Take 1, Take 2, Take Action.

Now listening to: Fly Away by Paul Wright

Man, I'm so contradictory to what I believe in. Why is that?!!?! What is my deal? Why why why? Okay, here's the deal. I packed for the summer as I was leaving Anderson University, and I did not have much room to pack a lot of clothes. So, I packed the bear essentials. Many a time, I had to ask myself, "Do I really need this? or do I just want to have it to comfort me?" It's rediculous how hard this was, but what should I learn from this? Well, I packed this stuff, which doesn't seem like a lot (but is) and I don't really need any more than that... So....
Why in the world do I have the rest of my junk?!?!?! The answer-- COMFORT. It is, I believe, Satan's greatest weapon against the world. Instead of persecution, he has just given us everything we need, so we forget about God. But at least we feel good.
This recalls all of the conversations I've had with my christian friends-- about how we need to be this community that puts in everything, lives on only what it needs, and gives to those who need. It seems like there is a conclusion to take this action everytime a conversation like this happens, but then what happens?? NOTHING. That's so diculous that it's rediculous.
We always give up because we think that this perfect idea is impossible to achieve. It is, but it isn't. It has to start somewhere, ya know? It's possible if you take action to what you have felt God calling you to do, but it's impossible if you don't because you can't put your hope in other people in taking action.
Shalom.
