A Prison For Your Mind

"The Matrix is everywhere, it is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window, or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work, when you go to church, when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth. The truth is that you are a slave. Like everyone else, you were born into bondage, born into a prison that you cannot smell, or taste, or touch. A prison-FOR YOUR MIND."

This is the biggest thing that movie put in perspective for me. Everything in this world is meant to distract us from what we are REALLY here to do. Some of the distractions are the lives that we make for ourselves and everything in entertainment. We have to constantly be on our guard. We cannot allow ourselves to get sucked into the ways of the world. We are here for another purpose, a much greater purpose. It is so easy to let the little things go. Before we know it, we let almost everything go. We even make excuses for those distractions and try to convince ourselves that they are okay. What distractions have you let in? What is that God wants you to focus on? God has placed you where you are for a reason.
