My Own Prison Revealed

A prison is a place of forcible restraint or confinement. A place used to control behavior. Punishment for the unruly law breakers. It can consist of torture or some consider it as total torture. Others also consider their wrong doing justified no matter what and any wrong doing back to them is torture.
Any way the fact is were all held in our own prison to some degree. Well your probably saying what do you mean? I'm saying for example your a smoker and you can't quit smoking. Somehow something is holding you in bondage. Is it because your weak and don't have the strength to quit on your own? Or is it that something you can't see is holding your own strength back from quiting. The same example can be used in any circumstance, jealously, lust, sexual addictions, alcohol, ect. ect. You get the jest of things.
What I'm saying here is any time you let any wrong behavior control you your in some form of bondage held in your own prison. And the more you let these wrong doings control you the longer your sentence will be. None of us down here are free of any prison sentence during our trial of life. In fact it is our time we spend in our own prison that were supposed to learn from our wrongdoing. Then upon our release we can go back to contributing to society in a Godly manner.
The apostle Paul had so many prison experiences that he called himself a "prisoner of the Lord" When Paul and Silas were cast into the Roman prison at Philippi they were miraculously freed when they started to praise God. The reason is because they refused to submit to the enemy in return they were set free and the same example can be used today in the way we live our lives.
John 8:34 and on says this.
Jesus replied, "I tell you the truth, everyone who sins is a slave to sin.
Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever.
So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.

So my friends bondage is a prison sentence.

Meekness

Some see meekness as a form of weakness but in fact it has nothing to do with weakness at all. Weakness is due to negative circumstances, such as lack of strength or lack of courage. But meekness is due to a person's conscious choice. It is strength and courage under control, coupled by kindness. An attitude of humility toward God and gentleness toward people and recognizing that God is in control.
This is a word that you don't hear much anymore and yet a lot of people out there don't even know what it means. So here you have it and now you'll now be able to practice meekness where ever your journey may bring you.
And in the end my friend " Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth"

Weathered

I lie awake on a long dark night
I can't seem to tame my mind
Slings and arrows are killin' me inside
Maybe I can't accept the life that's mine
No, maybe I can't accept the life that's mine
Simple livin' is my desperate cry
Been tradin' love with indifference
An', yeah, it suits me just fine
I try to hold on but I'm calloused to the bone
Maybe that's why I feel alone, yeah
Maybe that's why I feel so alone
'Cause me, I'm rusted and weathered
Barely holdin' together
I'm covered with skin that peels
And it just won't heal
I am rusted and weathered
Barely holdin' together
I'm covered with skin that peels
And it just won't heal
No, it just won't heal, no, no, no
The sun shines and I can't avoid the light
I think I'm holdin' on to life too tight
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Sometimes I feel like givin' up, yeah
I said, sometimes I feel like givin' up
'Cause me, I'm rusted and weathered
Barely holdin' together
I'm covered with skin that peels
And it just won't heal
I am rusted and weathered
Barely holdin' together
I'm covered with skin that peels
And it just won't heal
It just won't heal, no
The day reminds me of you
The night hides your truth
The earth is a voice
Speaking to you
Take all this pride
And leave it behind
'Cause one day it ends
One day we die
Believe what you will
That is your right
But I choose to win
I choose to fight, to fight
'Cause me I'm rusted and weathered
Barely holdin' together
I'm covered with skin that peels
And it just won't heal
I am rusted and weathered
Barely holdin' together
I'm covered with skin that peels
And It just won't
Covered with skin that peels
And it just won't
Covered with skin that peels
And it just won't heal
