I have often wondered about the condition of my heart. Not necessarily from a health perspective but as a fulfilled perspective. If that makes any sense what so ever. Every day I ask God to show me who I am and what my purpose on this earth really is. And you know what response I get in return? Silence.

Day after day, I received silence. It racked my brain and my soul as to why such an awesome and loving God would not respond to this question. I pleaded and begged for some kind of sign or resemblance of an answer. But nothing ever came.

Then I realized I needed to ask myself, is there a reason why I am not getting any answer from God? I had to reevaluate my question. It was bad timing. God I know wants to tell me what my purpose is and wants to tell me who I am, but I'm not ready to know yet.

I am not ready to hear the answer to the question. My heart is not ready to go to that place yet. God decided to answer my question with a question of His own. He asked me if I was ready to know the answers? And rightfully so. Am I ready for the answer he wants to give me?

Am I ready to know who I am and who and what I am supposed to be?

When I ask myself those questions my heart starts to beat rapidly. I know the neurons in my brain are firing faster and faster because my thoughts start going anywhere and everywhere.

How is my soul? Is my heart ready to move forward? Is my body a place for Christ to live in? What can I do to improve my body so that Christ would be proud? What happened that I am where I am now? Who can I turn to to help me out of this drowning state that I am in? Am I man enough to stand up to my demons?

Those are just some of the questions I have for myself. I know I am not alone in this. I know there are probably many out there that are asking the same questions about themselves.

But each of us are different. We each have our own demons.

How we fight against those demons is the key...the key to everything.

Who fights in our corner with us can mean a world of difference in whether or not we win the battle. Will you stand in my corner? Will you back me up?

Let us come together right now and stand in each other's corner. Let's fight for one another. Let's forgive our pasts and push forward. This is the only way we will win.

Who's with me?
