Less like Martha, more like Mary.

¹¹We hear that some among you are idle. They are not busy; they are busybodies. ¹²Such people we command and urge in the Lord Jesus Christ to settle down and earn the bread they eat. ¹³And as for you, brothers, never tire of doing what is right.
2Thessalonians 3:11-13

Sometimes throughout the week, I constantly find myself putting my heart in check. Is my heart at the right place? Am I going to church today for the right reasons? Why do I serve? Did I live as pure and holy as possible today? Sometimes I think that just because I stayed away from drinking and partying, I've been such a good Christian- but that's when I realize that just because I do not do any of those things anymore doesn't mean that I am doing everything I can to be a good Christian. Sometimes I wonder whether I'm serving whole-heartedly and not just being a busybody. The bible says, "Do not put out the Spirit's fire" (1 Thessalonians 5:19)- For the most part I feel that I am so alive in the spirit, but there are times when I feel... stale, for a lack of a better word. And I'm not sure if that's a necessary feeling or I am not doing enough spiritually to not feel that way. I pray for not just a serving heart, but that that serving heart would be solely for God and not for the eyes and approval of men.
