OUT OF BOUNDS

Life can be such a strange existence at times. Boring is not a way of dwelling that some enjoy.

Yet, we hardly can rejoice if we strive for partying and then it carries with it some terrible consequences. That can be the hard part to always appreciate.

When things plod along and our passion's end up being flatlined it is so easy to crave some distraction. There is nothing wrong with diversion.

Providing it doesn't corrupt in a way that ends up making us other than abiding the path of what God desires. Which can happen way to easy.

I've recently become privy to some information about this one person. It has to do with seeing this person slowly decay in values to the point of making very serious errors in decisions.

I've already see that this person is on a collision course with disaster. But this person in no way is going to change acting the same way.

Eventually there will be consequences. And sadly others will be affected by them. It will be the kind that brings some very painful memories.

The whole time, I have no alter from my path of behavior. I still follow the same journey I always have.

It isn't necessarily one that is filled with excitement, but it is one that leaves me able to sleep each night and not feel those pangs of guilt gnawing at my insides. That for me is worth the long hours of sameness.

However appealing the path of indulgence appears or draws, when you violate some trust or obedience in terms of power, it will never end in good things. There will always end with sad moments and tears.

To follow the Lord is to accept his will. That will include moments when on walks in shadows. But not to worship the shadows.

Therein lies the problem. Some walk those shadows to hide their sins. It never really works and sooner or later you do have to come out into the light.

When you the dirt will cling to you from the shadows. It doesn't go away either. Only te blood of Christ can wash it away.

And that only happens with faith. Which often evaporates when one loves the shadows. To sad is the quest for light where you only find yourself lost in darkness. Such moments never lead to joy, just heartache.
