Brrrrr....that is really all I can say right now! Goodness gracious alive it is freeeeeeezing outside! Me and a co-worker were laughing yesterday wondering where all this global warming is that we have heard so much about the past few years because as far as we can tell Alabama has now become Antarctica!
Just out of curiosity I wondered if the Bible said anything about being cold and I was astonished at what I found. Check this out..."I know you inside and out, and find little to my liking. You're not cold, you're not hot — far better to be either cold or hot! You're stale. You're stagnant. You make me want to vomit." Revelation 3:15-16 (MSG). Wow! I've never really thought about it this way before.
So many times I feel that straddling the fence or just being "okay" is good enough, but you know what? It's not! It's like a lukewarm shower...I would rather take a cold shower so that I can freeze and get it over with or take a nice long warm shower but if the water is lukewarm it drives me insane! It's just cold enough to annoy me yet warm enough to make me wish I had more!
I am feeling my way through this thing we call life and every single day God shows me something new about myself. Some things I embrace and absolutely love but then other things I don't like so much and today is one of those days. I don't want to be lukewarm! I want to be on fire for my Savior! I want to be warm in His arms! I want to be...me! What are you? Are you lukewarm?
