Current mood: blah
Category: Religion and Philosophy
Are you a slot machine, God, my lever to pull for sweet treats and happy days? Do I trust you? Do I know you at all? You're a stranger, a mysterious stranger, whom I sometimes fear and at other times loathe. At times I am thankful, and I adore you like a wide-eyed child; but sometimes I seem to love the gift more than the giver. As soon as the gift is old or used up, I fall into confusion and mistrust; and instead of you, I seek material gain and worldly comfort. Even though I go to church and sing songs about my life being yours, I am obsessed with myself. Hardly a minute passes when I don't complain or worry about my life. How can I profess to believe what my actions deny? And yet I sincerely want all that you haev for me - the joy and the pain of carrying your cross. Pray Mark 9:24 (NIV): "I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!" Amen.
-Meditation Moment: Ephesians 4:11-16, DevoZine
