How shall we live as servants for the Lord Jesus Christ? I read through the first part of a commentary on the book of James last night, and this was the question that stuck with me. Coming up in the church I always thought that being a Christian was the process of working on yourself. If I kept myself in line as far as my walk with God, then I was doing pretty good. Living life was so different back then with such a self serving attitude. I lived comfortably, and that was good enough.
My whole goal in talking with people about my relationship with God is not to come off as a bible thumper. I guess what I really want anyone within an ear shot to know is that I feel free from what I was when I claimed to be a Christian, yet my life didn't exactly reflect it. I am not always the happiest person, nor is everyday flowers and rainbows. Tomorrow I will wake up without worry in my heart knowing that God will always be the Father that never turns His back even though I turn mine from Him.
