Are we true and resilient Christians, or does our faith require great care, and a very specific set of conditions in which to flourish? Are we like a reed that must have constant water for it to survive, or a barrel cactus that stores the water of infrequent rains within itself, and endures long periods of drought? There are many who are fragile, and whimsical, in their faith, but those who are hearty serve God faithfully, even in the worst of times.
When you gave your life to Christ, did you become a changed person? Did you join with all those who had come before you in reestablishing your life, and allowing Jesus to give you a fresh start? Did you follow Jesus into a righteous and holy life of worshipping God with a His saints? We are meant to leave behind those things that once defined us and become like Christ... Godly, righteous, Holy. Are you wandering alone?
How diligent are we in our faith? Do we only set aside time in the morning to study the Bible, and to pray undisturbed each day? If we do, I certainly hope that Jesus returns to claim His bride in the morning. Routine times of study help us to insure that we spend time in contemplation and prayer, but we should dwell on those things we have studied in the morning as we travel through our day. In this way we remain at the ready, and those around us will see Christ in us.
