Lust

It can come quickly.

Without warning.

It is not predictable like the weather, but it comes as strong as a hurricane.

Quickly it fills my thoughts.

I must stop it before it fills my being.

Taking me places I do not want to go but I do want to go.

It can bring a storm that can wipe me out.

Bringing me to my knees again.

The same old spot I have been too many times before.

It knows my name and it calls me it’s slave.

I don’t know what will set it off, but Lust is it’s name.

I forget to fight as my Sword is forgotten.

I missed the escape plan the Lord had planned and blew through the warning signs He had set up.

I cry out, “O Lord have mercy on me, a sinner, in whose name I take shelter in!

Forgive me my trespasses and let me not sin against You!

Renew my hope and kindle my Spirit with in me to keep far from my enemy, lust.

Let me lust after your Word and knowing You!”

Life

Life.

When it comes, it comes.

It does not stop for anything.

Sleep, work, play.

It’s always moving in a direction.

Many believe life just happens and then it’s over.

For others, it’s hell.

For some, it’s heaven.

Life.

Its direction is in the hand of the Maker, but how you travel the direction of life is up to you.

It does not wait for anybody and it does not avoid anyone.

Many find life empty and let the direction it is headed take them to destruction.

Some find Life but are distracted by the things that bring a life to destruction.

They live the Life but are sick and tired.

Some find Life and live this Life to abundance.

Abundantly enjoying the Life the Maker has designed for maximum enjoyment and fulfillment.

This life leads to life which does not know destruction.
