Responsibility...

The Tai Chi class has me thinking about the nature of spirituality. We talked about Yin and Yang at the last class, and we have an article to read about it. This movement of energy idea is interesting. Coming from a Christian background it is interesting to note that it is all about the movement of energy in the physical world even though in class we talk about the spiritual... what I mean to say is that this Yin and Yang seems to be all about transfer and balance WITHIN the confines of the physical world.

I believe we are so much more than the physical...

...and I'll bet that so do you, dear reader... you at least sense that it is true and it either scares you or comforts you.

For instance, when it comes to the energy that is moved from God to humans, it comes through the free will He has given us. I believe that in the sense that we have a responsibility for the choices we make that are "counter" to the will of God. Everything that God chooses for us that we are in congruency with, we don't have to take responsibility for... we just have to revel in it and enjoy. So, it is only when we go up against God and make choices that are counter to His love that we have to take responsibility for them because God does not take responsibility for those things.

We don't lose our free will... it is just the idea that 'sin' cannot touch Him.

When we lay down our will, or at least align it with God's will, freely, we end up enjoying the free flowing energy and love that God is. This Yin and Yang flows between creator and created. Life is better... not to say bad things won't happen to good people... others still have their free will. However, coping with the seeming chaos becomes tolerable and understandable. A bigger picture is seen.

Amazingly, God also provides to us all an answer for when we choose incongruent to his will in grace and mercy through His son, Jesus. God even figured out a way to keep his 'loves' safe from the sting of our own poor choices by putting those sins upon his son's shoulders and sacrificing him for our redemption. We only have to choose to believe in this truth for it to enter our lives and become real.

How can that have been a story thought up by humans and some body of elitists to control a society like I've been hearing some talk about?

It's good to find out what I really do believe in... why do I have to doubt this sometimes?

Live, love, and be well with your maker...


Romans 6:1 - For what shall we say then? Shall we go on sinning so
that grace may increase? By no means, we died to sin! How can we live
in it any longer?
