Lately I feel as if there has been a tug of war going on around me...an emotional tug of war...a spiritual tug of war...or perhaps, just a war. I find myself lately actually considering giving in on some of my values - the values I am trying to live my life by everyday - for stupid reasons. I recently found myself considering pushing one of my most important values to the wayside - for the sake of something that truly would not be worth it in the end. I found myself making excuses for why it would be okay - for how it would work out okay - starting to convince myself it would be. I knew I was making excuses, but I was starting to anyway. Then this morning just after a quick prayer (where I was thinking God wouldnt really be paying close attention --- dont underestimate God by the way) He reminded me of what I truly want, not what is temporarily distracting me - that would be leaving me wanting later or perhaps leaving me a crumpled up piece of what would be left of me.
God won that tug of war --with myself -- with the "dark" side -- with Satan
Point for God
