Armor of Light

Frowning as I see negative posts in facebook, and uplifted upon reading positive material. Seeing with real-life eyes however presents with doubt, even with all the good quotes out there, realizing that life is in a precarious state and the house of cards is about to crumble. Depression shows up, inviting the tossed mind towards it, but the will fights back very hard. In the end, something external provided the repulsive force away from its claws. I don't mean external chemicals here that have transient effect, but abstract things that don't exclude the supernatural. And why not mention God here, largely denied by many because they cannot explain him, but why not? We can't fully understand God with our finite minds. Sorry folks, God exists, believe him or not. He is the light of the world, lux mundi!

Why not ask his help? Prayer is very powerful even when you say it's useless. Don't be affected by those who see all these as hypocrisy, although many are guilty. And if you fall, it's not hypocrisy but weakness that's made strong by God's mercy and love. The following depicts a glimpse of what really happens in every mass, celebrated daily anywhere in the world. Just open your eyes, heart and mind.

What you see may not be what it seems; what you don't see is not necessarily false. Don't reinvent the wheel, and don't repeat yourself! It's never too late to learn. God bless your pilgrimage! We're just passing through...

"It is full time now for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed; the night is far gone, the day is at hand. Let us then cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light; let us conduct ourselves becomingly as in the day, not in reveling and drunkenness, not in debauchery and licentiousness, not in quarreling and jealousy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires." (Rom 13:11ff RSVCE)
