sooo...... Christmas break sucked. got in a huge fight with my sister, sat around doing nothing, and wasted a lot of time. i hate being complacent. i feel the most useless when im doing nothing....obviously. i didn't even need the break, im not overburdened and im not too tired. it was just a big waste of time. i didn't even do anything with my family but sit in the same room with them. If im not working to further the kingdom of Christ then kill me! if im not being used to bring people to salvation then what am i doing? i am being useless and unmoving. Christ is my cause and Christ is my life. Give me Jesus and nothing else. dont let me grow complacent Lord. i feel the danger in it... i feel like its me allowing the life you have given to slip through my hands. i need to be back in grand rapids. i need to get back to my ministry.
Complacency is a dire disease. It is so easy to slip into a pattern of laziness and simply not care or not see the point of doing things. We must be on guard against complacency in the Christian life. We must never be content, thinking we have done enough in serving God. We must never think it won't matter if we don't read our Bible for a day. What happen is one day easily becomes two, becomes a week, a month, and before you know it, it is easier to drift along rather than get back into spending that time with God.
“We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers, remembering without ceasing your work of faith, labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the sight of our God and Father, knowing, beloved brethren, your election by God” (1 Thess. 1:2-4).
