Thursday, August 28, 2008 ( Being intolerant of mediocrity @ 9:27 PM ) I had been reading a book lately and this part of the book ministers and reminded me about lot's of things. This part of the book talks about mediocrity. "mediocrity" comes form the root word "mediocrite" The meaning of mediocrite is: 1. of only ordinary or moderate quality; neither good nor bad; barely adequate. 2. rather poor or inferior. What do you think of your relationship with Christ? What do you think of the way you are living for Christ? what do you think of your service for Christ? ok? can lah? passable? doing just the right amount, enough to satisfy people who are looking at us or holding us accountable? here's something from the book: "God asks us to be intolerant of mediocrity in out life. How does that look in real life? Mediocrity is living the status quo. it's playing it safe. it's settling. it's patronizing ourselves. it's excusing ourselves. it's fearing something so much that we are willing to never experience it and all its benefits in exchange for the safe comfort we already know." consider the verse at the beginning of this post. Are you living with all your heart, soul and strength for the Lord or are you reserving it because of any reasons? Lately in life, things became tiring and taxing, sometimes i feel that everything is so demanding. to constantly move out of my comfort zone to love people more, be kinder to patients, more hardworking in sch work and ministry, take the effort to communicate and relate more with ministry workers, sharing the gospel, lesser sleep for myself.. Urgh.. i really don't want anything so hard in life, i rather have a easy life to just do things my pace, my way.... Yet i was reminded that if i am just going to live my life my way and within my comfort zone, i'll never experience where my Lord will want to bring me to, what He will me to grow in. Worst, i'll never grow in trusting Him and never understands His grace =D What about you? what's your attitude in life? settling for the sidelines of life? or pushing your boundaries to sacrifices more , moving out of your comfort zone more? Do you even find it hard to give time in basic things like nurturing your own spiritual walk and your relationship with God?? May our Lord constantly remind us not to tolerate attitude of mediocrity and even when we once and again fail Him, may His grace and mercy lift us up to help us continue in our christian journey. May God have mercy on us. 0 comments |
