Crossroad or Cross

Are we as Christians really passionate about God?
Or are we just wandering around, letting the world eat us up from inside?
We really should search our hearts. I'm with the thought that many of us are not taking life as Christians seriously. Why allow problems to overcome us when we have been made overcomers? As much as the cross symbolises Christ's passion motivated by love, carrying the cross should be our passion. Did we not after all told God we would do so? or are we just liars in the making?

Life isn't a bed of roses. Jesus said if we follow Him, we would have to endure persecution. My thought is that we should not grumble over petty problems. I'm learning not to grumble. I'm learning to solve problems from Him who promises "a way out". Solutions are not always inline with what we hope for but we shouldn't really be too disappointed. Life promises much more challenges and excitements, why stop at one and cry your eyes out? Seek the next, seek to grow. Perseverance is taught, this is knowledge, precious knowhow to overcome problems. I hope these that I typed will make you ponder, not so much to challenge you. If it does, all the the better. If not I urge you to challenge yourself to live life passionately. It is knowing the truth of the word that will compel us to grow more. The love of God that is with and in us will fuel our passion. The Spirit of Truth will be our guidance.
