The world has changed a lot and how things are done today differs from what it was. As someone who grew up in the
Being a christian now
Being a Christian and staying on that path is one of the best decisions I have made in my life. The problem with living in today’s society is, principles have changed with that being said; desires to conform to the world kicks in. Walking with the Lord is a very hard task if it was easy everyone would be doing it. Being a young person and wanting to fit into a society puts pressure on your relationship with the Lord; as you can’t have both.
I have been going through this struggle where the desires of the flesh sometimes overpower the need for spiritual closeness. With this taking place, the flesh will win and draws you further from having a relationship with the Lord; there are so many distractions in today’s society that when it boils down to it, just isn’t worth it. As someone who likes to do the right thing and live the right way; there are times I find myself slipping into habits that don’t please the Lord.
The journey
This journey isn’t easy and it’s not for the faint of heart as you will endure hardship, and struggle that will have you questioning your faith. Whatever happens, please don’t give up on God, it will be one of the worst mistakes you will make. Like anything in life, the journey isn’t easy and establishing a relationship takes time. Failure after failure and wanting nothing more than to give up; many things in my life such as this blog, I had to start again or keep going. If we pray and our prays aren’t answered right away we deviate from following the Lord just because.
Have you ever though about the possibility of not being able to handle what is to come your way? Or that it’s not your time to be Great? Nothing is worst that not being ready. If you are someone who is praying, for a change and it hasn’t happened yet. Be faithful as the Lord works when you least expect it and also when he knows when you are ready for the blessing.
Am writing this to say it’s difficult walking on this journey, and especially in today’s society where the instant gratification is seen as being good. I will tell you this don’t let anything or anyone cause you to lose sight of your focus on the Lord.
I hope you have a blessed day and keep the faith with the Lord.
