Unguarded

I love relationship, friendship and joy. I don't like competition, manipulation or jealousy. And so many of the time I find myself caught up in boat number 2...headed in a direction I don't want to go. "The spirit is willing but my flesh is weak"...My mind, my heart and my soul get caught up in anger and bitterness. It's not pretty and it's nowhere close to Heaven.

I'm holding tightly to  Philippians 4:7 "and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ." I must burry myself in scripture, guard myself with truth... I can always tell when I haven't been diligent in my quiet times or studies...when I haven't invested in the truth. It's a daily battle...it's a life of praise. When I let myself get lazy or get comfortable, I become unguarded.

Random spurts. Random thoughts.

I need You, Jesus. Today and everyday.
