Fighting Hard

5/13/2022

 
You got to die to live.
You to lay down to run.
Surrender to find victory.
And lose to gain eternity.

That's what Jesus says.
That's what I have to do.

You got to put down to pick up.
You got to deny self to acknowledge truth.
Follow better to lead well.
Submit to find freedom.

That's what Jesus says.
That's what I will do.

You got to serve to succeed.
You got to be humble to gain approval.
Play the fool to be wise.
Accept weakness to put on strength.

That's what our Savior says.
That's what His servants do.

Playing Outside the Sand Box

5/6/2022

 
I was out running. Pounding the sand, and watching the wind wipe away any evidence I'd ever been there.
Footprints. Paw prints. Lizard trails. The desert reclaims them all. Given enough time, the desert hides ruins of civilizations, fills in ravines, and reroutes rivers. The sands of time always win. Almost.
In heaven, there are things that outlast the sands of time. God's glory and kingdom. The souls of mankind. Our relationship with God. Our labors of love and service.
And I wonder, are we investing our lives in those things?
Are we spending our lives on things that will matter forever?
Are we playing outside the sandbox?
