I think this is going to be a long one...
Lately I've been thinking a lot about how we hold value to material things. Especially with Jonathan being in Africa, reading their trip blog updates about how Joy is found in our relationships with those around us. This was brought further on Thursday during bible study when we went out to the district to observe and confront those around us. It came up in our discussions how we hold so much value to things such as music, and media and stores. Thinking about his put me in an inner struggle with work. Because thats what I do: promote, create, and advertise material goods. I know God put me in the place i'm in for a reason,but what reason is that? Am I suppose to wait till God reveals his plan? Or do I take action on a plan and let God guide me?
I know there's more to this life, but what is it?
One thing that bothers me, more of another struggle/barrier, is what makes our religion correct over another? Why does our religion have to be right? Maybe what I'm writing isn't coming out clearly. If I know my religion is right, and some one else knows their religion is right, how much do I force my beliefs on them? Do I simply state my beliefs and live and let be? Or is it my duty to jam it down their throats? How much of this is our own pride?
The Bible says, "Seek me with all your heart and you will find me."
....nothing yet. I'll keep trying.
