I Don't Have That

I read something that caught my eye. I read a book that said something just like it. I thought I'd share some of it with you guys ( or ya'll ). I think some things in this generation are misinterpreted and have been for quite some time. Religion, government, school, wars, global warming, fossils fuels, and media for starters. I do not know or have all of the answers and I'm cool with that. Who knows, it might be better that way.
I don't have "that". But I have other things. I struggle with temptation, doubt, and pride. The drive behind me I cannot explain. I long to become something that I will never be, but I have a passion to drive towards it anyway. It will be tough, like the narrow path usually is, but with love, community, and longing; I shall keep going down the endless path.

I don't have a religion.
I have a relationship.

I don't have a government.
I have an eternal King.

I don't have education.
I have faith.

I don't have enemies.
I have neighbors.

I don't have a country or world.
I have a kingdom, and it is not of this world.

I don't have a church.
I have a culture and a community.

I don't carry a sword.
I carry a cross.
( Because those who live by the sword, die by the sword. )

I don't try.
I live.
