From 4/6/16:
2 become 1...
Know that song? We talked about it at lunch after church the other day. We all laughed and reminisced about the Spice Girls. we discussed how we sang along without really knowing what we were saying to not just this song but so many others.
That phrase came up again today but it was in a different context. I was catching up on sermons from my home church and my pastor said, "the two need to become one." What was he taking about?
The two people that live inside every single one of us.
Each of us have 2 personalities living inside of us. One that responds to the spirit of the world and the other that responds to the Spirit of God. You might not agree with me or believe in God, but the truth is that there's no other explanation. The spirit of the world appeals to our temporal side, it craves adoration and instant gratification however, every human being has a longing for another world, an eternal world. All the various interpretations of the 'world to come' is proof of just this.
The real fight for a lot of us is the essential merging of the 2 spirits. It can only be done when God allows it and that is when you find contentment. In my case, God's spirit has to be stronger than the world's spirit and that's the only way I can be balanced. It doesn't make any earthly sense but then again when God is involved, nothing ever does...
On a completely unrelated note: Sometimes you just need to sit and allow music to wash over you. there is something very powerful about music. Here's someone I learned about recently. He has definitely helped me get through some tough days and I have never even met him.
