I've let myself be in limbo for far too long. For far too long, I've let other priorities take precedence over my desire to serve God well. I find myself with little desire to read God's word. I find myself without inspiration to write.
Time is precious; life in this world does not continue indefinitely. These are facts that I should be aware of more than most people, and yet they do not seem to affect my life. I find myself now, having wasted so much time, wondering if there is still time left for me to accomplish something great with my life. I do not know what that great thing could be, but I know that I long for it.
Two things must change in my life if I am to reach this goal:
1. Whatever I do, I must strive to do well.
2. I must spend a drastically reduced amount of time doing inconsequential tasks.
I have willpower. I have volition. In my own strength, I could probably make both of those changes in my life, at least for a short time. This is not what I want, however. If the changes I make in my life are simply based on my choices, I do not believe that anything great will happen. To do something great, I must focus on something greater than myself. I must focus on God and by extension every person around me.
What I've actually done is to allow my own comfort to become far too important. As John the Baptist said in John 3:30, “I must decrease; He must increase.” This does not mean that I must stop caring for myself. On the contrary, I must become disciplined about caring for my mind, soul and body so that I can be prepared for whatever opportunities God places before me.
If I may ask, I will need prayer to accomplish any of this. If you want to support me in this goal, please keep me in your prayers, so that I can find God's will for my life and be faithful and disciplined to always be about my mission.
