i can't sleep

I am unable to sleep in my sub 60 degree bedroom so I'm going to write (not sure how this is going to warm me up but let's take a stab at it).

You are reading this for a reason. You might believe in coincidences but I don't. Everything happens for a reason so read this and think seriously about how your relationship with the LORD is.

 I think there is a generation of Christians who are Christians simply for the reason of going to Heaven. I'm sorry but this is not the only thing there is to Christianity. You are short changing yourselves if you fall into this category because there is so much more joy to be found through a life of devotion to Christ!

I've been there so I know exactly what it's like. I thought that as long as I'm not as bad as the next person and I go to church every once in a while, I felt like my ticket to Heaven was mine. Looking back, this was a really bad mindset and my faith was simply stagnant!

God wants everything in your life. He doesn't just want your Sunday mornings, (and Wednesday nights if you come to my bible study haha) but He wants ALL of you! In Romans 12, Paul talks about giving every single aspect of our lives to HIM.

And what's crazy here is he doesn't give another option. I think a lot of people would rather it say something like this, "Give everything you have to GOD ... except for those who don't think they should, and they can just split it 50/50." Obviously it doesn't say that and it may sound silly but I'm trying to make a point. It's not enough to just believe in GOD.

Did you know that even the Devil and all of his Workers believe in GOD? They tremble when they hear his name but even they believe in HIM.

If you open your Bible, you may not like what you read because the model that some "Christians" portray is not what is on the pages of the holy book.

I'm not at all trying to call people out. I just know that I used to be a "Half-christian" and I know that the life i am living now is so much more fulfilling because I am not seeking after things of this world anymore. Those things only left my stomach hungry for more and my soul continuing to search for something else.

Listen, GOD wants us to do more than just list that we're Christian on facebook. He wants everything we have to offer.

What parts of your life have you not given to GOD?

GOD can see in your heart, what sin are you holding tight and not letting go of? This is keeping you from getting closer to HIM.

How is your relationship with the LORD, and what are you going to do to get it where it needs to be?!
