I want more of God and less of mans thoughts and interpretations of God. I'm tired of people telling me Gods new plan every few months. I think God knows what he wants. I know thats crazy talk but i don't think He changes his mind on whats important every few months. Be like Jesus - We will never succeed at this, we are incapable, but we are called to try. Jesus loved people. Everyone. He corrected when necessary, but ultimately he loved, encouraged and supported others towards Him. We try to make our faith this big theological deal and all we are really doing is focusing on the things that ultimately aren't going to matter. We tend to focus on ourselves. Trying to maybe better our standing in the church and in Gods eyes. Is reading the bible, praying, seeking Him important? Absolutely. But honestly do I think that when I get to heaven He's gonna ask me if i read my bible every day. No i think he's gonna ask me about the opportunities I had to minister to someone that was hurting that I missed because I was to self absorbed.

My faith is about Him, not me. I prayed to receive Him, I prayed for forgiveness and repented. Am I saved by faith? I believe that I am. So if I believe that then what should my focus be? Should I be focusing on me? I know there are always areas in life we can improve on, but I look at Jesus and I see someone who put the hurting and struggling ahead of anything else. We need to step out of our own little box and quite being so self focused.

Love others like Christ loves you. Especially if you KNOW that He does love you. Believe what you prayed to recieve. We are called to more than we are doing. As individuals and as the "church". Things need to change.
