Lord, I’m tired of unsuccessfully trying to write my own story. Please, take the pen from my shaking hand and finish the masterpiece you’ve been writing since the start.
i’d rather be a”jesus freak” to people on earth who don’t really know me instead of meeting jesus at the end of my life and hearing “depart from me, I don’t know you”
The “do what makes you happy” culture is so toxic for Christians. We are NOT called to do what makes us happy. We’re called to do what glorifies God. Christianity isn’t always sunshine & happiness. It’s hard work and derivation to Him, not us. Do. What. Glorifies. God.
