Galatians 1:10"Am i now trying to win the approval of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ".
What is the hardest thing to do as a Christian?
to truly make changes in your life, knowing that everyone will think you are insane.
Its funny how much we worry about what everyone else will think, and how little we worry about what God will think. Because isn't it his opinion that truly matters.
My life is changing drastically. And there are so many things that are different, and so many things that are continuing to change in me that are miraculous. A lot of the changes I have decided to make, and a lot of the changes that are just kind of happening. But very few people understand. And I used to care so much about what people would think of me, and how much these changes would make me unattractive. and then one day something just clicked.
my new years resolution was one thing, and one thing only. to align myself with the principles of God and to truly build a strong relationship with him. and to do that, might mean making some other people uncomfortable(sorry its not intentional), and making me even more comfortable. Because I simply CANNOT be the person I once was, it doesn't even feel right. All of my desires are different, my heart, my mind, the way i look at situations, even the way I handle situations. Its all different. And its all because I no longer live to please you, I live to please Him.
You know when you first started to make these changes I understood why, the way you were before def. wasn't healthy for you and I was happy that you were beginning to see that. But it wasn't until recently that I started to understand your purpose of getting right with God. Last week at Billy's church they talked about this. And how "evangelizing" doesn't have to preaching but our way of talking about something we LOVE and sharing it with others. And how we shouldn't be afraid to do so, because it's not about them...even though we tell others somewhat in hopes that they will see it too - its really not about them - its about us and how we feel about God and what we're doing to get closer to him. I really liked this Blog :)xoxox Love you!
