Life is a journey and there's never an end! I'm so goofy and get discouraged when things don't get any easier, but you know what? Life could be a *lot* harder!
I think that I should be farther along in my photography business. I think I should be much less selfish. I think I should be more mature. I think I should have a lot more faith, etc. etc. ect.
But we're called to "fight the good fight." Always. And fighting's *never* easy. We're called to see the Lord. We're called to pursue righteousness. To "work out our salvation". All things that are *still* happening. Present tense.
I get so impatient and think that things should be done and over. I've fought for a while, ok, now it should be enough. But life will *always* be a fight, and changing my perspective on it made things a lot more clear.
So. I guess I've got life all figured out. ;)
Seek the Lord.
Pursue righteousness and a pure heart.
Obey what He's telling you.
Fight the good fight. (always)
And love others.
The End =)
"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.... Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God."
~Matthew 5:6 and 8
and it's so easy, right? instructions are simple, but is fighting ever easy?
