How can I live for You?
How can I be like You daily?
What does it mean to You?
How can I be Christ like everyday?
I have my moments
Sometimes I’m pumped and energized,
My flesh is starved
While my spirit is active.
On those days I pray with a revelation.
I speak wisdom that even surprises me,
It’s easy to get Lost in your presence
And I’m willing to do whatever You ask.
Then there are slow days
Nothing major happening
Nothing bad or nothing good
Just my discipline slowly fading.
I’d pray mindlessly and religiously
And read my Bible obligatory
I don’t feel anything
It’s not bad, but it’s not good.
There are bad days & even worse
Where I willingly slip away
To satisfy my minds cravings
Submitting myself to distractions.
I know what to do
But it’s always a drag to get them done.
And when I do, the distractions are heavy
And unfortunately it gets me everytime.
This is my Everyday life in cycles.
Surge of momentum
Weakness of pleasures
Battle of Distractions.
What does it mean to live for Christ daily?
I seem to have it on lock on some weekends
And maybe some days of the week.
But It’s been a struggle daily.
Can I tell you my fears?
Should I suppress these desires?
Should I feign strength
Can I come in my weakness?
What are Your expectations?
Am I living below them?
Are there things You think I should’ve outgrown
Should I be pressed by people expectations?
What would Jesus do?
Guilt tells me but He wasn’t this bad
Shame whispers — but you already did.
Society says I should do me.
My Bible tells me Jesus can relate
That I am righteous because He made me
I am free because He set me
When I’m tempted he’ll strengthen me.
Living Christ like daily
Is not about a flawless devotion
Or a filled spirit always on motion
Or some prayer perfection.
It means submitting myself daily to His word
It’s not about suppressing my feelings
Or denying the reality
It’s submitting it all to His word.
On slow days
Can I drag myself to what His word says?
When I get those urges
Can I feel bold & free to share with him?
On the good days
Will I acknowledge Him as my source?
When I fall, Will I run to Him or from Him?
On bad days will I still trust His word?
Being Christ like daily
Is not a daily destination
It’s not a task or a to do activity
It is Identity.
Knowing who we are
No matter how the day goes
Or how it doesn’t.
It’s being rooted in His Word.
