Balance… I have been thinking a lot lately about how everything requires a balance between two things. Anything from balancing work and school to politics and how most people are balanced somewhere in the middle of democrat and republican. However, on my drive home last night it occurred to me that it is not about balance at all, it's more like fusion, like a mixture. Balancing makes it seem like it's spread out, I picture a scale with objects on to opposite ends. But it seems in all instances that two opposites go hand in hand, they are closer, like a fusion of all factors rather than a separate balance. There isn't anything in this world that is not influenced in some way by something else. So I propose that life is like a chemistry experiment. You need to get precisely the right percentage of each element in your life and mix it and fuse it together to create the proper reaction and mixture. Otherwise, we all know what happens with baking soda and vinegar…. KABOOM!!
What I am getting at here is what we talked about last night at Ember… justice. It's one thing to do justice for the sake of doing it, but it's another to do it with a pure heart that is doing it for God. I think of that song, don't know what it's called but they play it on Air1. One of the lines is "Faith without works is dead," but it goes the other way too, works without faith is dead or vain or whatever you want to call it. It goes both ways, we need a fusion of faith and works in order for us to follow God's call in our lives. Otherwise, each is meaningless. We need to find the correct amount of each in our lives and mix it together in for optimal results. That's all I know. God bless! ***
***Ok I never say that (God bless) because I think it has become an overused, somewhat clique saying, but in this case, I really do hope that God blesses your day today or at least that he may open your eyes to see the blessings he has given to you.
