To God

I have lived my whole life as a lukewarm christian and just here of resent I realized the dangers of this. My heart kills me realizing I have not served my Lord or let Him shine through me. Where are my fruits? So many stumbling blocks, it is hard to get past them, impossible without God. I have cried many times, for many reasons. This world is a dangerous place and it swallows so many people; friends, family, and strangers, oh God please help me to have a heart for you! To fear You! To love You! Help me not get tied up in the doctrines of modern day pharisees but instead to imitate You, I want to be a servant and on that fateful day to be spoken for. Let me shine so bright for you alone God!

How many people have I just let slip by without a thought? Held accountable for their blood. This plank in my eye hurts and I want so bad to see clearly! So thirsty, let me be filled Father! The noise is so loud it is hard to hear you, silence it so that I can hear. My heart cries out like never before. I want to wear your armor and serve you for every breath I have left. Everything I have is a gift from you and has been treated as entitlement, I deserve nothing! Thank you oh Lord!

Help me be the husband and man that honors you, so that all will see you. Lead me. Let this blog not be as a trumpet sounding for me so they will think highly of me, for I am nothing without you, but instead let it be to glorify your holy name oh God.

Action Hero

Understanding love in its true form is a great thing, but what good is that love if it is only understood? Can you love without action? Words are cheap, even if your knowledge and skill with words are superior. What keeps us from loving? Truly loving? If it is pride then you are a fool, and if it is because you are afraid of getting hurt than you are weak. Take action, be the hero that many people will not be.

Here is a catch, love with selfish ambition is not love at all. Acting on your love is a great thing, but acting on it expecting a "give and take" situation is not. So when you love, love expecting NOTHING in return and you will be blessed... But don't expect to be blessed.

"The hero always gets the girl" I can not tell you how many times I have heard this. Sure this might be true in Hollywood, but is the hero willing to give the girl up? What do I mean? Humbleness, knowing that we are blessed and being willing to lay our blessings down for our Lord. Now I am not saying go and leave your relationship, your spouse is a blessing from God and should be treated as such, but to acknowledge that they are a blessing not a rite.

Love is an endless pursuit, but if we pursue it to the end we will live an incredible life.
