So, I wanted to make a list of six convenient things in our country and abroad. Here it is!
Conveniences:
1. Divorce
2. Abortion
3. Quitting Job
4. Gossiping
5. Playing Music
6. Microwaves
If everything I do is what I want to do, am I really doing anything at all? We all talk about following our heart, living the dream, being who we want to be, when in trying to do so we've bypassed our principles and lost our heart. It can be exceptionally tiring in this land of technologies and frivolousness. We can cart the latest vehicle around the neighborhood and have sweet tastes wherever we please.
Why do we have to like everything we do? Why do we have to be comfortable when we're working? Does comfort of a mothers womb help a baby grow to be a man? For a time, yes. That time ends.
All time ends eventually and then what is remembered; the comforts, or the accomplishments yielded from your efforts?
I know of a man, who prayed in a garden that God wouldn't require Him to go through with everything He had before Him. He said, "Not my will, but Yours." He dreaded going to His death and hated the thought of taking every sin in history and future upon Himself. But He first loved the Lord and consented to accomplish the task at hand, even though He really didn't have too much desire for it.
Next time you ask God to give you the desire to do something, think twice.
