Shutup For Once

Let's talk about our words and then look at our actions. Do they match? See the problem with most people is that people are ready to answer that question with an easy "yes" instead of really opening themselves and really thinking about how we live our lives.

How many fights have you been in with your friends? I bet it was all their fault right? Cmon, the reality is that it takes two to fight.

What happened to vulnerability? of course no one wants to be vulnerable..it's invasive; it's against human nature. Human nature (aka: FLESH) tells you to never accept that you're in the wrong and that you're always right in whatever situation or argument you're in. Vulnerability/Humility is the first step to take in order to be in a TRUE intimate and passionate relationship with God.

Most of the time Christians think they're really intimate and passionate for God, but they're really not. Let me tell you, I am not intimate and passionate for God. You know how I know that? Because I don't have enough faith to raise the dead, heal the sick, walk on water, etc because if I were to have enough faith for these things, I'd be able to do it in an instant like the disciples and apostles were able to do with just a single phrase in the name of Jesus. Now don't get me wrong, our goal is not to do these miracles. I'm talking about faith.

I know many who say that they're humble all the time and boast about their talents. Guess what...A humble person would never say that they're humble or boast for that matter. I know many who say that they'll "pray for you", but really they don't (no i don't stalk them, but they do admit that they've forgotten about it the next day you ask them about your prayer request). I know many who say that they care for the lost, but don't because their apathy make them stay in the background in the classes (never really saying much unless they're called or need to borrow a pen or something). I know many who want attention..like Amy said..that's a part of being insecure.

No, i'm not perfect. Yes, i have issues as well. But the one thing that i've realized for quite some time is that we like to talk...and it's time to actually walk it out.
