I wrote this sophomore year of college and just recently came across it...
I was challenged...thought I'd share...
the urgency of the Savior's message: to what lengths will i go?...is it really that vital to me?...life and death?...to understand the King's call over my life is to comprehend life and to understand death...no, not heaven or hell...that's motivation, but it's not reason...my life is not lived to get to heaven and my death is not died to avoid hell...my life begins at the thought of Christ, it is lived at the notion of glory, and it is died with integrity to the King who is over all other kings....have you thought about what that means?...at His fingertips, he holds the power to strike a servant down who disobeys or looses focus....that's me!...and yet, i take for granted His glory...I ignore His great power...i have a tendency to think it's a sweet and tame glory...NO! my God, my King, my Jehovah, my Creator is NOT safe and innocent like a cute stuffed animal...He's not at my fingertips...i'm at HIS! He is bold, He is mighty, He is stern, and chissled, He is AWEsome, breathtaking, overwhelming, He is GOD!
it amazes me how i can type about it now and not fall flat on my face as i even think of His majesty and power...i should...i should be on my knees, but i don't understand that concept it seems...everything here seems so easy...i thank the Lord for food, but i don't really know what it means to be lacking...i thank the Lord for my family, but do i really know family as He knows family?...i praise God for my friends...in reality, should friends come as easy as they do? what about the prophets, paul, the disciples?...they weren't known for their friendships...they were known for their boldness in proclaiming the TRUTH!...if the Scriptures are meant to be immulated, why am i not becoming as they were? is my concern with man, or about man?...do i really love if i don't share the things that the Father has placed so graciously before me?...i'm so worried about finding the "right things" that i fail to worship the "right God"...it's blasphemous...
all i can say is..."forgive me....send me..."
