Things Being Tough.

I spent the better part of my life wanting life to be easy, hoping life would get easier, and doing everything possible to make life as easy as I could. But now, I wonder why we all aim for that so much? I don't want an easy life anymore. None of my perfect Savior's life was easy so why should mine be? I was hugely reminded last night driving home why I am here and by here I don't mean earth, but here in Hinesville. Guys, all of you are going to feel your heart break over something or someone and you will all get to that place where you must choose whether you will harden your heart and let life slide into monotony and being lukewarm or forsake everything to follow Him who called you in the beginning. It is a tough choice either way because either way you lose something great. You either lose the ability to serve others completely or in choosing to serve them by loving Jesus with your whole heart you then forsake yourself. We all expect to have long lives with plenty of time to make decisions and fix mistakes, but what if we only have twenty years or five or what if we only have today? We all hear people say no one is promised tomorrow, but do any of us ever really think that? We should. Serve today, love today, decide today. What if today is all we have?
