I don't want to give up what I like doing

This was one of the biggest issues I used to deal with.  I was afraid of leading a boring life and missing out on my college years.  (The best four years of my life, right?)  But if I already assumed I'd have to give up some things, I already knew they were wrong.  I believe in absolute truth.  We all know right from wrong- it's in our conscience.  If your desires are holding you back from surrendering your life to Christ, don't let them stop you!  Life with Christ means freedom and purpose!  It means experiencing a love that this world simply cannot provide.  We're all looking for the same thing, and we're searching in all the wrong places: boyfriends/girlfriends, sports, good grades, jobs, social status, food, shopping, whatever else.  How do we find what we're looking for? John 10:10 "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy.  I came that they may have life and have it more abundantly."


To put our desires before the truth of Christ is to buy into the age-old deception.  "We don't need God- we can be our own god."  It's a matter of putting your will before God's will.  This is so appealing to us.  But you don't have to live in the world for long to realize that its' promises are false, and its' paths to happiness and salvation are also false.  James 1:17 "Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows."  Even though I was scared to give up the things I wanted to do, I knew that this life is just a rat race.  Always running, never arriving.  Getting filled up while running empty.  It's a continuous cycle.
