the price of Christianity
What do you think the price is for Christianity? Is it giving up something that you want so bad that you can't seem to let go? Is it something that consumes your mind so much that it is all you can think about? What is that hold on you that you cannot let God have everything? Being someone who knows that having something hold on to you so tight that you cannot let go for God, it is not worth it. In the last two days I have gotten rid of a lot of materialistic things and emotional things so I can just enjoy my time with God and not be distracted from it. In fact, today, I was so excited to get off work so I could go home and read "When God Writes Your Love Story". I could not wait to see what He had in store for me. In all honesty, I am still reading and writing about how I feel about His lessons for me it has been over 2 hours of just indulging myself with what He wants for me. It is such an exciting experience in order to share this with Him. My question, is why would you want anything else? Do yourself a favor, get rid of those thoughts, that cd, that addiction and just give everything to God. Just see what He has for your without all that junk. Focusing on Him and His plans for your is so worth it, you won't even remember why you started without Him in the first place.

Im totally feeling the same way right now. Sometimes it can be hard to get rid of things that have been habit in our lives...but once they are out of the way, it is so rewarding though to know the benefits of getting rid of them and focusing on God. Who wrote that book? Sounds like a real good book just by the title. There are so many distractions that will try to get in the way..Satan definitely tries to work overtime on us. But, ultimately, he cant do that and God rewards us :) Love reading your blogs...im relating to so much of this :)
I know right?! I'm glad that you are able to relate to these. I'm trying to use this opportunity as a ministry and I think it'll be interesting to see how God uses it. Eric and Leslie Ludy wrote it. I have it marked up with highlights and small notes. This is my second time reading it and I'm understanding it this time.
