There are times when we just have to stop and think about our relationship with God.
I am saddened. I sit here typing these words down in tears. Dramatic? Yes, but true.
I look around at all believers and myself and realize that there is a complacency in the air.
Call it discouragement, call it laziness, call it whatever you want. There is something terribly wrong.
Remember when we would hear stories about those who would be left behind and stories about the return of Jesus Christ and we would think to ourselves "How sad is it that people would choose the world over Christ or choose to put all their energy into other things and thereby reject the promise of eternal life?"
But Stop.
Look at us.
What are we doing?
What are we doing?
WHAT ARE WE DOING?!!!!!!!!!
I am so frustrated that I can not do more. My body betrays me!!!! But God tells me that I can do sooo much on my knees. I can intercede. He also tells me to look around, everywhere and look at those believers who have healthy bodies and energy and do nothing. I am not pointing fingers at anybody but I am reporting what I am seeing and sharing it with you. This is a worldwide crisis!!! This is not a situation effecting one solitary church. No siree,ma'am
Dear ones, I know the majority of you who read this are youth/young adults with perhaps a handful of adults.
Think about it.
I beseech you to take the health , energy, potential and capacity that God has given you and "Go Ye into all the world and preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ!" Go and work for him. The harvest is soooo ripe and the workers are sooo few.
I am so jealous (in a good way if that is at all possible) of the abiltiy for you guys out there to have the health to work for God. Really think about it.
Many of you work tirelessly so many of you do. I see that and so does God and He will reward you but so many are reaping the benefits of God's mercy and are not appreciating it or giving God all that they are capable of giving.
I am not a Pastora who reprimands. I am not. I am also not perfect and never have claimed to be. I am also not a Pastora who will ever say anything like this unless I feel a compelling to do so.
I love all of you so much. I look around at how you have blessed my life and how God has blessed all of you. I am thinking of Gods generosity in my life. I am thinking of how he has sustained me and how even now when it is rough I feel Him at my side every step of the way. Listen to what I am saying. Seek God while He may be found. Work while you have your health and energy.
I know that God can heal me. I also know that He has a plan with me and He in His way has let me know that I am ready to be with Him. My time is sparse and If I can leave anyone out there reading this with some ort/small bit of enthusiasm and encouragemnet to tighten your bootstraps, take the helm and take charge of your spiritual life by putting it entirely in Gods hands than I can behappy.
I can't anymore and that is what drew me to write this. I walk a bit and I am unuseful for days after. This is not a pity party so put the balloons away. This is me saying I recognize the opportunity that I blew when I was able and I dont want you to miss out on any opportunities!
Opportunities to work with all your might for God .
I do see God working in my life and in my church but why take a small portion of what the creator has in store for you when so much more is attainable. So much!!!
God has blessed me, That is for sure. I am happy for what He has given me and what He has in store butI am sad that no one else wants a piece of the pie.
We are living in the last days and we are acting like we have all the time in the world.
