My Own Little World......

" In my own little world, population me....."
Isn't that how most people's lives are like now? I know, that before I started to listen to God and follow his path for my life, I was concerned only for myself and what I had to do. Now that Christ has truely changed my life to look more like him, I am starting to see people how Christ would see them. Just like when Jesus would have dinner with tax collectors, or hang out with the lepors, I honestly could say, that it would be hard to walk up to a person that EVERYONE hates because they are liers and take money, and tell them that I am taking them out to dinner! When we think about doing that today, you might get some weird looks, and be gossiped about. It's just like going to school, and during lunch, going over and sitting by the kid that no one likes because some people say he is "weird"...... Well to tell you the truth... We are all a little weird in our own ways. We all have our unique traits and hobbies, but that does not mean that we should be treates as though we are outcasts!
There is a song by Brandon Heath called Give Me Your Eyes".... and this song talks about wanting to see people the way God does. Like seeing that kid sitting by himself at lunch, and instead of seeing him as "weird" or "creepy", but seeing him as God's personal handwork, and God's child. This is my prayer, that our generation would see Christ's light in us Christian, and see that we really are different. And that we would be changed from the ME Generation, to the Outward Focused or Radical Generation. Not the radical like "That was radical dude(surfing,skateboarding,ect.) but Radical as in radical lives for Jesus! Doing crazy, dangerous, Christ-cenered things, for God's glory. When we take a break and look at our lives, stop and listen to how WE are talking about others, and stop being focused on our own lives, but other's lives, that is when we take the step out of Our Own little world, and start listening to God and living our lives COMPLETELY for him and giving him glory for Everything! Who would want to live in a world all by yourself, much less.... who would want to spend Eternity with out God? I sure do not!

So this is why I am stopping my busy, Me-centered life, and now I am living my life to serving Christ and the people he places in this journey we call..life.
 GOD IS WAITING FOR YOUR ANSWER TO HIS QUESTION FOR YOUR LIFE... I'M NOT SURE WHAT HE IS ASKING YOU TO DO, BUT DO WHAT HE SAYS, YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT. HE NEVER EVER BREAKS HIS PROMISES. TRUST HIM AND PUT YOUR FAITH IN HIM, AND YOU CAN WALK ON WATER.

" So do not be ashamed to testify about our Lord, or ashamed of me his prisoner. Buy join with me in suffering for the gospel, by the power of God, who has saved us and called us to a holy life-not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace."
2Timothy 1:8-9
