No one said living for Christ is easy.
Matthew 7:14 -'But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to [eternal] life, and only a few find it.'
For every decision that is made, there are right or wrong choices.
I wonder, how many people actually mean what they say/sing. Are they merely Sunday Christians? Do they claim to be doing the right thing in this or that just for show?
Well, I don't have a right to judge. But God has given us a spirit of discernment. The real character of a person shows through his/her fruits and lifestyle, not his/her words.
All of us need to keep ourselves in check.
God looks at the heart.
2 Corinthians 12:9 -'But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."'
God is always there to provide counsel; to show us His way.
I think I've come to point where I'm really eager for some input from a mentor of some sort. I don't think I've wanted it this much before. As of yet, I don't think I've found what I'm looking for. Maybe this is God's way of allowing my spriritual growth to stem from mainly personal experiences and insights of the Word. I don't know. Maybe my guidance is meant to come from different people. Maybe God wants to be my direct mentor, instead of me hoping for someone here on earth to guide me.
Yeah, maybe that's it.
I should look to God directly, instead of depending on others to prod me along. I got a sufficient amount of that last year, when I really needed it. I guess things have changed. I mean, of course I'll be more than grateful for any help others can provide. Ultimately though, I think my growth requires me to take steps of faith- not by myself, but with God by my side, always and forever.
