Hello Beautiful people,
The Easter period is over and i hope that many of us had a lot of time to reflect on our lives and the importance and the magnitude of the sacrifice that God gave to save your life. With that being said, i find it pertinent that we talk about passive living.
It is possible to go your whole life barely awake. It is possible to just get by and not actively participate in the happenings of your life. I say this because i spent a little over a decade of my life asleep. I just let things flow, wherever the direction of the wind headed, i went with it. Passive living is not actively participating in the happenings of your life. I can tell you, decisions concerning my life were made by other people and I went with whatever decision they made. Its not difficult to live a passive life really. Getting to this place is most likely a traumatic experience or lack of meaning in life. Your life has meaning, you're not an accident or mistake. You can move from this kind of life to a different one. There is a way out of passive living.
It took me a while to wake up but it happened. It wasn't one of those "ahah" moment's but God gradually woke me up from this deep sleep. God brought someone into my life, after a series of dreams and interpretations, that finally led to my awakening. Being awake means you decide in which direction you want your life to go. You make the decisions and actively take responsibility for what you say and do. It started happening day by day until I became an active participant in my own life.
Our life is our story to the world and how it all ends is entirely upto you. The decisions we make, the choices are major factors in how your story unfolds. Letting God be a part of your life while be the greatest decision you ever make. We have the Holy Spirit to guide us and intercede on our behalf. We have a helping hand and a friend to see us through this process. You don't have to be afraid to live your life. I know sometimes its scary because you fear you'll make a bunch of wrong decisions which will mess up your life and the clean up is not particularly exciting. Being afraid of making mistakes is no way to live. You can't spend your whole life afraid, you will never be happy, you're probably unhappy right now. You must believe there is a way out of your slump, you must want something for your life. You must have dreams that you'd like to have fulfilled. The only way you can wake up is to let Jesus in, He will transform your life and you will never be the same again. It's not too late to change the direction of your life.
You are one decision away from a totally different life.
