Do you remember your first love?

After reading James 4:14, which speaks about our lives being a mist that appears for a little while then vanishing I started thinking about the past few months and the different things that have been happening in my life and in the lives of those around me. Why do we make every provision for a tomorrow that may not come, yet the ultimate end that awaits each and every human we shrug off and pretend it does not exist? Maybe we missed something. We do not have the excitement that we should. We do not act as people that have been radically transformed by God's grace. Just a reminder if in fact you do claim to be a Christian he has given you a life that does not compare to any dollar amount. Maybe we live in an age where we have become not only desensitized to the world, but desensitized also to the richness of God. Perhaps the time has come for us to examine our heart to see if we need to rediscover this God who saves us.

Ok

James 1:19 - 20 (NIV) "My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, for man's anger does not bring the righteous life that God desires."

Ok so after memorizing James 1 random parts have come back to me and well some was encouraging, and some, like this passage, was simply convicting. Last Sunday at youth I showed up angry, angry with them and let's just say it was not exactly what God wanted. When God called me back to that church I was kind of sad because I really loved my old church. Anyways going to a youth group to change things for the better is seriously impared when one (such as myself) goes in and blows up. Oh, I kept on my good little church girl face, I have learned that one at least, but it was at least to upset the small group leader. So I screwed up and now I have to make amends and it will not be fun.
