my last post had a paragraph in it:
"THE ARMOR OF GOD I feel like the armor is really this buffer of thought and consciousness. WHICH I AM TOTALLY WORKING ON :) ephesians 6:13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand."
I read a sermon text (ephesians 6:10-13) today. our friend john macarthur says that love is a battlefield. oh wait. that was pat benatar. john macarthur says that the world is a battleground / the whole of the universe is a warfare. and he talks about good vs. evil and he relates that to getting comfortable and feeling all cool with where we are and forgetting the battle that rages on in the rest of the world.
I told an acquaintance today that I wanted to make a difference.
and I told my mom today that I was still shy about my religious endeavour.
WTF??
why am I so screwed up? why is is really easier to talk to the internet or to almost strangers than it is to talk to the woman who brought me here (physically, spiritually, emotionally)?
sorry. I think I jumped around a bit in this post but my point is that there are battles raging in people close to us as well as the rest of the world. I need to help armour everyone. really.
I think it all goes back to relationships... again. It's much easier to talk to an almost stranger because there is little to no accountability present. Talking freely to somebody close to you about things you'd like to accomplish automatically adds it in. I suppose we shouldn't be surprised since we serve a God who is in relationship with Himself.
