We say that we believe
Yet struggle in our doubt
We declare that we are free
Yet live as though we’re bound
We say that You are good
Yet blame You in our pain
We claim to be victorious
While stumbling in defeat
We say Your joy is our strength
Yet battle with depression
We call ourselves Your followers
While adhering to the whims of culture
We say that You’re the Comforter
Yet find ourselves beyond consolation
We consider ourselves Your army
Despite our inability to deploy the weapons You gave us
We say that we love You
Though our passions are invested in temporal things
We claim that You are with us
Yet struggle with feelings of abandonment
We say that You are truth
Yet also believe that truth is relative
We call ourselves Your Bride
Yet prostitute our souls in the marketplace
You said that people would know us by our love for each other
And by the fruit of our lives
And sadly
That is exactly how they know us

So what would you say is the answer to this dilemna?
To fix our eyes on Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith. To walk in the Spirit, live in the Spirit and be led by the Spirit. To stop focusing on what is seen and to begin focusing on what is unseen. To love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, mind & strength; and to love our neighbors as ourselves. To remember that the only thing that counts is faith, expressing itself as love.
Obviously, there is much more; but you get the idea. God has boiled it down for us over and over again, but we’re far more occupied with other things. Until we learn to truly follow His lead and adopt His value system, we’ll just keep doing what is right in our own eyes and going in the way that seems right to us.
You’re absolutely right, bro. May the Lord spur each of us on to follow after Him harder than ever before!
