“No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon. - Matthew 6:24 NKJV
Sometimes one just has to get angry. To recognize what one has been doing. The choice they make everyday that's been in vain. Have to get angry sometimes to make that choice one knows they need to make. A line they have to draw in the sand, to say no more.
Afterlife - Switchfoot
Personal conviction
I been trying to walk a line between worlds. The reluctant hero and the intentional virtual hero. The Lord has called me out of my sin and my brokenness, to take the fire in my heart to stand in the gap for others who are victimized. Yet, it's so easy to say forget it all, and jump into a virtual world where everything is safe. Where no real risk involved.
Time and time again, the Lord reveals to me that I what I do in video games is me playing out my calling. My flesh wants people to leave me alone, and just let loose in my favorite games. My passion is helping people with their problems, I make a great support class. Most of the time if there is something I know that can help someone else, I am compelled to help them.
I just don't have the patience with lot things that are required to make it in real life.
I feel like I don't belong here. I dare to believe, try to make a stand, and it all falls apart. I been given a vision, I seen the future, yet I don't see it here. I try to be there for others, but life happens and they don't need me.
Then I am wondering why bother, call me when you need me. I go off into my own world, but a consequence is I am out of shape for this world. The call arise, and I follow the leading, then I find my knowledge of the Word is dull. My emotional strength is out the door because staying up too late at night. Be bored, or be useless.
There has to be an answer to this. My flesh doesn't like what it is. I have to make a choice.
