Being a Christian is not easy. Here are some questions you might ask yourself, whenever you're in doubt and life has you down. 1. Is your heart in the right place? 2. Are you looking for Jesus' face? 3. Do you yearn for his awesome embrace? 4. Are you going at the right spiritual pace? 5. Do you even feel like you've gotten to first base? 6. Sometimes you might feel like just giving up. Is this ever the case? 7. Are you wandering alone in a daze? 8. Is following Jesus just a phase? 9. Is the world you live in, a confusing maze? Now that you've considered this it's time to stop and think. Search your heart and soul for these answers. 1. Is your heart in the right place? Your heart is in the right place if you listen to it and know you're being guided by God's grace. 2. Are you looking for Jesus' face? Looking for Jesus' face is important. In this world we need to see the Savior's face, in our dreams, in our desires, in our focus on life. His face reminds us that He is in charge of all that happens. He is looking after us. 3. Do you yearn for his awesome embrace? Yearning for Jesus' embrace gives you the desire to continue in your search until you find Him and your chosen way of life. 4. Are you going at the right spiritual pace? You are going at the right spiritual pace if things seem to be happening for you. I don't mean material situations but if God's love is growing in your heart and He is all you desire. 5. Do you even feel like you've gotten to first base? You may not feel like you've gotten to first base. But remember life is not a baseball game and you can't always judge your own progress. First base is part of the way. Making a home run is dependent on God. You need His grace. 6. Sometimes you might feel like just giving up. Is this ever the case? We all feel like giving up at sometime in our faith journey. We're only human. The point is not to give up. God gives us what we need to continue. Giving up shows that we don't have enough confidence in God. This should never be the case. 7. Are you wandering alone in a daze? If you ever feel like you're wondering around in a daze, then you need to stop and pray. We're in a daze sometimes when we're confused. Praying to God and believing He's going to help you which He will; will stop this confusing state of mind. 8. Is following Jesus just a phase? I hope not. Jesus should not be just a phase but who and what we base our lives on. 9. Is the world you live in, a confusing maze? Of course the world is a confusing maze but it doesn't have to be. Believing in God and following Jesus can make our life completely clear. These are just a few reminders of why we're even here. We want to be good Christians, first of all. Life can be very controversial yet God has a master plan. We need to keep our eyes on God. Written by Anita Thomas Copyright 2004 |
