The Christian Walk
I read these excerpts from a christian magazine called 'ignite'. It certainly makes sense. Here's some excerpts:
Our daily walk with the Lord is much more important kind of walk than walking or running for exercise. It is not enough to start the Christian race well; finishing well is crucial. Because walking with God is a daily walk, it is easy to grow weary and lose heart at various places in the race.
Some lose heart when it seems like their efforts are not bearing fruit.. Galatians 6:9 encourages us not to lose heart, "And let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we shall reap if we do not grow weary" (NASB).
In your Christian walk and ministry, it is not so much how you begin, but how you finish that matters. Perhaps you are starting your Christian walk. Or you may have started your Christian walk years ago. But there is still a long way to go to the finish. (Rev. Dr Rick Langston)
So what's it like for you? Running or Lagging?
I think we catholics have much to do. We need to grow spiritually, for one. I just see a typical syndrome happening. People go to catechism, acquire head knowledge. For the many, parents might not be their spiritual role models. Then they get confirmed, and they continue going for Sunday mass. But as it is, sunday is the only time they hear about God. During the week, all is forgotten or put to a side.
Where's our faith visible in the real world today?
We need to grow deeper in our faith, our Catholic lives, our beliefs, our determination, our evangelism, our love for others, etc!
