you are your enemy

May 29, 2006

i don’t understand why people seek for world peace and couldn’t even give time to be at peace with their inner selves. i am aware that each individual has its own battle with the things around them but why can’t people raise the white flag to their own enemy first? i acknowledge the fact that i was once a teenager, too and had 200% angst against the world. it was a blessing for me to realise that i was battling over my self alone and blaming others and the world was my just escape to feel bitter and not facing my true enemy. i could have raised the white flag sooner. ( i eventually did-good thing!) i look back to my teenage self “it wasn’t that bad. i raised the flag just 2 seconds before i’ve killed my self with hatred.) young people long before amoebas evolved into hippie alligators are struggling with personal angst and history hasn’t change a bit about that. reading through open journals online of those boys and girls who cried a river and drowned the whole world is just a mere fact that teenage life crisis hasn’t changed. well history can never change. it only repeats itself; but People can. i hope people can do something about world peace. i still have faith in mankind. heh.

 

faith- the substance of things hoped for; the evidence of things not seen.

 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.-

The Bible reference you quoted is actually from 1 Corinthians 13 (just after the famous passage about Love from Apostle Paul):

1 Corinthians 13:11-12 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

It speaks of growing in maturity and love into the perfect image of Jesus Christ. That our motives must be pure, innocent and centered on Christ. It is not really the actions of charity that will change the world, it is Christ through us and our actions that will change the world.

For we know only in part, but God knows all things. He is able to bless even our well-intentioned mistakes if we do it out of love and faith in Him. However without God's blessing and empowerment, even our greatest efforts will not prevent things from becoming an unmitigated disaster.

Here is another verse from 1 Corinthians 1:25 that illustrates this principle: For the foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's strength.

Remember, where man cannot, only God can, but He chooses to use us to fulfill all His purposes on Earth and even in Heaven, if we surrender our mind, heart and bodies as willing vessels.
