broken

why do i rely on myself?
if there is a problem. i will go and solve it.
if i can’t fix it, i’ll approach it again.
and again. and again.
until i am content with the outcome.
if i can’t fix it. then i’ll feel down and out.

thats how i am now. but just a year ago there were so many things i lifted up to God. problems i had no answers to. problems that challenged my mental limits. so why am i like this now? when did i change?

it is so easy to fall when your doing well. pride is such a huge trap. but in the end if your trying to fix too many things on your own God will find a way to show you your doing it wrong. he will find ways to break you down, and humble your heart.

F.R.O.G, a popular acronym for Fully Rely On God – is a lesson i am learning. And i think its a lesson i will continue to struggle with the rest of my life. But at least it’s a step in the right direction

when is it enough?

when is enough, enough.

in the Bible it teaches to turn the other cheek when hit, to offer your tunic when robbed. But also it says that we should take eye for an eye.

So which do we follow? How should we apply this to our lives?

If we follow the first, we run the risk of being taken advantage of. On the other hand, the latter choice is a bit extreme and doesn’t express any type of love at all.

So this is the question: Where is that fine balance?
How is love expressed through your actions?
