Complacent and comfortable
Posted by Daniel C. Wilson on Dec 29th, 2008 in Complacency
I keep sitting comfortably as I learn. Something must be wrong, because there’s nothing comfortable about dying to self and giving all to follow Christ. There’s no endurance in this race when it feels like a cakewalk.
God, make my spiritual walk real. Make the things of eternity more real to me than even the things I see on this earth. I feel trapped by what I can see but my heart wants more, this isn’t satisfying.
Teach me to apply what I have learned instead of nodding at every great sermon point and acting as if agreeing with doctrine is good enough. Teach me in such a way that what I learn changes my actions, not just my intentions.

True.. I have been feeling the same way about my life too. There are some things that I gave up to follow Christ but is that enough?
Surrender is a life long process. We are made for relationship with God. He wants all of us, and He wants us to come willingly. Pray for God to give you more desire for Him and to let go of whatever it is that is holding you back at the moment. Remember, we will never truely become fully alive in Christ until we meet Him face to face. Don’t let the devil have the upper hand in your emotions either. God Bless, and praying for God to show you areas that you need to surrender to Him. Bless you, Robin
Hang in there Daniel. Keep seeking after God with your whole heart and He will take you where you need to go.
Hugs!
Daniel know that God is dealing with us all in this time to seek after Him with our whole heart mind and soul. My pastor taught us a couple months ago about this place called the divine middle. Where you are satisfied and grateful for what God has done but at the same time you know that there is more to God and thias journey that we are on. be foreever encouraged my brother for God is molding greatness out of you.Love always Faith….Becoming one with God
