Currently pondering...

"What does it mean?
To really live for Jesus
What does it mean?
To abandon all else in pursuit of Him
What does it mean?
When I say 'I am surrendered'
What does it mean?
To cry out in Jesus name

What is the difference
Between normal and set apart?
What is the difference
Between staying or going?
What is the difference
Between living for or dying to self?

When we say
'I am a Christian'
Do we really mean it?
When we say 'I follow Jesus'
Is it just sometimes or every step of the way?When we say 'I gave it to Him'
Was it all or just a part?
When we say 'I will die for Him'
Do we mean just literally or can we die to self each day?When we say 'I serve the Living Savior'Is is just words or do we live it out each day?”

Something to think about...

“Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word , in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity.”

1 Timothy 4:12

Those are deep questions! To answer them is something that I can't really sum up in a few words. But definitely things we need to ponder in the Christian life.

Thanks for the challenge, Katy! :)
I think a big part of this is how we live - we can believe and know all we like, but until it comes out in our actions, it doesn't really mean anything...
God bless you!

Very insightful and encouraging, yet simply put. I especially like the part about really being set-apart. :)
