reading the billboards

some people think i’ve changed. and some haven’t even noticed anything.

but me? i think i haven’t really changed as a person, but i am dealing with the crappy parts of life differently.

at least i hope i am.

 

last night at the super bowl party for my youth group, my youth minister said something that stuck out to me.

are you going to church and just “reading the billboards”? or would you rather have the actual product or an amazing commercial? you can read the Bible and go to church, but in reality? you’re just reading the billboards. you must LIVE out your faith. and search for the real “product”. don’t be satisfied with the beautiful crap the world offers you. it’s not worth it.

that really hit me. i mean, sure. i’ve been focusing on myself and trying to get over this, but it’s kinda hard to “get over” anything without God. i’ve just been messing around with church not really focusing on the message and changing my life.

you should be so wrapped up in God as your Lord that others cant help but notice and want what you have.

i usually get all upset when i think about the bubble i live in. how i can’t witness to non-Christians cause i honestly don’t know any. but as people always tell me, you dont have to know non-christians to witness. the christians in your life need witnessing to too..
