All

Poverty, crime, pain, suffering...I see these things and I wonder: "What is Jesus waiting on". Then for others I have a theological explanation on living in a fallen world and I'll mention original sin and how we've ruined God's perfect plan for us. All of which I believe but I think sometimes I say them out loud to convince myself. So back to: "What is Jesus waiting on"...he's waiting on me.

I want the benefit of being a Follower of Christ--such as salvation, peace, joy and the like--but I want to retain a little independence as well. We all want to hold on to part of ourselves for ourselves, and I know I want to control the tempo of my discipleship. "I'll do that when the kids get older, I'll start doing that when I have more time, **insert more excuses here**”.

If I ask myself "Does Jesus have 100% of my heart?" I don't like the answer. My thoughts, behaviors and dreams...are they mine or His?

Truth is Jesus desires more of me than I've given Him to this point. He wants it ALL. Sometimes I wonder what Jesus is waiting on...he's waiting on me.
