May. 25, 2008 - Holding Back
Today our pastor challenged us to live one day for Jesus, not just pray at meals and stuff but in everything we do be for Jesus and to humble our selves before him. Until today, I thought I was already living my days for Jesus, but I was wrong. What Jesus called us to do was not simply live for him, but to live in him and in everything, to do it for Jesus.
As soon as I heard the pastor give me this challenge today, a voice from deep inside of me started shouting-out “I’m too busy”, “I’m already living my life for Jesus”, How messed-up is that! Jesus, son of God died on the cross, so that one day, should I accept his offer of a new life, I could go to heaven to be with him in an everlasting life, is asking me to live my life for him, and I'm hesitating and making excuses! Today he showed me that the way I'm living my life, is only under the pretence of living for him. So from now on I will try to focus more on him, less on myself, and my selfish desires.

I know how it is when you mind makes excuses for things you know deep down you should do

It is so hard to truly live every day for the Lord - so many things try to distract us. But once we do live for God, rather than ourselves, the rewards are much greater. and it's all worth it!
