BALANCE


LOVE, WORK, PLAY, PEOPLE, MAINTAINENCE, SPIRIT, PRAYER, MEDITATION... Why do we get off balance so easily? Is it so difficult to juggle and balance everything? Or is there one thing that can be off balance and just throw all the others off as well? Is there one think that we can maintain, concentrate on, nurture, and then all the other things fall perfectly into balance as a result? I think so. Why then is it still so difficult? I'll tell you why, because that one thing that can make everything else easy.... is the one thing that the adversary attacks most. THAT IS OUR FAITH/CONNECTION WITH GOD. If the adversary can weaken our faith, and influence us to lose contact with God, then everything else crumbles too. If we lose faith that God will really help us, or that we don't feel worthey of his help, we become in despair. And its just downhill from there, unless we can shake ourselves out of it, out of the thick, dark, hopelessness, and REMEMBER WHO WE ARE, and humble ourselves, because we know that we need God, we need Jesus, They do love us, we are going to be ok, and the future is bright, and we do have faith. We can have BALANCE because we have faith in God, and he knows our hearts, desires, pains, joys... and he is aware, he is God. Alpha and Omega. And we depend on him, he is more than capable, he is loving. Where are our hearts? Are they turned to Him? Are we looking to the one fixed Being who can organize and balance our lives? I hope that never again will i lose sight of Him, or lose faith, because He is the one stationery and guiding force in my life.... and will always be.

  1. Hey there, Aftan! I'm so glad you posted this. It really inspired me today. So, thanks for that. Hey, we should get together and catch up sometime since we only live about an hour away from each other.

  2. Hi Aftan! Isn't the Gospel amazing? We are so blessed to have such a loving Heavenly Father who knows are very needs, wants, and desires. His greatest desire for us is to reach our ultimate happiness in this life and become like Him. I've always found it very comforting knowing that He is always there for us just waiting for us to come to Him for anything and everything. He wants to bless us, if we but ask Him. I can't imagine life without this great knowledge and witness, nor do I ever want too! Thanks for your awesome example and for your great influence.. You are truly one of a kind.
