You,

“Solid as a Rock”

There is a constant thing that we find exhausting about this life we are living: the daily check-ups. As a patient of life, it is really up to you to say “I am unwell. I need a check-up. I need treatment.”

No one likes to believe that they are unwell. Many of us don’t particularly care for hospitals. Yet this is what we must put ourselves through every day. “Search me Father. I am unwell. Wipe my slate clean. Make a fresh start. Renew a right spirit.” Every day.

We cannot let our foundations give way to rot and decay. So it must become second nature. How awful it is for a human mind, accustomed to progress, to have to humble itself every day and say: “Not yet. I am not there yet.” Worse still is the realisation that we will not get there in this life, and we have very little control over getting there at all. The only thing you are doing is being conscious and consenting. Nothing is being given to you without your knowledge, nothing is getting taken from you without your agreement. But that is where much of your input ends.


The rest is a daily struggle of “more you Lord, less me.”
