The Inner Struggle

I have found myself more and more lately trying to figure out what folks are doing. It seems that we will raise a ruckus and a fuss over most anything. It is almost as if everyone else is doing everything they can to undercut and undermine everything and everyone else. Sound familiar? Seem that way to you?

So, where does all the turmoil and strife come from? Is it that others are being subjected to more wrong than others? Is it that some folks are more mistreated than others? Some folks are. Yet, it seems that the ones most mistreated are not the ones stirring up strife. So, where does the anger and discontent come from?

Today's word is a quote I came across that may help us: "You can't change what's going on around you until you start changing what's going on within you."

My biggest challenge isn't the things that people do but the things that I do about the things that others do. It is the inner struggle between doing what I should and doing what I want. It is the inner struggle between doing GOD'S will and revenging MY wrongs. It is the inner struggle between doing what is right and doing what is self-righteous. It is the inner struggle that is the biggest battle.

If we want to see true change, if we really want to see things in our world improve, it begins withing each of us. We must fight the inner battles, correct the inner turmoil, right the inner wrongs before we can change our surroundings. We must fight the inner struggle.

Be Blessed,
