If you have faith, you have a direction, and if you don't believe in life, you have no strength. Therefore, people must live with faith - only with faith, they are not the same as animals, because animals are casual; just eat and do not eat, eat when you want, sleep when you want, do not think about the meaning of life, do not have to try to subdue their hearts. Why subdue your heart? Because our hearts are often full of dust and full of wild grass, the best way to pull grass is not to pull grass every day, the moon and the moon, the best way to pull grass is to plant flowers in the heart field, and the fragrance of the spiritual garden is a beautiful realm! The beauty of the soul will become more and more beautiful in the whole person! So always subdue your heart.
If you don't think there are weeds, then why do people often say, "Look at your heart like grass grows", and when your mind is occupied by distractions, it is like the weeds in your heart are crazy? The moment of weeds growing wildly in your heart is known only to you. Is the moment when you want to run out and do something bad be a moment when the weeds are growing wildly? Why let it grow wildly? So you have to subdue your heart.
Many times you feel like a big lion in your heart — a mad lion, a lion who wants to do bad things, a lion who wants to lead you to death. There is a saying in the Bible: "The devil is like a lion marching everywhere looking for someone to devour." "The lions marching all over the place will find your head, what will you do?" Follow it? To subdue your heart, just as it subdues the lion who wants to do bad things, it wants to pit you, and you have to recognize him, because the lion belongs to the devil, it is the embodiment of the devil. So you have to subdue your heart as you subdue the devil. Don't you see too many people in this world who, unable to subdue their hearts, have gone from the devil's word to become the "devil" we can see? - murderers, rapists, robbers, thieves, fraudsters, embezzlers... Which of them subdued their hearts? They allow the lion to run rampant, to destroy the fertile fields in their hearts, to destroy the flowers in their hearts, and their hearts eventually become the stenching lair of the lion, and because they have not subdued their hearts, they have become heartless people - is there fewer heartless people in this world? many! Such tragedies are staged every day, if you don't believe me, please watch "Today's Statement", please watch "Legal Channel"...
A person of faith begins to learn how to subdue his heart when he has a deep understanding of "sin." Because no one has ever said to you before that "having lustful thoughts" is committing adultery, hating people is "killing", and "greed" is also a crime... Ben thinks that the mistakes that come out of the line are called crimes, and if they are not done, if you do not show your sins, you are still a good person. But "there are gods who look up three feet", and when you believe it, you don't dare to think of yourself as a good person. You know in your heart that the causes in you are renewed day by day in the faith, you know the battles within you, you know that you want to subdue your heart, because there are new benchmarks, new examples, new forces entering your body.
There are many people who think they have faith, but can you recall whether your faith has a foundation? How much power does it bring to you? Believe that those who are full of food and are not hungry regard "belly" as faith, those who believe "you dig my nose, I buckle your eyes" regard revenge as faith, those who believe that "husband and wife are originally with forest birds..." take desolation as faith, believe that "the tail of the flower magpie is long, and the daughter-in-law who marries the daughter-in-law forgets the mother" takes jealousy as faith... How can this kind of so-called faith nourish your soul, how can it nourish your bones? How much trouble in your life has it brought to you? Don't you believe it? Why did you treat your daughter-in-law as an imaginary enemy from a very young age, and keep growing up the song of "forgetting the mother"? Different people around you say different things, different people have different so-called beliefs, and your heart grows up in such an environment, so when the east wind comes, your heart drifts to the east, and the west wind comes to your heart to the west... When you read books, all you learn from books is "deceitful" thoughts or pornographic temptations, and all kinds of truths in books seem to contradict themselves... Just do it, how others do, don't make big mistakes, don't make small mistakes, life must be happy in the world, don't make the golden bottle empty to the moon. Don't tell me about faith, don't tell me about gods, don't tell me about souls, I can't see anyway... Do I still have food to eat and live a good life without thinking about life? Why think about it, don't want to, I don't want to think about anything now just to make money! I'm too busy to think about faith, what soul is not a soul? This is to take money as faith, only to believe in money. But such so-called faith is really easy to leave a mark for the "devil", when the man-eating lion sneaks into your territory and makes your world chickens and dogs restless, you do not understand that your faith is not going in the right direction, you are going in the wrong direction. The direction is wrong, and the farther you go, the worse it gets, so the direction of life is very important. True faith can set the direction of your life.
If you survive in the world, you will always encounter winds from all directions in the southeast, southwest, and northwest, and there will be sandstorms, so you must see the direction of life and recognize the goal of life! If you are a tree, and a sheep walks past you and bites your skin, and you think all day long about growing crooked branches and grabbing the sheep, you will not grow tall or strong, and you will try to grow upwards, because the sheep has disappeared in your life, the shepherd has driven it away, you grow up towards the sun and the rain and dew, and you will eventually become a towering tree! By the time you become a towering tree, you know that the little injury is already insignificant. Because of the firm faith, the wind in any direction will not make you die, you are getting thicker! In all the trees, you are more beautiful because you have a noble soul, and your life turns over a magnificent movement!
Yesterday I heard a song "The Name of Faith", very good to listen to, do not believe you to listen, and the taste of rock, Leng Zixi composed lyrics, the lyrics are particularly good: "Take faith as an opportunity, let hypocrisy and interests overlap, this light is a sword, pointing to the faintly visible end, the tomorrow that has come breaks through the boundless night, and in an instant the confused era will burst apart... The blood that fits the faith can no longer be frozen and stopped, and the psalms of life are constantly turned and turned, and the most gorgeous chapters are written! "I would say it's the power of faith. True faith brings you all positive energy, all the color of sunshine, otherwise it is not faith.
