God's been doing a lot of work in my heart recently; a lot that has to do with life, and my life as a Christian. First, my faith and prayer life are too small. Think about it; we don't have to have faith anymore. Food is everywhere; our needs are met. We rely too much on our own common sense. It's killing our faith. And, without the need for faith, our prayer life falls. We pray 3 seconds a day and wonder why God doesn't work. We pray for a minute, preach for an hour, and wonder why our churches continue to fall and our country is torn up. What a mess. God take me to a place where my faith will grow, and I will have no choice but to fall on my face before you.
Secondly, I've failed the Gospel. I've become just like a lot of other Christians; I believe if I go to church three times a week; do a little visiting and serve in some ministry in the church that I've done my duty. What a lie from the pits of hell. Paul had such a burden for people that he wished himself accursed that they could be saved; he says in I Corinthians that he has made himself a slave for the sake of the Gospel. And I think I've done my part by working with kids one day a week and passing out a couple of tracts. Man, how stupid am I! We live in a world that needs to see Jesus; they need to hear of His love for them, and see a living example of it.
Sometimes I wish God would take me to the place where all that existed was me and Him; where all the distractions were taken away. I've gotta change....
