Alright, so, I don't have anything in particular to post about today, I don't know, I just feel like throwing some stuff out there.
How about this: I've been thinking a lot about this lately, Christians seem to have gotten terribly complacent, happy to have fun, make being Christians look exactly like being unbelievers, and judge the world, since we have it all figured out. I must say this: that's NOT cool. I spend a lot of my earlier years as a believer wasting time being complacent, reading my bible once in a great while and going to church for the social benefits. That is NOT enough! It's crazy. I've found that when you live your life for God, you really live life. God is SO good, and He WANTS to have a real, intimate relationship with us. He loves us like crazy, and how it must break His heart when we just go through the motions and ignore Him so we can comfortably live our lives. Just read Songs of Solomon, and you will get an idea of how incredibly much He loves us.
He created us to be SO much more than this. He made us beautiful! Did you know God thinks we're gorgeous? He really does! Once again, read Songs of Solomon. He made us to live crazy full lives! Yet we want to sit in church and sip our Starbucks and listen to sermons that are nice, make us feel good and don't make anyone uncomfortable. We want to stay within the neat little lines contemporary Christianity has drawn for us, when it's not supposed to be like that at all! God made each of us unique, and He has relationships with each of us, and it's different with every person. And we were meant to get our hands dirty! We were meant to get out there and be His hands and feet, go out for Him! When God asked the heavens "Who will I send? Who will go for us?" then Isaiah jumped up and shouted "Here I am! Send me!"
Do we beg to go out for God and work for Him? Is that our passion? Is that where we find our meaning? In showing His love to the world? In going out and making disciples, instead of just church-going followers?
Please don't get me wrong, I love church, I especially love the worship, but church has become too much of an institution. We are His bride, His beloved. Do we act like it?
And how about this? I met a guy! A really nice one too! God is SO good to me! I met a guy at a swing dance who loves the Lord, who makes me think and challenges me to dig deeper into things, who is kind and gentlemanly and good with the younger siblings, who is insanely cute, and is just a really cool guys who shares some common interests! Updates shall come in regularly on this developement!
Goodnight all! God bless!
