the longer i live, the more i want to die

the deterioration of the human heart and soul is not so astounding as it once was. somewhere along the way we have forgotten the severity of the purpose to which we were called. this terrifying truth leads me to the harsh reality that i face daily - the depravity of the world. i do not desire to live in this world any longer and most certainly not of this world. but the life i now live is not my own, i gave it to the One Who gave His life for me. i shall not take my life for it is His, though i pray He will soon call me home. however, until then i must live as He has called. we are called to love, forgive, serve, bless, shine, pray, rejoice, sing, give, believe, know, worship, understand, praise, submit, guard, thank, hope! His purpose for our lives is much greater than that which i would attempt to condense for my blog. one thing however rings loud above all else. ephesians 4:29 - "let NO corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear." i desire purity above all else. purity of heart, of mind, of soul, of body, of thought, of every essence of my being. may God be glorified in everything. if i should fail, call me out with "4-29."
