A puppet in the show
Submitted by scott on 2006-09-23
Who am I? What am I? I am my own being but I am controlled by the master. I feel, think, move, hear, see, thirst and hunger. Yet I do not know why.
My body moves. My limbs support me and allow me to move. But what controls the muscle? I am mobile. I can walk and run yet there are no strings attached. I can jump and play. I can do all the things my body will allow me. I cannot do anything else. My strings can only be pulled so many ways. My head can only turn 180 degrees. Why can't it go around?
Why does my heart beat? What makes my eye see? What makes me work that doctor's can't understand? They can understand what it does. They cannot comprehend the complexity of the body much less why it is and does. That is because the body is material. Just as a car or a house. It was created from dust which is not alive. But I have the breath of life inside me. The spirit that controls the flesh. How then can I not understand that the master is in charge of the living?
His breath flows throughout my body. Through every vein and every nerve. It grips my heart and squeezes constantly to make it pump blood. It flows through my brain to make it do the job it was made for. The breath flows through my eyes to what is outside and creates sight. It flows through my eardrums and allows me to hear what is outside of it.
There is something in control. God is sitting above me with invisible strings and he pulls. We all are controlled by the breath of life. It flows through each of us. It is what the world's best cannot understand.
