Strong Vs Strength
The Way of the Wise
A strong woman works out every day to keep her body in shape , but a woman of strength kneels in prayer to keep her soul in shape...
A strong woman isn't afraid of anything , but a woman of strength shows courage in the midst of her fear...
A strong woman won't let anyone get the best of her , but a woman of strength gives the best of herself to everyone...
A strong woman makes mistakes and avoids the same in the future, A woman of strength realizes life's mistakes can also be the God's blessings and capitalizes on them...
A strong woman walks sure footed, but a woman of strength knows the God's will catch her if she falls...
A strong woman wears the look of confidence on her face, but a woman of strength wears grace...
A strong woman has faith that she is strong enough for the journey, but a woman of strength has faith ,that it is in the journey, that she will become strong... © 2006 by Luke Easter & Dee Cheeks |
A friend sent
this to me and it effected me profoundly,
blessings on
the hand that wrote it and my thanks for their leave to use it.
Too
often we mistake .. Power.. for Strength,
when
the two are not always related
One
may have the Power over many things, your household,
your
employees, your kids ( HA ! : ) but does this equal strength ?
NO.. well what is Strength then.. ?
Just
as Mercy is the ability to stop
Strength
is the ability to keep going
no
matter what life throws at you.
Like
the Bop em dolls we used to play with as kids
you
remember them...
the
ones with the weight in the bottom
that
no matter how many times ya knocked it to the floor...
it
would stand back up ?
I
think they still make those in fact..:)
That
is strength, the ability to get back up
Also
when the " bad " things happen.. is this always a bad thing..?
NO
Because
the Gods know where we are weak,
and
if needed will see to it we get hit right where there's a point
that
needs attention., some point that we have neglected to tend to
For
which we should give thanks, not curses.
According
to an Apache prayer I read it's
"
Thank
you Great Spirit for the Lesson you taught me..
please
feel free to do it again.. so I will remember it
"
How
many of us have the gonads to ask for this ! :)
With
each challenge faced, we become stronger
The
Way of the Wise, is a way which is often challenged ,
from
within and without, to Be a true Walker of the Light, expect it !
You
are not your average smoe,
you
are are Lightworker, emphasis on " worker "
and
need to be fit for the task, so you will be tested
and
prodded to be the best you can be
A
reasonable approach to this "testing" is..GOOD !
Thank
you, for showing me where I need to work
on
the self and how I handle things, as if you have it down,
you
don't fall over too often
But
to gain such knowledge, one must work, learn, study and yes
Fail
How
we handle failure is as important
if
not MORE important than
how we handle success
Anybody
can handle it when the world goes right,
that's
fairly simple as long as we don't get carried away with it all
and
get lazy, but to handle when we blow it and things get ugly
that
takes a little more doing
That
takes strength,the will power to get up
and
dust ourselves off,
and
then figure out what just happened here,
blame
be hanged, it doesn't matter, its a matter of learn from it
This
is the Way of the Wise
This
becomes the state of grace
It's
not a matter of you are better than anyone else,
it's
just that you know YOU
better
and
know what your strengths really are and use them accordingly
May
you become a fine tempered blade in the Way of the Light
And
not have to get pounded on the anvil of Life
too
much to get there :)
