How deep is your love?

Who do I prefer,you may ask, the Bee Gee's, or Take That? Well I guess thats pretty irrelevant really, as thats not my point...regardless of who sang the lyrics, in all seriousness, I ask you, how deep is your love? How deep is your belief? How deep is your Faith?

'What matters is not the idea a man holds, but the depth at which he holds it' ~Ezra Pound

This struck me....quite hard actually, its fairly easy, in todays society of 'freedom of speech and equality' to stand and shout aloud that one is christian, that one believes in Jesus, that one loves God...but when a person merely keeps hold of these thought with the minimal of grip with their fingers, they mean nothing, they are words, empty words with no actions to follow, yet when a person grasps hold of these thoughts, with eager outstretched arms, when a person pulls these thoughts towards them, keeps them tight against their heart, protects them...it is then that things will happen, it is then that one will grow, it is then that life will change, for these are not empty words, these are words jam packed with meaning, with feeling, with emotions, with believing...these are words jam packed with faith

And it is by this faith, that I rise in the morning, that I get through the day, it is by this faith that life goes on

So like I said, how deep is your love? Dont clutch at these things softly, open your heart and reach out, hold tight, with everything you have got

Amen <3

Go in peace, for the Lord is with you, always and forever

The answers...

It turns out, I have so many questions....yet none of the answers How is it that.....? I have the luxury of living in the amazing, modern time of now, yet I dare to be bored? I can complain about feeling fat, because I eat too much, yet others are starving so there children can be fed? I moan about being unhealthy, yet am too lazy to exercise, when there are people out there who have to walk miles just to fetch some water? I get annoyed with myself for turning my alarm off, staying in bed and wasting the day, when there are people out there who don't have the luxury of a bed in the first place? I get wound up about being 'skint' when in reality, I'm so much richer than a massive proportion of the world? I get annoyed when my housemates don't keep things tidy the way I would like, when I'm fortunate enough to be in a house full stop? I have the ability to phone, text, write or even Skype people who I cannot be with at the moment, yet still I wallo...

It's behind you...

It's behind you...isn't it?? Is our past ever really, our past? All the stuff, all the debris thats behind us, all the things we did, the words we said, the actions we never took, the mistakes we made, the regrets we have...are they ever really in our past, do we ever really recieve forgiveness, from others, from ourselves, from God???? In answer to the first one, well im not so sure, I mean we make a mistake, or we don't do what we should, and in an ideal world, we realise we got it wrong, we say we're sorry, and we mean it, and that is that, forgiveness is given and we move on...but in reality, how many times have you stood accused of something, when you can't see what was so wrong about it, or how many apologies have you muttered, because you had to, because you were told to, because it was 'the thing to do', how many apologies have you said, with real meaning, with real feeling, with real sorry attached.... From being little kids, we told, over and over ...

Perfection

The power of words combined with a persons perception and opinion of there own self worth, or lack of, is a strong thing... There are a lot of things I dislike about myself, a lot of things I'd like to change, willpower to change, being one of them....but then just because i know these things, just because I see these faults, doesn't make it any easier when someone else sees them... I guess, we all strive to our image of perfection, our own image of self, our own sense of 'enough', but really, will we ever feel that we're enough, will we eve feel that we've made it, that we're ok...how much of ourselves do we have to change...or eradicate, to create the us that we want, who is actually no longer us, but someone different.Its often stated, that you can't change a person, yet we try anyway, is this because we're so aware of our inablity to change ourselves, so we try to mould others instead??? I've got to be myself, because everyone else is taken.....
