This is something that I wrote a while ago, but I feel that it is something that is still relevant...
It’s when you begin to see the fruits of your labor or the results of the tests and trials that you’ve been through that you begin to realize how complacent or comfortable you have become with where you’re at. Just because you feel as if you've completed something or did the right thing, you think you're good for a while.
I had a hard time dealing with a situation that I didn’t want to deal with. But God saw fit for me to be apart of this plan! So I went along and did what He led me to do. At first my attitude inside was not godly. But it was as I began to see his plan unfold that I came to realize its beauty and promise.
When this product of this plan began to show favor and began to please the Lord, it started to put me in check. I began to see the flaws in my life and the things I needed to get rid of and change so that I can be the right example and friend that I needed to be.
I learned that it’s not enough to just say you’re a Christian but you have to show growth, maturity, and be a proper example and not half of a good one. God will use us to either be the good example or the example of what not to be. Who do you choose to be?
Thanks to God’s little plan, I have learned that I need to be on top of my game as a Christian.
People will always see me one way, but my motives need to be right also. And I need to stop silly and ungodly addictions, thoughts, or anything of the sort. You don’t know how God will use you, or when, or to whom, just prepare yourself.
We shouldn’t just act or appear as Christians, we need to BE Christians. We are being called to be disciples and to Disciple. Carry that cross! Be encouraged!
