The new year approaches. The time to begin reflecting right?
I have grown in my relationship with Christ despite my numerous short falls. Now if I can continue that growth to stand bold at all times and all situations. Or is that impossible?
I like the random blog arrows at the top. There are lots of people in the world. Lots of individual lives being lived.
I actually ran across some friend's blog today. Well more of a distant friend. We do not keep in contact in that degree. Someone could even say we are really associates. Well, to the point; I read through my friend's blog. What I read sadden me. No tears, but my eyes slightly watered up for a mere second and returned to normal without a beat. Maybe at the beginning of the year I would have actually cried. But remember I have grown as I said before so it is a good thing.
Well I read the blog and reality set in once again.
The reality is following Christ is not easy at all times. Each person goes through their individual struggles in their journey. Each person feels as if they have the world on their shoulders. Each person feels as if they are alone in the struggle. I am not sure if I ever had the thought if I was alone or not. I do know that despite my struggles I have this inner peace for some reason that I am unable to explain. Not all those who believe and have accepted Christ obtain and or reassured by this inner peace given.
We try to replace/replicate this inner peace a lot of times with what only satisfy temporally. Its sad and it sucks.
