Lately I've been reading in the book of Joshua and man have I just been blown away. All the fighting the battles the death and destruction. There is just so much war, but the thing that strikes me the most is that God commands then to do it. To completely destroy whole cities and burn them to the ground. To leave non alive including women and children. Thats just crazy.
God had a plan for the Isaelites. His plan was to give them the promised land. The land flowing with milk and honey, paradise if you will.

This is the way our lives are some times too. We fight with everything in us some days just to keep our heads above water. Fighting for our freedom, fighting for our hearts freedom. We are driven by a passion to be free because we were meant to be free. When God created Adam and Eve they were free. They had an intimate relationship with God. They walk and talked together. They spent time together and ate together and loved one another. Thats what we were meant to have with God. A relationship so close that we know every detail about God and HIm about us. Realness, friendship, love. We were meant for it in the purest of sences. God made us to have life and have it to the fullest.
