Restless night. I'm so exhausted but my mind won't stop running its mouth.. tonight's topic of choice is a few things that have been on my mind this week..I see a lot of different types of people at my job and generally have the typical conversations about weather, family, what do you want to do with your hair today..etc etc but every once in a while i'll have a few that get me thinking. One in particular... Which really kinda struck one of those annoyed/saddened cords in me because I see how so many people have gotten caught up with what "type" of christian they claim to be and why their denomination is the only "right" one that they are blinded to what their actual purpose in life should be and reaching that goal is going to be so incredibly fogged up with the "stuff" that if we dont get these things straightened out we'll never reach the full potential God has for us! That makes my heart hurt because I see sooo much non important "stuff" everyone has! I hear excuses like, "well I was brought up and raised this way, i'm not willing to see anyone else's view points" "I like being comfortable" "I like to go to church on Sundays, sing pg 75 outta the hymn book go home and that's that."
The whole entire reason we are still alive right now is because there are millions of people out there that don't know God, or they've been burned out on Him, because once again I think that has to do completely with all the rules and mess that all these different types of church's have confused, legalized, fogged up, so much so that nonbelievers dont even want to come close because they think "well if that's all this God thing is why would i be interested?" Honestly I agree with them! Jesus didn't die the most horrible way I could ever imagine, just for us, so that we could become distracted in all the "rules" and think we're doing our christian duty by going to "our church" and laying out the rules and looking away at anyone who thinks different than us. You were blessed to have someone in your life that got it right along the way and introduced you to Him. He died so that WE get a second chance! We need to get it right. Our mission is SO incredibly simple. Find the lost. Introduce them to God, He does the rest! We are created in HIS image, we are to be like Him. Jesus didn't say to the tax collector, hey your stealing people's money you cant climb that tree an listen to this parable, you go away! No, he went an hung out with him. (Luke 19) You build relationships, you pray continually, God changes the hearts of people, not us, we are simply to be His messengers. We let them know He exist! For these reasons I do not claim a certain denomination. Church is where I go to get my shot of power, to be refueled. To meet with Him. Life, work, people, the world in general, it's full of hurt it weighs us down so I use church and prayer and devotion to amp back up and go find people that need some extra light in their world's. We have to get some sun-glass cleaner and a microfiber cloth an go out there and start defogging some shades..maybe start with your own pair first...I feel like I could go on forever with this in so many different directions but.. i gotta get some sleep.
