The Bittersweet Paradox

Friday, August 26, 2005

I felt like the title of my blog needed further explanation. Here are some thoughts I jotted down at lunch:

If the first shall be last

And the last shall be first

Why is it our minds

Tell us the last are cursed?

He breaks our heart to mend it

We lay down our life to live it

This is the paradox of life here on earth

In hopeful pain

I submit myself

Knowing that for purity

In His blood I must delve

The world calls it foolishness

But through this surrender we must

Find the paradox of life here on earth

In our weakness

His strength we tap

No struggle on earth

Our hope to sap

The world says our sense is gone

Maybe it's the world that's got it wrong

About this paradox of life here on earth.

I'm not much of a poet, but that definitely explains my meaning.

My life in Christ in this world, a bittersweet paradox. But ultimately, it will only be sweet. Here's where I'll tell you something about it.
