Change is inevitable, but growth is a choice. This may just help me make up my mind.

The Ultimate Battle

I have a daily battle with God. Not with the elusive "all-knowing" being that no one can feel, hear or see, but the One who is ALWAYS there. The One who sits behind my eyes, curls up in my ears and who stands on my heart like a boulder.

Mostly we battle about the usual things - politics, religion, sex. But lately its been about me. Like, my soul, my joy, and my fears. The One seems to know what it is that I want, what it is that I search for like a moth in the night. And I try with all my stuburness and fortitude to ignore the truth that encircles me. But then it sits at my feet and I cannot ignore it any longer for I trip on it daily and it takes my feet right out from under me. Its only here when I'm on my knees that I admit that God has won one more battle. And that's what it is - a battle. A constant fight for what I feel is mine and what God knows is His.

And so the Ultimate Battle continues.

What a great post.

I'm reminded a wee bit of the comment made by CS Lewis (author of The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe and lots of other books) about his own conversion from atheism to Christianity. He said something like: "amiable agnostics talk about man's search for God. To me, as I then was, you may as well talk about the mouse's search for the cat".

I think God constantly chases us not the other way round. Psalm 139 sums it up - it's a psalm a person would hate if they were on the run from God and yet is hugely comforting if you're yearning to be found and held by him...

I know this if off topic but I'm looking into starting my own blog and was curious what all is needed to get setup? I'm assuming having a
blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I'm not very internet savvy so I'm not 100% positive. Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated. Kudos
