After spending days reading, putting down, picking up, staring at the cover, putting down.....I am finished reading THE FORGOTTEN GOD by Francis Chan. What on earth possessed him to write this book? I mean really! Read it at your own peril.
So now what? Here is the question that I just cannot get out of my head....."How much of my life do I want the HOLY SPIRIT to control?" Yeah, go ahead and answer that one fast....I dare you.
It's easy to say all of it. And say it quickly, and then rethink it. I can honestly say, I don't know how much. Can HE control my mouth? Wouldn't that be interesting. Can HE control my thoughts? Can I really have the mind of Christ all the time? What about what I do with my time.....with my money....with my life? How about that movie that I really want to see-Does HE want to see it too?
So, I will start small....I will give HIM my focus in my prayer time. I will ATTEMPT to ask HIM before I do anything. It's hard going to someone to ask if HE wants me to do whatever....what if HE says no? Then I can't do it.....submission is difficult. At least I am brave enough to admit that I am struggling with this. I WANT Him to be in control...just not so much.....my humanity is fighting my divinity....
Get the book, read it and then you are responsible....PLEASE someone else be with me in this misery.......
