the absolute (ultimate) shield~

I have this on my blog but it something i thought would be good for y'all as well. Hold me to my resolve. I don't want to be anything less than absolute in anything. I want y'all to know i love you dearly as well =]

Greed is the character in FMA known as the ultimate shield or depending on translation, absolute, or for simplicity for later i refer to it as the absolutate shield (AS). One thing on my heart is always the battlefield. It's more of a forward march where we plow through things. In my mind it's pretty cool to see the sweeping away of fortresses by our presence. Why then are we not slowed, well one of the main reason is the protect we have in the armour of God and predominantly the Shield of Faith, and in our case if we have the absolute faith through our absolute God then we have this alsolute shield. it's kinda fun. there is no way to overcome this AS as it was shown through the anime. It cannot be beated directly. As we march foward we continually see the faith grow and push forward. But once the analogy is complete in my mind i look and see that our march is periodically slowed. Is there something wrong? Indeed. The anime shows that there are times when the AS, though appearing the same is no longer the same. It's not a hard carbon based substance (like diamond) but a soft, cheap imitation, like coal. That is how the powerless form not only destroys the one man, but the entire frontline. Because of one person's unfaithfulness the entire frontline has now become vulnerable. Is it that persons fault? On the micro level, *shrug* i don't see why it is not. On the marcro level, no. If we are a body then we fail as one. We have fallen, therefore i have fallen. Blame is out of place during the battle or while in action. What purpose does infighting serve when fiery arrows are flying? it is after when we make account for the happenings. If your shield is garbage then i will cover you with mine and with my armour and sword face down those arrows coming at me. There is no more fault, just overcoming. When we overcome then nothing matters. When we are overcome then we all die. All or nothing, for God and the brethren.My Resolve: i will not only be associated with you, my brethren, but it's time for me to commit my life into your hands and commit my life for your good. What you do is irrelevant to me. Where you fall i will pick you up. If you grow i will rejoice. if you fall i will carry you. If there is a moment to breathe i will speak choice words, whether encouragement or rebuke is up to you. My love is growing and increasingly more unconditional. I have been forgiven much. You will be to. Love covers a multitude of wrongs. Those that i had issues with, i've come to this moment to forgive. How else can i free others from sin when i am not totally, absolutely and perfectly free?I am slave to none other than my first favourite.
