Keep going

Fallen, again. It keeps happening, why can't it just stop. I'm not expecting, and it creeps back in. I am in continual need of renewal. Plants need light each day. Animals need food. Once is not enough, life needs, depends. It is not self-sufficient. As time goes on, our physical life wanes, moving closer to an end. But the life of the spirit can grow ever brighter, moving closer to its end, its ultimate aim. Draw life from the Spirit, as you draw breath to the lungs. Depend and lean on him in all things, at all times. Do not drink once, and be done. Life is ever new, must be ever renewed. Falling is not the end, and staying down does not bring peace. Rising again is the sign of life, rise again. Pick up, keep going. Be one with him, receive his life for your own. Be in him, and he in you. Be filled. Keep going.

"...because I live, you will live also. In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you." John 14:19-20 RSV
