There is good and evil, ways of behaving momentarily and ways or the practice of living life daily - what distinguishes those extremes - black/white, good/evil, right/wrong? Our hearts, physical attributes, for is it not simply a life sustaining mechanism within? and our souls which have been given us by Christ, is it the deciding factor on the two dilemmas, sides of the coin, light/dark? That is what I believe without a doubt however this is written to those with doubt claiming they do not believe in Christ, would they not gel the two sides - would not one be within the other with no distinction or recognition of the two actually being separate? The very fact that the world, the unbelievers, recognize good and evil presents indisputable evidence that God is real to them as is satan. To believe in one without the other holds no place for argument. So my thought is we as Christians need to be ever present and outwardly loving towards those on the outside for they do believe it's just fear of leaving their place in line, their slot they have worked so hard to fill, vanity of seeming weak that keeps them isolating themselves from us, laughing at our decision to follow God, yet the truth is strength, release from independence upon themselves. This self exalting independence is by definition, true weakness, sure death and life without vision of eternity.

My view of my little world has recently been uprooted, rearranged with words said that suddenly cleared my view and revealed what really was and has been, yet veiled under layers of deceit and smiles. Seems as though my heart has been torn open and all poured out leaving me with empty space to fill quickly before resentment and bitterness has time to take root. Forgiveness comes easier when looking beyond the present darkness into their past that formed their moral lines although crooked, yet seemingly straight and narrow to them. The deceit is the part that I hurt over for I have always taught my daughter that it is not the one that outwardly shows their darkness through their words and actions but the ones to run from, the ones to avoid are those that do so in the name of Jesus. They are to be pitied, prayed for and aware of, yet avoided. In realizing that one of this nature is so closely related has somewhat broken my spirit. But I refuse to allow the enemy to take me down that path for then where will the prayer, strength and guidance come through if all in the picture has given up? So I ask God to pick me up, brush my hurt aside and armor me with His strength as He hears my constant prayers for this lost sheep.
