Something is going to be the master of your life. You have the ability to decide. What will you be a slave to? You can choose to be a slave to sin. You can choose to be a slave to Christ. Only one will set you free. Freedom is found in submitting your life to Christ. When you are dead to sin, you will be alive in Christ. God is love. When we commit our lives to God, we are giving everything up for love. We all make this decision, but we need to make it consciously. How can we show the true love of Christ in our own lives?
Love is not an emotion. Love is an action. Love is a lifestyle. We have to show love through the way we live. There are people who are hungry living in the same town as you. There are people who do not have places to sleep in the same town you live in. There are people who don't have clean water. People who are raped, beaten, sold into slavery EVERYDAY. What are we doing to stop it?! What are we doing to cause change?
We have to learn to take initiative to help begin to solve the problems of our world. Where do we start!?
Interesting stuff, Courtney. It seems that you're suggesting that intiative (action) begins by ceasing certain action. Are you saying that "doing" doesn't begin by figuring out what to do, but by not living in certain ways, first?
