i have been thinking a lot lately about how everything relates to everything else... its quite fascinating. I was helping my dad stain the deck and we were talking. at one point he was explaining how frustrated he was that this (staining the deck) was a never ending battle, every year or 2 years it has to be done. And you just can go out and stain, you have to scrub the deck and clean out all the little cracks, than you have to use deck cleaner, wait for that to dry and then you can stain the deck. our deck is pretty big... it took 3 of us working together a little over 2 hrs! so it was a lot of work, took mot of the day.
Anyway, the comment made me think of other aspects of life and how we have to keep up with them every year/month/day/hour/minute... life itself is a never ending battle. WE have bills to pay, clothes to clean, food to prepare... there is an endless cycle of things we do, some things we just get used to others we view as hinderances.
I think the most imortant battle though is one that is most over looked, and that would be the battle for your love. i believe most people do not know what love really means. there are advertisements telling people, there are strangers in bars telling people, there are abusive parents/husbands/wives tell people their version of what love is. this world is so crazy and mixed up, a lot of people truely do not know real God love. they do no undestand the importance of caring for others and loving God. Because they have never been shown. I think that falls on us Jesus lovers, true Christ followers to ooze Christs love to everyone in the world around us.
Wow, i really got off track here... i was talking about battles... the battle for ones soul is minute by minute, second by second fight for ones affections and focus. Who is going to win? well here is what an old indian chief once said about the subject:
"It's like having two dogs living in you, one good pulling me toward God and one bad pulling me away from God, continuously fighting each other.
Which dog wins the fight?
Old Indian Chief: Whichever one you feed the most.
*Which dog are you feeding?
