Because of Christ, I am far more loved, cherished and forgiven than I could ever imagine.
I understand the truth of the above statement. So why does my heart have this tendency to forget and sometimes even resist?
About Me
- Joy
- I am a woman with a high-spirited soul. I love God with all my heart, mind and soul. I love the pitter patter of rain and the city lights, the quaintness of old brick roads and buildings, and the fresh scent of a hiking trail and the silence of a book shelf. I have an eclectic taste in music ranging from the oddity of Sufjan Stevens to the sassiness of Taylor Swift. I know the difference between saffron and sage, among other things, and I almost know what tumeric is. I believe in the contagiousness of joy and the basic sweetness of life. Nice things often happen to me - answered prayers, flowers from friends, unexpected phone calls from far away friends, the discovery of delectable desert shops, sweet cards and packages in the mail, and laughter till your tummy hurts. Some things I have but don't use as much as I maybe should are markers and crayons, a passport, a somewhat "perfect pitch", a slip-'n-slide, a camera and common sense. I have a big God who loves me, a beagle/french bull dog mix named Georgie who drives me up the wall yet whom I adore at the same time, and three things I prize: warmth, grace and brains.

Because we're human and are constantly trying to resist. It's one of our major design flaws, I think.
Speaking for myself, a tendency to be narcissistic can take me out of the discipline of spirituality. Though I'm blessed to have never forgotten to whom, to what, and why I pray.
Such a lovely post I'm sure many can identify with... I know I can.
l,
I think that God's intentions for our "design" was to be flawless. However, due to the "fall" in the Genesis, account, we're always going to be imperfect, fallen, human beings - until we reach eternity.
nosthegametoo,
Thanks for dropping by my corner. :) I agree. We all have narcissistic tendencies and because of this we tend to forget what is really important. I'd be interested in discussing what your take is on "the discipline of spirituality".
it's just me,
too true sista girlfriend, too true.
I'd say because we're human, but that response was already stolen!
So this timeI'll say it's because we need a challenge and something to overcome.
