The battle is long and yet we must fight. Our goal is to be upright and ensure that we make it to the day of decision. Let us not fear the blades of angels, but let us rejoice in the harvest to come. We will find ourselves amongst weeds - we know that, it is foretold, it is promised. So let us fear not, but let us use it as a consolation to the destruction and competition we face in life. We battle for sacred ground with those who seek to steal our sun, soil, and water.
Let us remain fixed on the goal, but let us also not be lead astray by those that would fault us for recognizing the weeds. They are there, they are real, and they mean to do us harm. We cannot control them but we can control ourselves. So let us push on, let us not break in the wind, but bend and move so as to strengthen the shaft that holds us skyward.
The Gospels are such a source of inspiration, we need to use them more as a source of nourishment but more importantly - HOPE. Let us rejoice not because our victory is assured but because God's mercy is promised and provided. Let us rejoice that we have a loving God whose Salvific wounds have redeemed for us a life lost amongst the weeds - let us rejoice and be glad!
