Goethe on the Necessity of Ascetic Struggle




Have you been set free from under the tyranny of sins and passions ?

John 8:36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

Romans 8:21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

Romans 6:18 Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness. 20 For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness. 22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.

I'll give you zero guesses about the first thought that raced through my head when I saw this photo. Don't write it down, though. This is a family blog.

Well.. maybe you wouldn't even be having such thoughts in the first place if you'd have certain needs taken care of.. only this implies having (and preserving) a good relationship with one's [attention-starved, non-gringo] partner (just sayin'..) :-|
