Heroes
Those who let nothing stand in the way of true justice (the martyrs) and those who yet still serve faithfully in Christ and persevere through persecution in His name. You just and noble multitude, I salute you.
About me: I am many things both good and evil. Human nature is a duality between obedience and rebellion, this is true. Our constant internal struggle is a testament to the choice we made so long ago in that Garden of antiquity. Know that we were never forced to live this way. We made the choice. In this, we are truly free, thanks to Jesus the Christ. How can I not love and serve a God who blesses us with such freedom, the most important of existential principles? To this, I give freely my love and self to He that saves. Of my duality, I have made the choice to amplify the good rather than the evil, through our Lord Jesus the Christ; but though I am weak, I am strong, for His grace is sufficient for me.
Who I'd like to meet:
Know thyself and know thy place,
be content and be humble,
love thy fellow man, and
live boldly in peace and faith.
