I might unload a lot, please forgive me.
I am not perfect, we established that in my last entry. But I wish I could change. I wish the world could change. I wish Christians could change. I feel that we talk and maybe even walk, to a point, but our hearts are still stuck in the same worldly rut that our sin nature tells us to be in. I'm not certain what causes me too feel this way. I don't always live the way that I should, but I know where my heart lies and I work hard to show that. There aren't a lot of people that I see, that seem like they try very hard. Is a life lived truly for Christ that hard? Are we so bound by the desires of this world that we choose to live as if our lives are ruled by it? We go to church, we go to Bible studies, we go to Church groups (at school and at other homes). But I see ALL of us in stores buying extravagant things for children, for ourselves. Things that will burn! Why are we so wrapped up in THINGS? Why are we so torn between what feels good to us, and what feels good to our Father? Things and our primitive desires are so fleeting. They are here and then they go, but what is left? We are then forced to find that next thing that will make us feel better. Christians even do this with the Bible! We search it's contents for the answer that we seek, or the answer to the issue at hand, but we fail to see the full picture, the ultimate truth. God in His infinite wisdom sent His son, His only child, so the we might be free. Free to serve Him with no chains, no foolish desires. That should be our one and only desire. Not for things, not for the next best pleasure, but for Him and Him alone.
In the end I have to relent that God really is the only one that can change the hearts of man. I just wish that more ears would open to what He is trying to tell us. One step closer . . .
