Whats really funny about having 2 lives is that it is completely not necessary. In the days we now live in, strangly enough, people respect faith. Although it may just be cowardess and tolerance on behalf of your surrounding parties, it does provide a perfectly healthy environment to keeo your faith. I had so many friends I was jealous of. They were able to keep their faith and cultivate friendships with everyone! On top of all that, people liked them, and they were able to share their Christian lives with all their friends.
I remember thinking about how sad and pathetic my lifestyle was. I had no spine. I didn't stand for anything and as cliche as it sounds, I fell for everything. (There is a lot of truth in that saying, most people refuse to believe it, its just something you have to experience.) Then I just thought about the life of Christ, and the great commission. I just thought for about 5 minutes. CHRIST DIED FOR ME! Good God Almighty, YOU GAVE YOUR LIFE FOR ME! What a sad life I am living. Is God asking for that much?
He gives us breath everyday. Every morning, I wake up. Why? Who knows, I refuse to believe that it is due process. All God asks of me is to give credit where credit is due and to live a righteous life. He even lets us know that its not possible for us to be perfect and that we can repent and ALL is forgiven. Are you kidding me? Thats it? He's says, I'm gonna give you life, do you think you could hang out with me and tell a few people about me?
I never knew how truely amazing the Christian faith as until I started letting it work in me. When I sought out God, he was easy to find. Like I have heard my entire life, He was knocking, I just needed to let him in. Like I have said, leading 2 lives is not easy. Even to this day, I cannot get away from it. It is much more work getting rid of that other reputation than it is to build it. The best advice I can give is, "Know who you are, and know that you know it."
I will start a new series with discussion on some scripture next week. Thanks for reading.
