I've been thinking a lot about my purpose in God's kingdom. Since we've been married, we've spent a lot more time in prayer together, allowing God to change our hearts and the way we view the world. I feel like I've reached the point where it's no longer just a religion I practice, but it must be a way of life. I look at Muslims and Jews and it seems as though they truly live their religions and it's not just something they do on the Sabbath or day of worship and rest. I find that so many of us Christians are just Sunday Christians, but the rest of the week we don't acknowledge God in our lives. It's as if God is a convenience to us and we follow Him when it's the best time for us. The point in my life that I'm at is forcing me to choose - follow God with everything I have and am or separate and live the lukewarm life that I've been living. I've so often feared ridicule from others about my faith. Let's face it, Christianity is not cool and it's NOT the thing to be/do in society right now. However, I still refuse to believe that Jesus Christ died in vain and all of this is nothing but dust once we're gone. I wonder why we aren't out there really living our lives the way the Muslims and Jews are. They immerse themselves in their faith and it dictates their very way of life. This is the clear conviction that I've been hearing from God the past couple of months and I feel that it's a call to all of us; a challenge to no longer just be Christians but let it be our lives - let God be our lives.
