I think about the things that I should do to give myself more completely to Jesus, and I dream about the kind of person I might become if I were to do that, and the possible positive effect I might have on those around me. I realize what a better servant to the Lord i would become. I realize that I really like that idea, I do want to become a better servant and honor God and serve and love those around me. But I don't want it enough to actually make the sacrifices and changes necessary. I do desire to love and serve the Lord, but that desire is not passionate. So, i've realized that I need to start at the beginning. I need to actually desire the desire to change! And, I've only just realized (thanks again to Donald Miller), that that desire for the desire can't come from me. I can actually ask God to begin creating that desire in me. And I have a sneaky feeling that when I do that, I had better hold on to my hat because as we all know, when we ask God for something, He promises to deliver...and it's usually in a way I would never expect. So, hold on to your hat April!, you're in for a wild ride... I was just explaining to a friend the other day about a dilemma that seems similar to yours.
