    Irony

    Life is an irony. We are complex creatures capable of fluid feelings. We can be happy and then sad within just a matter of seconds. We can feel content and then have cravings that seem to possess us just because our eyes see something we desire. One minute we are focused and the next we are daydreaming.

    How do we stay on track? How do we make everyday of our lives count for eternity?

    We have to come to the reality that the only way our lives can have meaning or explanation is to find it in something or should I say, someone bigger than us. With  God this life can be confusing but without  Him  it is  a nightmare. I have to constantly remind myself to keep my eyes on Jesus. I have to bring every thought unto the obedience of Christ. This is all well and good but some days it is more difficult than others. Can you relate?

    Oh, can I ever. I know exactly what you're talking about! I hate it. I wish there was some kind of little button you could push that would make you instantly Christlike instead of constantly bringing your thoughts and desires of your heart back into line with Christ. Sometimes, constantly trying to be like Jesus is so exhausting and there are times when I think, "I'm tired. I'll take a break today, just a little vacation from constantly crucifying my flesh." but I know that the moment I stop is the moment I've given the devil victory in my life. I can't wait to get to Heaven!!!

    I sure can relate. More to the first paragraph rather than the last unfortunately. And I think women are way more prone to this than men are. But none the less yes, what a weakness of ours. The other day someone quoted, "taking every thought captive into the obedience of Christ" and that just rang in my ears. I hope it doesn't stop ringing. It was exactly what I needed and I need it more every single day. I think the more we go on the more we need it because the more Satan ups his game even harder on us. Living in this flesh - life - definitely is irony...
