(no subject)
having had 2 days alone to think through everything,
i realised how stupid we all are. or at least realised how stupid i think we all are. haha. please let me justify myself.
many of us hate change, don't we. yet change is what brings us to God. change is what pushes us out of our comfort zones into the unknown.
yet there's one common thing in all these unknowns. the only common thing.
God.
so we don't want to find God, do we?
we just want to remain with a few friends, do the things we like, bunk in with the people we can relate to.
which isn't wrong. i like it too. not that what i like really matters but.. you get the point. it's not wrong.
yet that just shows how selfish we are. we aren't willing to sacrifice our comfort to achieve higher plans. we aren't willing to sacrifice our security in ourselves, in those we know for the security in Christ.
i believe you've realised in that two sentences how stupidly selfish we are.
we are selfish, that's bad. and by being selfish we miss out on something better, miss out on something greater. someone who's above all.
we find security in having others come crying to us and us just comforting them.
yet we aren't able to point them to Christ. we aren't able to help them grow by speaking truths, God truths even into their lives. we just make those who're mourning feel better by telling them that they did no wrong. how perfect they are. and behind their back we kill them. we all know that it takes 2 hands to clap.
due to time constraints i'd like to just paint this picture of what i've reflected us to be.
a stuffed toy.
pretty on the outside, nothing on the inside.
