Work, Not Play

[futuresoldier]

No pain, no gain- the least sacrifices and efforts have the least effect.

Finally the Great One has given me the Holy Spirit full power. This is because I have realised that serving him won't be easy.

Those of you that are cruising along comfortably through life, obeying God's commands and doing the odd good deed here and there need to buck your ideas up. Too many people think that being a Christian will help you to be happy during your mortal life- WRONG- It's about working to serve Jesus, living ONLY for Jesus. So give up ALL your recreation and devote ALL to serving God- don't quit just because its hard.

I will post more about this as time goes on.

Do you all see what I mean?

 

[Didymus]

I think so Jesus never said life would be easy serving Him but only that He would be with us *through* our troubles. I think we all need a little done time though to test and recharge. I am sure even Jesus took breaks.

Yes indeed, there are four types of break/recharge etc.: eating, sleeping, reading the bible, and doing recreational stuff that helps you serve God (eg. fitness if you are a police/fireman etc., philosophy if you are a vicar, and so on.)

Of course, I'm not so good myself- often do things wrong that I have put down here. Just thought I'd tell all what Jesus has taught me. Its' not easy, but I only stopped sinning 16 minutes ago now, so I have a lot to do to enter His Kingdom.

But
