"So be careful how you live. Don't live like fools, but like those who are wise. Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days. Don't act thoughtlessly, but understand what the Lord wants you to do. Don't be drunk with wine, because that will ruin your life. Instead, be filled with the Holy Spirit..." (Ephesians 5:15-18)
In this diverse culture, We millenials are peculiar in our own ways. Adulting? Is it necessary?, Is it ok to dangle on our fantasies? What Is Reality? We share the same questions yet we spoke different answers while we simultaneously read this questions. Reality truly is harsh, you need to be more assertive and more decisive in order to seize the opportunity.
"Dont act thoughtlessly, but understand what the Lord wants you to do." Whenever a thread of hope reappears, u hold on to it but the moment you hold grasp of it, dissapears?God tells us that we should not seize all the thread at once. If its not meant for you its always ok to let go.
I noticed that many people nowadays dont seek God for guidance even with all the time they have, but instead doing their own selfish things and blame it on God.
Now going back to the main question, what will i do to become a responsible christian?
*Distinguishing myself between Right Or Wrong. We grow more knowledgeable, still we somehow lose our battle. For example (this will give us a wider point of view) a lost wallet. given the circumstances you are poor and religous. But how will you face this problem? This is not a problem my friend but a mere battle between your conscience.
*Always thank God everyday, just by waking up every morning eating breakfast with your family is a blessing. Undeniably, challenges is a blessing too, we learn, we bring our potential, we couldnt yesterday. Thanking God before we eat, Before we sleep, whenever a great wave comes within the shore. God is always with us.
* Responsibility includes having the right attitude and manner, this is the most crucial piece because things u always do reflects on what will happen to you. Most people neglect these nowadays, people want it to go their own way. Thats why for me, we need these 3 piece in order to become a responsible christian and whom you can look up to someday.
