Wait until you are in jr high, wait till you are in highschool, wait till you graduate highschool, wit till you finish college, wait, wait, wait.
I am getting pretty tired of waiting for things to happen, or to be able to do things. Not because I am not patient (I already know I am not), but because it is what it is what I’ve grown accustomed to. Waiting.
The one thing I regret from highschool is waiting to really take my faith seriously until my senior year. In my mind I always reasoned that I would really be a “christian” in college. Now I realize that having that mindset, I never would have done anything. I am a disciple of Christ, and I renounce any other title that I may have held before. As Paul put it, I consider all of what I was garbage compared to my relationship with God.
Every second we have in this world counts, towards not only our lives, but the eternities of those around us. That thought helps reform my perspective on everything I do. When I am reading my Bible, I can let the Holy Spirit work in my heart knowing that I am not doing things to progress my standing on this earth.
The job I have, it doesn’t matter. The money I make, it doesn’t matter. The home, car, t.v., clothing, and the possession I own, they don’t matter. When did the perspective shift from, I want to get that promotion so I can share Jesus with new people and be a light in their lives, to I want that promotion so I can make more money and buy a bigger t.v., and a wood picket fence to not have to interact with people.
How does sitting in our homes, impact anyone’s lives?
Am I waiting for someone to walk up to my door and say, can you tell me about Jesus? Surely not! I am called to go. I am called to give up my possessions and look towards God in heaven. I am called to stop waiting and start doing.
When did happiness in life become based on the amount of likes you get on Instagram? I am even guilty of this, and then I feel dumb, because I am letting my phone control my mood. Robots don’t have to have artificial intelligence to take over our lives, they have already done it.
I am done waiting. I will be patient, but I will not wait. All it does is inspire us to wait longer. It is like sitting at a stop light, but when it turns green, I say ” ehhhhh I am to comfortable to move my foot.”
I want to be filled with the passion DO things. Waiting has the ability to kill passion. Today is the day to stop waiting and DO what you are called to do by God himself. It isn’t tomorrow, it isn’t next week, it is today.
