tonight at one28, something struck me that i have heard before but this time it kinda hit a cord with me. it was the fact that we, as christians, belong to God. all of our time, thoughts, and actions now belong to God. everything that we do, we are to do for God. in our church, it seems that the things that are most stressed are the things that we are not to do and we focus so much on not doing them that we totally forget about the things that we are to do. i am totally convicted and convinced that not doing the right things is just as bad as doing the wrong things. we must turn from the bad and not stop but go. go to the good things. go to things that satisfy. go to the things that bring joy. go towards Christ. only then will you be content with your life. only then will your hole in your life be filled.
this is the only done by living on unseen things, living on the things of heaven. we must live, wrestle, struggle, fight, and die for heaven. for if we don't, we will likely go without it. without heaven, there is only eternal hell. in order to not go to hell, you must strive for heaven. you must GO! stop living in this life.
i say this to myself just as much as i say this to anyone else. i struggle with this. i am guilty of living in the now and doing the things to feel good now. i must also fight with this. i fight with this daily. whether or not to watch this or that, to read this or that book, to do one thing over another. these are the same basic things that i also must work on, but it is a good work. these are good things to struggle with for they do lead to heaven. this is a fight but it is a good and noble fight. so fight
live for heaven. live for God.

I underlined the same section in my notes but I underlined the part that J Sarr said "We are a gift the Father is going to give to the Son". Am I going to be a gift worth giving?
