there's a bridge to cross the great divide
a way was made to reach the other side
the mercy of a father
cost his son his life...
his love is deep
his love is wide
there's a cross to bridge the great divide...
=) a Song that sings a tune the entire morning.
Answer to Question
Is it possible to be at peace with God, yet continue to struggle hard and be affected by the world
Yes, but depends on what you mean to be at peace with God... That is down to an individual. Here it means.. "to continue to hold strong to the faith, and recognise and live in that relationship with Him." So... Well the world is full of challenges for a christian, and many christians will tell you how they continue to strive hard and struggle against "the carnality of things". Especially after they become christians, because they see the limitless sky of goodness that they can achieve. or should strive to achieve. "We are from this world, not of this world" Yes. thus we're still affected by the world, by satan, yet we should never become of this world. The carnal christian is a huge term that comes to mind at this point. The carnal christian places himself and the world on the throne, and God beneath the throne. The true believer places God on the throne, and himself, kneeling beneath his feet. We must be at peace with God and we will be. Because God allows us to be. And we choose to be. Yet Satan will always strive hard to destabilise us, bring down our faith, destroy that peace we have. And the stronger we are, the harder he'll try. We'll always struggle with him.. due to our limitations as man. And only with God can we overcome Him. We must always remember that God will never let us fall, and he'll never let us endure more than we can suffer. Thus in remembrance of all this and knowing God is with us, we'll be at peace with God even as we go through the sufferings, and the struggles. Yet the stronger we are... the more Satan will try ... and the more we'll struggle... Because every mountain is higher than the one we've just overcome. The important thing is to know that we'll never lose the battle, we should never give up the struggle, and give in to Satan. rather that through each struggle, the more we struggle, the stronger we'll become with God, and our relationship will be more peaceful. =)
The pure in heart will truly see God.
