“God overcomes the order of nature wherever He wills. Likewise, he who wants to bear the Cross of Christ overcomes his own nature.” – Joseph the Hesychast
I am continually in a death struggle. My soul yearns for the Light that God has revealed to my by His grace. His Truth. His Being.
Yet, as if hand in hand, every lust, every desire that despises God as my enemy screams in my ear. A blood curdling moan that He is a liar. That He has deceived me.
To walk in His light. To be in Him. To start the trek toward Heaven. I have to choose.
