(WARNING: do not mind my lack of grammatical or punctual usage. This is simply my heart's prayer and my mind's wondering from the past few weeks)
the entirety of our existence is to proclaim the name of God and to build disciples. yet, this world and Satan's plans deceive us from our initial mission and purpose in life. money. fame. relationships. none matters if Christ is not the foremost foundation of it all. so, why then are we at fault with the idea that we are saved but can once again relive our days as sinners? why is the world so corrupt that the church of God seems to be fuzzled in with the mix of non-Christians? what makes us so different if we go about living life of the "Southern culture" of beer and + parties on saturday and church + God on sundays? there has to be a change of heart. there has to be.
i sit here... pondering on why my heart is restless to see how flawed humanity is. how people can be so fake to one another. i cry out to God, trying my hardest not to judge the people of God bc I know that i too am at fault. i know i am not perfect, i know i make mistakes, i know i sin, and most importantly, i know i follow a God who loves. LOVES. loves. what good is it, if the leaders of the church (the people that others are supposedly to look up to) live as the pagans do... live their lives full of despair, defeat, and destruction. how glorifying is it if you live your life as a non-believer?
which brings me back to the point that there has to be a change of heart. there has to be change. there has to be evidence that the Lord is working miracles in your life. if what you do will hinder the faith of others, then do not do it!
...these past few weeks, my heart cries out and sings for the brokenness of the church... my eyes have seen, my ears have heard and i have witnessed many people who i deemed as strong christians fall to the ways of the world and slowly dwindle away in becoming a "church-goer" rather than a "Christ-follower"...
i pray for redemption. i pray for change. i pray for intervention of the holy Spirit. that the prodigal children of God will return. HOME.
