strength and push on. Find that infinite
source to renew your love and be the hands and feet of the body of love that
this world needs.
Sometimes we hurt so much…
We just want to sit down against our broken walls and give
up…
But after we’ve cried a bit and hit on the ground for a
while we remember where we’ve came from, what we’ve been through, and where we
are going.
There is no need to curl up and give up. Plenty of people
are doing that already, curling up around their entertainments and
self-medications. There is no need for more couch-potatoes or fantastically
confused followers. There is no need for more men and women with hate in their
hearts.
There is a need for you, to love, to give, and to help up
those who have fallen down, for then we can rise together and become strong.
You are needed, and we are empowered. Don’t let anything but
God stand before us.
Will you join me, Tim Piotrowicz...
Spot on, Tim! The struggle i find most difficult to deal with is not in fact other people or even the devil attacking my walls - when inspecting a newly discovered "hole" l would often discover that I inflicted the damage myself.......the evil we do not want to do, we keep on doing.......fixing the walls are easy but keeping them fixed is the tough part. And my frustration with myself is also that I should by now be attacking strongholds of darkness and freeing prisoners of sin yet I cannot save others if some chains still keep me bound........great blog by the way.....I need to start one soon......:)
ReplyDeleteInspired.
ReplyDeleteTeacher, I can not all deep understand your writing. But a little, I think the life is a fighting with ourself.
ReplyDeleteThat's okay :) Thank you for trying. You are right, it is about fighting with ourselves, trying to motivate ourselves to move forward.
