Afflicted

There is only so much that I can do. The hardest part of life is watching the ones you love struggle, and to be a part of the cause of that struggle. We ourselves are always the problem. We cannot deny that we depend on forgiveness of each other and to grant forgiveness ourselves. We live upon grace to be our hope.

Life is complex, far deeper than our Bible maps out. We see the words of commandments, but the commandments are the blueprint, the do not show the details, the furniture, the dust underneath. Every day is a day to be disciplined by the Lord, our desires crushed, our energy depleted, our focus blurred, that God may crack the gravel of our lives, that he may come in to break away the pavement and cement our lives with Himself. It is in this that I know my life depends on how my prayer life is with God.
