The New Life

Truly living as a Christian is never easy. It really is an entirely new life, once turned completely over to the Lord. At times it is like awaking from a very long coma- still unsure of surroundings, what to do, how to act- there is the constant feeling of sudden responsibility, weakness in areas that still need strengthening, a long road ahead. There is also a partial desire to go back to the "safety" of the hospital bed you've awoken from. It was so much easier than what now lies ahead: the "physical therapy", the re-learning everything, the months of struggle and battles that surely awaits . . . but who on earth would honestly go back to simply existing day after day? Better to press forward and get stronger, no matter how difficult it will be. Once He awakens you from the slumber, there is no going back to sleep. He expects Great Things.
