Least I forget
It is so easy to go back into the world. I know all I have to do is spend time with people who talk ungodliness for me to sway into the same direction as them. It makes it even more important for me to be careful who I chose to hang around with and be close to.
Sometimes with people who are backslidden I always have to question "Why?" - "Why did they make that choice?" "Why did they chose to let the passion go, and become complacent?" - WHY? If you experianced God's love, healing and power, why would you want to let it all go? Why would you want to throw away God's awesome destiny and purpose for your life? It just sounds abit silly to me, and then doesn't it say in Revelation 3:16 'So, because you are lukewarm - neither hot nor cold - I am about to spit you out of my mouth.' God wants us to be passionate about Him or not at all! So then whats the point of being a christian if its only going to be half heartedly? It just gives all the other christians a bad name.
Not to sound like I'm so holy here, but I really pray that it will never happen to me. I pray that I'll never lose my passion, or my commitment. I never want to go back to the way my life was before. I never ever want to live, or do the things I did in my old life again. When I made a commitment to God, I made a commitment to God. Thats it, end of story - I am His till the end. I've been touched by God, He has changed me and have experianced so much of His love, how could I ever go back to the way I used to be? Why would I even want to?
Everyday I want to be remembering all the good things God has done for me, least I forget.
