WaxNotNeeded - An Imperfect Lie
“The
battlefield is in the mind”, commonly heard quoted from Charles Stanley and
Joyce Meyer.
It
has come to my realization that there are only two main categories of people, but
then we all get jumbled back together again. What are those two main categories?
That would be those who have accepted Jesus Christ as their personal savior and
those who haven’t. Sure when one turns their life over to Christ things about
them change (or should), but likewise aren’t there nonbelievers who are kind,
compassionate, extremely thoughtful of others and seek to do good? Sure. For as
it is noted in Romans “For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of
God” and though you may try to be perfect in your daily thoughts and actions,
at sometime you will fall again. However, the act of imperfection is not that the
topic at hand; it is rather the mental trick that is used against us when we
fall that is.
What
would that trick be? I am reminded of the phrase that Luna Lovegood spoke to
Harry Potter about Voldemort in The Order of The Phoenix , “Well if I were You-Know-Who, I'd want you
to feel cut off from everyone else. Because if it's just you alone you're not
as much of a threat.”
Simple
stated it is that nagging notion that when we think, do or feel something “bad”/imperfect
that we are an isolated – weird failure, that no one will understand, and henceforth
are alone in this life.
#1
As children of God, once you have accepted Jesus as your personal savior, the
Spirit of God (for reals) comes and resides in Your being. Henceforth, right
off the bat, you are not alone. You can ALWAYS talk to God (and He understands
you more than you understand yourself, trust).
#2
There is an estimated 7 billion people in the world, you mean to tell me that
you are the only person who has ever thought this thought, done this action or
felt this feeling? Highly not likely (ok let’s just say impossible really), so
know that you are not alone on a large human-network scale.
#3 Everyone
should (and if you don’t then feel free to reach out to me) have someone they can speak to, in a safe, nonjudgmental fashion. No, not everyone is going
to agree, but that is where common respect comes in – sometimes people just
need to be heard and not talked to.
So
rebuke the lie, YOU ARE NOT ALONE regardless of WHAT you are going through (as
this lie doesn’t just extend to behavioral fallings).
Dear
Heavenly Father,
We thank You for the truths You have given us and the wisdom You allow us to
reach, in Your time on Your accord. May we not get caught up in past, current
or future failings, but ever remembering that forgiveness is REAL and that we are
NEVER alone. May we be not a stumbling-block for others, but lead, guide and
uplift them towards/to You, for we wish no one to be forever “lost” and suffer
damnation. Strengthen us dear Lord, as trying times are ahead of us all. In the
name of Your son, Jesus Christ we pray ><>SiC <3
