I was just thinking the other day about walking the walk, not being a casual Christian and these thoughts came to me. I think so often it's so easy to get carried away with the image of being a Christian, with all the works, and it's SO much more than that! So I jotted some words down. Here they are:
It's more.
It's more than just praying for your food.
More than wearing a Christian T-shirt
Than saying God Bless you
Saying I'll pray for you
It's more than going to church on Sunday
Raising your hands while you sing
It's more than a weekened retreat
More than attending a bible study
It's more than being a good person
Trying to do the right thing
More than hanging a cross on your wall
It's more than not using profanity
It's more than not lying, cheating, stealing, or committing adultery
What it is . Is complete surrender. Surrender of your heart, mind, and soul
It's living by the Word, loving Jesus, letting it ooze out of your pores. It's letting God take total control of your thoughts, actions and words. Fighting the flesh and letting God make your decisions and lead you.
It's letting Love come in, take control, and letting it back out
"Whoever wants to be my Disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me daily"
-Luke 9:23
