I have been wondering a lot lately about how I can be the person that God wants me to be. I don't want to be one of those people that gets complacent in my faith. I want be able to stand up and share the word, unafraid of what will happen. I want to like the disciples and just go. No matter how crazy things sound, I can just follow God on faith and just go and do His will. But I let myself get so distracted by the things of this world that I lose focus on Him. I know, I know, I'm not the only person that does this but still, why can't I stay on the course?
But do we even really know what we are working for? Do we realize that our faith is more than for ourselves and what we can get out it? It is not enough to go through the motions and be all prim and proper. Jesus risked His life, GAVE His life so people can not only have a relationship with His father but so they can start having meaningful relationships with each other. I want to show the love of Christ to everyone I meet, especially those that are closest to me. But I wonder if I miss the point at times. Am I so consummed with the long-term that I ignore the short-term?
