Wake Up Call.

At my church today, my pastor's sermon was titled, "Wake Up!!" And, it truly was a wake up call for me. That I need to wake up spiritually and I need to wake up my heart. My problem now, though, is that fear's got a grip on my heart and it's holding me captive. Fear of.... not being accepted by God. Well, I know that God will accept me. He already has. I just haven't realized that yet. I need to not live in fear. Especially this fear.... It's what's causing me to be dead in my relationship with God.

This brings me to another wake up call: Forgiveness. I need to be forgiving some people and asking some people to forgive me. If I forgive others, God will forgive me. And, I need that. I need his forgiveness and grace. His grace is suffiecient. So, I know that his forgiveness must be too. God has always been faithful to me. I need to commit to him and start forgiving.

Yet, another wake up call that came from today's sermon: Obedience. I need to obey God. Fully. 100% of the time. No exceptions/excuses. God wants us to be obedient to him. What God wants, God's gonna get. That's how I see it. He wants my obedience. I'm gonna try with all my might to obey him, then. I need to not redefine what obedience looks like. It is what it is.

Dear God, Please help me to take these wake up calls that you have convicted me with and apply them to my life. Help me to know the right direction to go. Keep me on the path that you want me to be on. Help me. Help me to grow closer to you and never turn back. Let me give my all to you after learning what I did today. I need you God.
