man, things in my head are swirling, but it's so terrible because things are not yet swirling like I wish they would. Ya know?
I've been thinking over and over again how if you see something is wrong, then do something about it. The Complacent Christian needs to be destroyed. Whether I want to or not, the time is now for a revolution to start. To start. Who is going to start it? "Here am I, send me." All my life I have seemed to fit this role that I am the guy sent to do something that nobody else wants to do, and in that I find the beauty and hope I will in this case.
But... through this I realized a revolution will not be started by me. A revolution will be started by God and people who are humbled enough to only let God shine through. I do not believe we will achieve this by becoming famous people who go down in history, for we will be remembered. I believe we need people who do not want the credit.
I am not saying do not write songs or books or whatever, but isn't there a way where we can make this great things that we are passionate about without saying that we did it-- like some kind of anonymous way...
Maybe I am idealistic, but God is soooo powerful, right?
Don't you agree?
Don't you feel like you purpose is fulfilled yet?
Don't you?
Don't you feel like there's still something more you can do to bless God and the world?
Don't you?
"of course he would like to go and do something extraordinary, and it does demand a good deal of self-restraint to refrain from the attempt and content himself with living as the world lives. Yet it is imperative for the Christian to achieve renunciation, to practise self-effacement, to distinguish his life from the life of the world. He must let grace be grace indeed, otherwise he will destroy the world's faith in the free gift of grace."
So... I quoted Bonhoeffer from his book, which I just talked about how I didn't know how I felt about reading other books... but, I did it to see how it felt... and I don't think I revolutionized my mind with it. But I thought this helped enforce a little of what I feel like we Christians are doing. You can't tell me you are reading this and think there's not something more in your life missing... YOU CAN'T! Be honest with yourself... If you don't feel that way, I feel so sorry for you, for you are blind.
I am not judging you, but I am saying THIS IS THE TIME TO REACT TO WHAT WE FIND WRONG. What is silently screaming in your heart?? Tell yourself. I want nothing from you out of this. I want what God wants-- for you to get it. For you to get smacked in the face by injustice and falseness, so that you may start swinging back with the love of God.
shalom...
