Just Do it

[kittylover0991]

Why do we as Christians, many times, seem to linger and avoid what God calls us to do... and try to run from it?... why is it that we try to ignore waht he is saying and not repent of a sin.. why do we try to hide how we are really feeling behind a mask... thinking that we can get away with whatever it is?...

I can't begin to express the pain that comes from trying to run and hide from God.. many of us know this pain.... but if there is anyone here today that is going through this... just take that first step away.. No matter how hard it may seem.. say a small prayer.. read a small chapter in the bible.. pray God woudl help you through and give you strength....

That first step is key.. just take that step... dont wander around trying to avoid it as long as possible.. don't walk around the house "I need to be ... I need to be ...But it is so hard... I dont' feel like it"... Whether you feel like it or not.. just do it...

Sure, I am hurting right now... but that is because I haven't been listening to God.. I want to help to make sure that someone else won't take these steps.. or if someone has taken a few steps or more.. that they would just take that first step.. a simple prayer....

After I press that send button on this thing.. I am upstairs to pray and do my devotion... If you are in this type of situation.. no matter what the circumstances may be.. why dont' you join me.. come on.. one step... why don't you join me... It might be a struggle to get that point.. but God will give you strength.. why don't you just join me now in prayer...

Dear sister kittylover,

This is a wonderful post! You have encouraged me with it because there are far, far more negative, combative, hurtful threads and posts here than there should be. Your's is an edification of the body and reaches out to the lost and hurting, whether saved or unsaved. That is what Worthy is about and what we, as Christians, should be doing for each other!

Sadly, if previous examples of posts like this one are an indicator, you won't get many responses because it's just not "popular." Many people would rather argue, attack and be right than to join in threads like this one, that express the heart of God.

Set on a scale to be weighed against each other, I think one thread like this one is far better and more glorifying of God than 1,000 theological debates taking place on all the boards here at Worthy.

God bless you, kittylover!

interesing post.. i agree 100%.... however... theological debates are meant for debating thigns.. sure.. we shouldn't be saying unkind words to each other.. besides.. normaly... i dont' post on threads like these because I normally i dont have much to say.. either I agree becaue I know it is right... or i try and disagree becase I am outside of God's will.. or else.. there are just too many posts.. and I feel like being lazy Hence what got me into this pridicament

That's simple....most Christians (like ALL non-believers) love the world more than they love God.

But how do you get out of that "love of the world" how does one come ot "love God"?

I went through the lazy stage, the "I need to...but I don't feel like it" I made the decision that I was going to read my bible and spend time with the Lord no matter what. Even if I didn't understand what I was reading, or feel the presence of the Lord. I forced myself, and I forced myself, and one day I realized that I longed for my time to be with the Father and read his word. I no longer had to force myself, God had birthed a true desire within me to be with Him. I looked forward to that time, and He always met with me.

But how do you get out of that "love of the world" how does one come ot "love God"?

Press in with all you've got and don't quit no matter what.

Bless you Kitty, your post is great!
