The struggle within

source

There is a struggle within every man. The struggle between good and evil, light and darkness, spirit and flesh. I have heard so many people refer to it as a good part of them and an evil part of them. There is a struggle indeed within us. Many want good to win but they just can't fight off the temptation of their evil side(flesh) that many have just given in to the evil and it has consumed them completely. Take the life of an addict for example. He struggles with his addiction and tries to fight it off but at one point he just gives in and goes into total addiction.

The winner of this struggle can only be decided by the individual since it is taking place within you. Good can overcome if only you keep on fighting and refuse to give in to the darkness. Even when you fall to defeat at one point, stand up and continue to fight. It is only over when you completely give up the fight and let the darkness take over. We find ourselves doing things we are not proud of. Stuff that profits nothing but only brings us pain, harm and sorrows.

We try so hard to be better but we fall yet again. Sometimes, it seems like it is impossible to overcome it. Triumph over this side of you seems impossible that we might even start to think maybe it's just who I am. That's not true. That's a lie the enemy wants you to believe so that you will remain in your sins. For his mission is steal, kill and destroy. Every time you fall into temptation, don't remain there. It is not time to sit in your filth and wallow in sorrows. The price has been paid. Repent of your sins and apply the cleansing blood of the Land. He says come let us reason together, though thy sins be red as crimson, I will make them as white as snow.

He sees our struggles, the temptations and our weaknesses. He wants to help us overcome. So, don't give up the fight just yet. Keep on fighting and learn from your mistakes every time you fall so that you don't make the same mistakes again. It is a tough fight. Your opponent is much easier to face when it is someone else but if that person is a part of you, it becomes even more challenging. Fighting a part of you is no joke for sure. The fight is real and it is from within. Keep on believing, fighting and never give up.
