#check -in Time: #Christians On #TheMighty
Well, let me check-in with you all. Currently, I am walking through yet another tough season. Without much detail, I am medically better but unemployed due to a work injury. Had an employment interview scheduled today but the interviewer failed to arrive at the virtual interview. Nice.đ! The day turned into a somewhat emotionally draining day after that experience.
However, after a brief analysis, I find that I still seek to become someone who gains praises from others. This trait is revealed each time I happen upon some social media site or even hear a Christian speaker or musician introduced. The verbal resumes full of accomplishments tend to breed one foundational reaction in me: coveting!
This coveting is often revealed in prayers like, âLord, when will I reach my destinyâ or âFather, I canât wait to be released to reach the massesâŚfor your glory.â Riiiight.
My coveting prayers are not voiced in those exact words. But I truly slide into a place of despair when I start my comparisons with those âcelebrityâ followers of Christ. As Christ reminds of his fate on this earth as I think of the upcoming holiday: Easter, which has nothing to do with sugary bunny rabbit treats. đ!
Actually, asking God the Father and The Christ to make me a famous âChrist-likeâ person is a bit ironic considering his âfamousâ death allows me the luxury of even conversing with the Most Holy Lord. Hmmm? Christ celebrity status was based on him giving up his statusâŚright?đ¤
So, after relaxing, I hop on this site. Share my heart. Expose my inward drive, fueled often by competition, that is really the driving motivation urging me to be like Christ, in front of others, according to my will being done. No condemnation, really. I am just tired of me pouting about anotherâs life even after reading Jesusâs last words in the book of John: paraphrasing- Peter, if I ask him to do something what is that to you??? đ!
I hope my shared thoughts stir others to dialogue with me, in the comments, as we walk through life together, facing the storms, whilst remaining close to #TheMighty One! I could handle your prayers for peace and employment. â¤ď¸
