Courageous

Random thoughts for the day. 

I was driving home with my phones itunes on shuffle, and that song "Courageous" cam on. Have you ever listened to the lyrics in this song??

"We were warriors of the front lines, standing up afraid. But now we're watchers on the sidlines while our families slip away."

Every time I hear these couple of lines, it hits home. Do you remember the moment you gave your life to Christ?? Wasn't it the greatest moment you've ever experienced?? After that moment, didn't you just want everyone in the world to believe and have the same love and grace you'd experienced??

But then real life hits. Troubles happen. Work gets busy or school gets difficult, and you start to lose the drive. You start to lose the internal need to see everyone you know and love get into the same relationship you've found with Jesus. You become complacent. 

I am guilty of this. I go through phases, just like everyone else. 

It's just something to think about.
