IMPOLITE.

Good character is more to be praised than outstanding talent. Most talents are, to some extent, a gift. Good character, by contrast, is not given to us. We have to build it, piece by piece - by thought, choice, courage, and determination.

—John Luther (via noeeeee)

This is what my heart screams.: "Faith WITHOUT work is dead." James 2:17

It couldn’t be any more straightforward than this. These words strike me in the heart with conviction. I realize the wrong I’ve done. Can I simply ask God for a miracle, without lifting a single finger of effort? Of course not! And if I were to treat my dreams and prayers as though they were crops, how can I gather them, if I don’t work? If I’m always so passive and lazy, nothing can be done. And maybe all there would be, is a mess. So it all starts when I make the effort. Then the mustard seed of faith I have, will work its ways.

Ecclesiastes 11:4 “Anyone who keeps on watching the wind won’t plant seeds. Anyone who keeps looking at the clouds won’t gather crops.”

Luke 9:62 “Jesus replied, ‘Suppose you start to plow and then look back. If you do, you are not fit for service in God’s kingdom.’”

Be the change you want to see.

I know, there are several things that I want to change in myself. All because, God convicts my heart. Change starts when I take that first step. God, guide me through this.
