Again and again i struggle with my shortcomings my strength my soul weary of this i have to face the pain of my fault within these tests these trials the marks i miss what do i gain what is the benefit of self-indulgence the darkness reveals itself i must commit to absolving it my fault my weakness torments myself why should i sacrifice my dignity the purpose of these trials holds peace for those that seek it the secrets of wisdom truth and life to this one must look what does it profit a man to release his will to that which tries this soul a test a trial a blessing in disguise offered to all that ask in time it shall be revealed beyond that which is seen beyond a man’s understanding ~ *Strongarm*About me?! well, I like rock climbing, skiing, snowboarding, racing cars, cage fighting, surfing, competitive eating, but I never do any of that stuff. My heart belongs to the Lord! All of my efforts are dedicated to Him who saved me from a life of emptiness, from a road that lead to nowhere!I re-dedicated my life back to Christ and HE has shaken every alter that I've made to the things of this world. Those alters where I laid myself, crumbled when tested! I fell and landed on solid rock, THE ROCK JESUS CHRIST!He rocked my world and gave me a new foundation to live in, a new path to walk, and the Holy Spirit to guide me and discipline me.I advice everyone who reads this to not forsake true Godly fellowship. It will build us up with spiritual strength that will produce patience, peace, and endurance. All of this has been given to me through the undeserving mercy that the Lord has gives to all. ALL PRAISE AND GLORY TO HIM!!!"The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation. He is my stronghold, my refuge and my savior from violent men you save me.I call to the LORD, who is worthy of praise, and I am saved from my enemies.The waves of death swirled about me; the torrents of destruction overwhelmed me.The cords of the grave coiled around me; the snares of death confronted me.In my distress I called to the LORD; I called out to my God. From his temple he heard my voice; my cry came to his ears. 2 Samuel 22:2-7 -This verse is very important to me. It encourages me through the toughest times. It also best describes me; a constant spiritual war that leaves me with only one option: seek my Lord.Because God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8 “He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed.” 1 Peter 2:24 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that WHOEVER believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life" John 3:16
