Spilt Milk.

I often find myself wondering whether she still feels the same way I do. Although, if I knew the answer to this question it would make little or no change, so I don't know why I'm left wondering this silly question. A probable explanation is that I miss her and wish for a quicker remedy, one that includes her and dismisses any other possibility. Another explanation is that I miss her and want to know that I'm not alone in this painful form of agony, and that she's right there beside me in trying to press on to the future apart from one another. Maybe it's because in both explanations, she's still with me in some way. Unfortunately this hopeless romantic type of thinking winds up getting nobody anywhere. Don't cry over spilled milk. God's already sorting all of this out. Just wait. Wait for Dad to either clean up the milk that's been poured out on the counter or pick up the mess and replenish the glass with new milk entirely.

Personal Statement.

I don't have enough faith to be an Atheist and there's just too much evidence of God's existence for me to sit on the fence by being an Agnostic who remains utterly indecisive on such an important matter.

Proper Desire.

If we were able to rid ourselves of our desire for earthly things, we would then be able to fully attach ourselves to Christ with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength. If we kill and do away with our earthy desires, we will have the absolute freedom to experience indefinite peace and joy on earth and have the capacity to concentrate a great amount of our thoughts on our innermost being. We might actually begin to truly renew our minds.

If only we weren't so preoccupied with gratifying our own desires and too concerned with a world full of passing things, then we would have more than just a piece of Godliness this side of heaven; perhaps multiple pieces, or even the whole puzzle!

What do you desire most? Will it pass away after you obtain it? Will you want something more after you have it? Will it satisfy?

Strive to have a proper desire for God; be content, and seek nothing else.
