My Grand Adventure

Tonight has been the night of deep thoughts. Or of thoughts that I dwell on so much that they seem deep to me. If your heart has grown cold, will being in God's will seem unpleasant to you?

I know that God gives us the desires of our hearts. I know that when we're out of his will, we will eventually feel the lack of him and decide we are doing everything in vain. I know that when we're in God's will, even during trials, we know it will be worth it. But, my question is, if our hearts become hardened to spiritual things, are we unhappy even if we're in God's will? I know that people have reasons as to why their hearts are hard. Some have been hurt my Christians. Some have been burnt out. Some have been mistreated by the church. Some have seen so many people over-spiritualize their lives for a pure show. Whatever the reason, if you're hearts hard to God's people, is your heart hard to God? What does it take to make someone realize how much God is calling them to greatness when their heart is so hardened to it all? I know that things aren't always fair or pleasant. I know people misuse power and leadership, even in Christian settings. But I know that God is greater than them. He will still use the institution even if the leadership is mis-using his name. He will judge them for their actions in the end. We are all responsible for ourselves and how well we followed Christ and listened to the voice of God. It's heartbreaking, you know, to see someone with such a great call upon their lives completely shut down when people talk about spiritual things.

Something has to change in the church and in this nation. I can't sit back and watch others let their lives pass them by because they are full of bitterness and complacency. The cost is too high. Something has to change...
