To be a light in this dark world takes a lot for a person to do. Of course there is that spiritual high and you lift your hands up to him at a christian concert or an awesome message. And you tell him lord I am all yours and then when you go back home or just to school or work. You realize the stress and how hard it is to speak his name. We walk by that person and just look, do not even say a word. Who are we? We just came back from an awesome experience with God and we just forgot things we learned. We need to keep that spirtitual high alive and do not forget who God is even for a second. We need daily reminders of how amazing he is. You should have no fear in lord but honestly its easier to say than to do.
Does this sound like you? It sounds like me
I have been there, going to a camp or a concert and coming home and after the first couple days you feel the weight on your shoulders of the world. The spiritual high starts to fade and you start to slowly let things go.
Everyones been there so i want to challenge you...this week go up to the first person that you feel that needs a friend or just someone to talk to and ask them how they are. Don't be scared for you will find results. You don't even have to preach to them just go be a friend to someone and stir something in there heart. I also want to challenge you to really take it seriously and find someone to keep you accountable on keeping your fire in your heart lit. Turn that light and break the knob. Its time to start a forest fire in your heart that wont go out. You can do it I know you can.
Your word is a lamp to my feet
and a light for my path.
Psalm 119:105
Take this verse seriously for you have the light the whole time right under your nose. My last challenge for you. Take your bible with you where ever you go for one week and hold it in the open and read it in public.
"A light is only good in the open"

How do we keep the fire lit, how do we keep the fire alive?
Its up to you how bright your light shines in this world. Its as if we were a dimmer in our house and when we get home from an awe moment with our lord we just dim our light when we feel the pressure. We need to turn that knob and just break it so we can not turn it off. Do not be scared when approaching someone for you do not know how deeply they need love or how much they just need a friend. We should not be scared and say "I can't do it" because those people that we do not approach may never be approached. We do not want to be the reason that person never felt that one of kind love that we received when we accepted Jesus Christ. Now is the time for us to rise and use that voice that

LOVE THIS! I hate that feeling you get of that high just slipping away the closer you get to the world. I just think, "No! No! No! Don't go away! I don't want to feel closed off again! I want to feel ALIVE!!" Sometimes I just want to bring a pillow to church and live there so I don't feel so seperated from God... but then I realize that speaks alot to how I must be living at home if I feel seperated from God there.
ReplyDeleteThis is challenging, convicting, encouraging and inspiring! It helps to know I'm not the only one who's felt that. Thanks for your honesty.
