lukewarmness
i thought of this while i was at snow retreat. after the lukewarm sermon i got a cup of hot water took it back to my room and forgot about it until cabin time was over. i took a drink of it and hated the taste because it was lukewarm. then i thought to myself that this is my life, i am this lukewarm cup of water. i loath lukewarm water so then i thought, should i hate my life? and the answer to that question is yes. that is one thing that made me wake up at snow retreat.

although it is never really enjoyable, we should be happy to be convicted over things like this for it shows that our love for God is growing all the more, especially if we do the contrary to that conviction. like in this case, loving God more instead of forgetting about the conviction and just going on in our lives like everything is fine. conviction is just the first step, the actions to follow are the things that matter.
ReplyDeleteit is great to see you looking at your life, evaluating it, and then changing it in ways to make it more Christlike. keep working and praying to be more like Christ.
