something should be done.....

APATHY. It's one of my least favorite words of all time. Why? I'm pretty sure it's because it perfectly describes my relationship with Jesus Christ. It's hard to be apathetic, right? I mean you have to be Hercules to not get caught up in lying around, piddling on youtube, watching gLee, and ultimately just being lazy. NOT! This is something that i have found to be requiring of no strength whatsoever.

DISTRACTIONS. They really suck. Constantly i find myself praying for diligence and desire to always be focused on and thinking about the Word. If I'm not constantly in the Word, there is no telling whether or not i can use it on the lost. Do you ever find yourself aching from all of the mediocrity exuding from you whilst in the presence of God? So many times we've said, "Father, You are sovereign. Thank you for everything. Help me to live like Jesus. Give us the peace that surpasses all understanding." Yet we place God in a box, take everything for granted, we look like the world, and continue to mentally shame ourselves because of it all. Show me the scripture that talks about God being proud of those who take a few extra minutes to sleep and show up late, or those who take break after break during the day and continue to procrastinate, or those who don't serve others because they've done enough for today. It's apathy. Stop thinking. Start acting.

C. S. Lewis states in Surprised by Joy,

"Enough had been thought, and said, and felt, and imagined. It was about time that something should be done."
