is Jesus
part of your life?
or
is Jesus your life?too often we think of having a time of day devoted to God. spending time with God in prayer, devotionals, fellowship, but we often fail to realize that as Christians, God is not merely
part of our lives, God
is our lives. we have a bubble, a box if you will, and we stick religion into that box. and i'm not talking about being a sunday Christian, where you act one way on sundays, and another way every other day of the week. i'm talking about what you base your life on. what you live for. what you think about when you make the smallest and biggest decisions of your life. we often keep God out of our lives; turning to him only when we have problems, or when we have something to be thankful for.
regardless of whether or not we are "officially" communicating with Him or not, God is always there, its time we act like it. its time we actually "believe" God is with us everywhere we go.
i think its time for me to reasses my goals, by actions,
who i am. its time that i include God in all of my daily activities, rather than stick him in a little treasure chest that i seldom open up.
the question is
how can we go about doing this? well, the simple sunday school answer would be "pray about it". but really, what we need to do is just change our attitudes. realize that we live our lives not for ourselves, but for Him alone. theres a good place to start. God can only work in you if you are willing. after all, He
did give us free will for a reason. so its about a change in the way we think -- the acknowledgement of this omnipresent God that we worship.
just something wcf made me think about tonight. i liked fellowship tonight. i thoroughly enjoyed it although at first it was kind of awkward since i was a little bit early and i was just sitting by myself. but things got better as the night progressed. i like wcf. (for those who don't know, thats waterloo christian fellowship).
