im just overwhelmed right now and thinking about my life and really getting to thinking about whats the deep and real reason im here and could i be ok with spending the rest of my life just not living for myself and if that would entail not ever marrying but presenting myself as a living sacrifice to the Lord, like in Romans 12:1 where it talks about obedience to Christ and the verse goes :
I appeal to you therefore brothers, by the Mercies of GOD , to present your bodies as a living Sacrifice, holy and acceptible to God, which is your spiritual worship!
verses like these where i am convicted to not just read over blankly but seriously meditate upon and i believe the more we spend meditating on these kind of verses, the more transforming work God can do in our lives and completely change the way we look like as believers as a whole, our actions, words, thoughts , dreams... everything. but im constantly getting caught up in my own thoughts of how i view that life is supposed to be for me based on watching all those movies about romance that gets to the head and the culture that brutally bombards us with feministic views and being relative to what everyone else thinks..
i believe this is one of the reasons why paul washer, a baptist missionary pastor says that the hardest country in the world to be a REAL REAL Christian ... is America.. even compared to countries where there is so much persecution and torture... because at least in those countries we can honestely say we are not depending on our own strength... where as america is all about making it on your own.. its just crazy thinking about it.. how the influence of self worship begins at such a young age ... in elementary schools, everywhere..
