Confession

In a perfect world I would spend all my free time reading the Bible or talking to people about Jesus and furthering my relationship with Him. Unfortunately, I don’t live in a perfect world. So I plod along and make myself feel better by “doing the best I can.” In actuality, I am not doing my best and I think most times I’m not really trying. When I have time, I spend it in front of the television, reading for entertainment purposes, or occasionally surfing the net. Though it pains me to admit, I devote very little of my “free time” to God. This term alone shows how arrogant we humans are. Our time is not free. Our time belongs to God. Our freedom was purchased at a price. Jesus was the ultimate sacrifice for our gain. His death was the most selfless act ever to occur on this planet. It burdens my heart that we take it for granted.

Food For Thought

"A prison cell, in which one waits, hopes - and is completely dependent on the fact that the door of freedom has to be opened from the outside, is not a bad picture of Advent." - Dietrich Bonhoeffer
