Do you ever feel like you're running on the spot?
I think I've been feeling like this for a while, without realising why. I had no forward momentum, being so caught up with work and people and stuff, that I stopped going deeper with God. I stopped growing spiritually. And I think perhaps part of that was fear - fear of trusting every last piece of my heart and my will up to God. It seemed safer to stay where I was. I was already there; I knew the territory; it was comfortable. But the problem with trying to stay the same is that everything will keep changing around you, and sooner or later the current is going to take you with it. I was blessed that, for me, that current was my best friend, who has (metaphorically) given me a good push in the right direction. We're doing a great study series together at the moment that focuses on spiritual growth. But not everyone has a best friend like mine, and the danger is the current will be the world's current, which is rushing away from God as fast as it can go. So, are you going to choose to move forward in faith, or are you going to keep hesitating until the world drags you back?
About Me
- Kit
- Australia
- I believe in a personal and loving God, the creator of all things. And that He sent His Son, Jesus to show us the way to live, but more than that, to be payment for us, because we are people who do so much wrong. Jesus died for us, and I love Him and the freedom and purpose He gave me. In essence, I am a Christian. I also love life and beautiful things and music and singing and laughter and family. I like reading and writing and helping others. www.everystudent.com.au

that's right..the whole universe is in a war..time progresses..truth shines and emerges..marching farwards means winning..but, we can never stay instilled in a war..otherwise, it only means losing...your understanding demonstrates what Jesus said about Satan.."Satan can not drive out demon", "a house divied can not stand"..It is all about final winning, about sustaining, about direction, and about wisdom..Wisdom is the profoundness never changes with the passage of time..
Just like if there is God or not..We need to make our decision eventually..no or yes..
And, this is one of the most beautiful principles in the Universe..Because with the yes-and-no..when we see the perceptives of no..then..we may know its opposite..yes..Just like light..darkness can neve defeat light..no can never confuse yes..
But, Kit, you do know I did ran away from Him for a few times..and, finally ran back now..I am a bit ashamed of being called faithful enough...but..yeah..God knows who I am..and, you know who I am too..
