What if...?

What if your actions really matched up with what you believe?

Is that even possible? Think about all you would have to change in your life. I am making a huge assumption that you are like me in that the actions and the beliefs don't always match. I would have to adjust a large chunk of how I live my life.

I believe that it is good to have dreams and to pursue them with your life. If I actually went after the things that I have inside me, I mean, really did something to make the dreams reality, I would spend a lot less time sitting around watching sports on TV. Hmm, maybe that isn't such a bad thing.

I believe that we are supposed to become more like Jesus as we follow Him. The way I act sometimes you would think that I am trying to make Him become more like me. What if I acted on the thoughts of compassion and service and love and grace instead of being content to just think them and then assume that the thought is really all that God is looking for?

I believe that this life is to be lived and enjoyed as much as possible in any of our given circumstances. Lately, things have been hard and I have been the crankiest man on the planet. I still have things to be grateful for so, in some ways, I need to get over myself and look at the good in my life.

I could go on for hours, but you get the point, don't you? This question can go to any area of our life that we choose to apply it. I think a lot of us live in the place of thinking one way but, for whatever reasons, acting another way. I am going to try to make a concious effort, with God's help, to have my outward actions line up, as closely as possible, with my inward being.

Walk with me.

Peace.
