After a long day, a couple visitors, and a crying baby I am - TopicsExpress



          

After a long day, a couple visitors, and a crying baby I am finally sitting down to start compiling my thoughts for tomorrow. I guess Ive always been a last minute person, but that has nothing to do with what I want to say. Sitting here right now, Bible open and thinking about this past week I feel a mixture of joy and sadness. The sadness stems from the fact that I realize just how difficult it is to live a life worthy of what God did for us. Christianity is not something to be convenient. I think it is exactly the opposite! At times it feels like it is something that is uncomfortable and impossible. Our body craves the things of this dead and sinful world. My goal in this life is not to make money, be famous, have a great home, have a great job, but instead it is to shine Gods light into this world. There are so many people who call themselves something that they know nothing about. I am not to judge a mans soul or his heart, but I can judge fruit. When I look around at the Christian church it is sad to see dead fruit. This week the fruit on my tree was nowhere close to the healthy living fruit that it should be. The joy comes from Jesus Christ who has overcome and destroyed my sins. He knows me better than I know myself and has still provided me a way to be righteous in the eyes of God. To have someone so powerful, someone who spoke the world into existence, strengthening my spirit is amazing. This probably makes no sense at all, but sometimes I really just need to type stuff out for other people to read. It helps me, so I want to say thanks! I hope that everyone sees me as a person that is for real. I hope that I never do anything that damages my witness or testimony for God. I also hope that I can encourage other people to strive for the same thing. Galatians 2:20 - I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
