Romans 8:7 NIV Hostility’s impossibility There’s this inner drive that’s alive in life in which we find this fear of failing to be found as those pleased and impressed by what is this idea that we ourselves are impressive enough to deserve such pleasure ourselves. It’s indeed what drives nearly all that we all do in life. Granted, it’s one of the single greatest lies ever told. But still, it seems to matter not as rather the lie holds as life goes the same way it’s now gone for all time, just somehow in a decidedly scarier degree. Because the lie remains alive and yet nowadays it seems to drive not only us to our limits in search of any and all vanities but also the entirety of humanity closer and closer to the edge of insanity. And I think this is proven inside such a delusion that has inspired us to define insanity as the doing of the same thing over and over again whilst expecting different results every time we try. And indeed, this is an insane way to spend a life, doing always no...

Romans 8:6 NIV Life and peace What a piece to have of a promise to come in this life we live in the place we’ll lose all we love of what we’ll find was only barely a life that was only barely alive as eternity will soon prove both far better, far bigger, far longer and far fuller! Alas it seems so often that it’s almost impossible for us to imagine such a gift being given thanks to our standing inside what remains the one place in which we fight to live a life as best we can. And while that can be a good thing as doing our best is the least we can do, choosing to remain focused on the world while we do our best is the worst choice we could choose. Why? Because everything here is already gone. And life itself then, this one we’ve always known, it’s merely a matter of eternity’s inevitability waiting for us to catch up and realize that to be the truth. This is indeed why God remains so patient with us. It’s not because we deserve it as most days we make clear that we most certainly don’t...

Galatians 5:17 NIV The war within Seems it’s one won every once in a while and yet lost more times than we might imagine all while being completely ignored most often and worried about perhaps even less. And I suppose that’s just because we’ve become rather numb to the reality of it all. For anymore it seems that our society’s chosen to simply succumb to the downfall in which we all just do whatever feels good, looks right, sounds okay and hopefully then goes the same. We are truly a people who hope always for the best, and while this is a good thing I guess, truth is starting to show that hoping for better whilst not giving our best creates only a deepened contest between who we are and what more we may not even believe we can still be. For indeed, there’s this sad reality that’s befallen all of our humanity that’s found for us this general floundering, this flailing, this failing to find, force, fight or feel as if we even care to try. Rather here inside every day of this collective ...

Galatians 5:16 NIV The divergence Though long unseen and obviously unfelt by then most if not all who’ve walked this earth, there’s a truth to life that we’ve likely then never known and even possibly sought to ignore if not deny outright. And this truth is that there exist two paths walked in one life as is lived in this one place in which we all live one as is chosen every day between these two differing options. Now granted, that they’re both walked within the same place does seem as if to say that there’s at least some degree of similarity between them. But perhaps this assumption, albeit innocent at first, it’s one that only grows to become a difference between everything from doubt to belief and, because of that, even life and death. The sad news is that, again, this truth as to these two has long remained unseen and clearly unfelt by most here who still do as they’ve long done simply because such will always remain the easiest of all ways in which to live this life. But the prob...
