Reversing the tube-drain syndrome
May 22, 2006 08:01PM
Didn't we all decide as little children that we would grow up to be heroes? Sure there we times when we felt unable, but nowhere was there a shadow of doubt that we could do great things. As a four year old I thought I could run faster than was humanly possible. When I turned five I felt like no matter how hard I tried I would never be able to keep up. Such is the bitterness of life that out of false hopes we believed, and ever since we have been striving.
Down deep we still long for the best possible output from the strength of our years, but as the hindrances become ever more realized it seems as our striving will slowly kill us. The laughing faces of childhood role models and examples taunt us with their all too shallow answers. Only one voice in the midst of the lies calls deep into the yearning of our heart. Only one voice cries out to show us a better way than the sucking noise of the tube-drain.
As our own strength is wasting away, and all the confidence that we have placed in worthless illusions is betrayed only one is able buy back our hope, and he calls us to once again be heroes. His name is Jesus Christ. He showed us how to truly live a brilliant life through living our lives in the shadow of his strength. Inevitably we will always be let down by our own weaknesses, but when we take the desires of our hearts and give them to the great enabler he turns them into a work of art that rivals before seen beauty.
The choice is ours though, we can choice to draw near to Him, or we can thrust him away in the arrogance of our own hearts. You see the cost of reversing the tube-drain syndrome is being willing to give up on living for ourselves. Instead we can find true heroism in living for God, and loving him with every fiber of our body.

I'm pretty sure Mel Gibson already did it.
I kid, I kid. Very smooth in the writing department, bro.
