Eclectic thoughts 2 months before turning 30
Give me the humility to lose graciously, and the grace to win humbly...cut away my competitive nature, and strip away my hypocrisy henceforth.
"I will sing, i will praise, even in my darkest hour, through the sorrow and the pain"(D Moen)...bad times, though the fig tree does not blossom, though I'm in the deepest pain, yet I must rejoice in You, just on the basis that You saved me suffices as a reason to rejoice, just on the basis that You're faithful even though I'm faithless.
According to Socratic wisdom, to think you know when you don't actually know, that's foolishness...and I must surely be a big fool by this definition. But there's one thing I know what I know, and that is You died for me, a recalcitrant sinner, on the cross.
I feel like I'm in the shadow of the valley of death - in "a job that slowly kills you, bruises that won't heal" (Radiohead). I need to breathe. Please help me breathe.
