Than, when I see boys ride a-cockhorse,
I find it in my heart to embarrass them
By hinting that their stick`s a mock horse,
And they really carry what they say carries them.
- Robert Browning, Christmas Eve
Sometimes I find it hard to surrender and just rely on God. I guess submission to higher authority has never been my strong suit. However if I don't even have the faith to rely on God then what does my Christianity become? Is it a toy just like one of those cockhorses in the poem that I choose to amuse myself with?
It seems rather silly though. Why struggle to bear up your own Christianity when you can let it carry you?
Because its bloody difficult.
So much to work on...
