Growing while blind... The onorthodox paths the Lord takes...

Like the blind men in the Bible, we too are blind. while their ailment was physical, ours could be spiritual, mental, emotional, or social. We walk, talk, and live life: all while blind. We don't notice it, or even when we do, we pay it no mind, hoping that it will go away. under the rug it goes, right?? Wrong... Our blindness will hurt others, guaranteed. It could be anything we do, or don't do that can affect the way we walk our blind path. Even when the Lord is there for us, we don't achknowledge him because He didn't take the path we wanted him to take.

Faith Without Works: Understood

We all have faith in God, or some higher power, but we don't realize what has to be done on our end for our faith to be understood by ourselves. Faith without a goal, a positive destination, a finish line to work towards is not going to work. We all need something to attain, something you strive for so that our faith doesn't waver. If we say we have no problems, how can God manifest Himself through our faith. It is in our trials that He is made known, through our difficulties that his power is magnified. We must understand that our faith in God to help us towards our goal is alive!

I hate condesendence!!!!

The fact that some people can just come out and say that you will never make it bothers and tears me to no extent. Someone in their wrong mind said it to me and I will never forget it. My drive, my determination, my goal is to prove them wrong. I am now a man with more than just a goal...

I am a man who will take condesendence by the balls and obliterate it....

Ichabod, I get it now.....

We all wonder the same question, "Where has the glory gone?" The way I look at it, it isn't that the glory has gone anywhere, we just neglect to look at it. Maybe we're doing something we aren't supposed to, or thinking things that push the glory from us. as humans, we can't help it. People  get pushed away every day. God sticks around because He knows we can't do better on our own. We pray, get up, and sin again. We just have to hope that the glory doesn't depart from us as well.........

Daddy, pick me up......

It has always said in the Bible that we should be as children to enter the kingdom. Actually, I never really got it until recently. As adults, when we go astray and do something wrong, we attempt to hid our transgressions from others through lying or shifting blame. We never really take blame for what we did unless we are cornered, pinned down, or otherwise forced to admit to our faults. We don't do what God has simply asked us to do: reach up to Him, like a child would do to his father. We don't want to behave like little children because we think we are too grown, but we make mistakes the same way a child would. We trip and fall, scrape our hands and knees, and cry out for help.  All this goes on and still we are stubborn.
