It's amazing how easy it is to think that we're "doing fine" in our faith. Since starting this last week, I have "cleaned up" a little bit, and it's amazing how much better I can convince myself that I am doing. I'm still not spending any time in the word, still not praying (except in panic), still not loving others the way that I should.
It really is funny how easily we can allow ourselves to limit our faith to merely "being good" or "not being bad." It's like we tell ourselves "as long as we stop sinning, God will love me more!" In truth, nothing we can do will make God love us any more -- or less for that matter.
I pray today for the desire to pursue God with all I have, and the discipline to keep pressing on when I don't feel like it.
