The biggest life lesson I have learned is this: being a Christian isn't easy. In fact, it's hard. There are many, many people in the world that don't share my beliefs. Many people, the majority of people, don't know the Truth. I wish they did. I wish that people knew the love that God has for them. I wish that people knew how destructive and sad their lives are. I wish I could force people to be Christians and to find their identity in Christ Jesus.
But I can't. This is more fortunate than unfortunate. Why? Because people have to make the decision for themselves. God doesn't force us to believe in Him and His Son. He lets us choose. God knocks on the doors of people's hearts and patiently waits for them to answer. I'm thankful that God waited for me, so I should be even more thankful that God is waiting for so many others.
I'm finding myself very broken for he lost. I'm especially broken for the people in my life who don't yet know and live in the love of Jesus. I hope and pray that they will before it's too late. I hope and pray that they see the Spirit in me and that they seek the same Spirit. I don't know what else to do.
I'm so thankful for a God who loves us all. I'm excited to continue to learn more and more about being selfless and about surrendering everything to Christ. He takes all of my burdens and lightens my heavy heart.
