Christ Like Walk

Forgiveness is something we struggle with. Perhaps the sheer amount of pain, chaos, anguish, and/or trauma others' actions can cause creates this barrier for us. What we have been taught, understood, and/or had exemplified for us may be shaping our misunderstanding of forgiveness.  There could be a thousand reasons why we don't do it or struggle with it. So, what does Jesus teach about it?

Dedicating 18 minutes a day for 365 days a year can place an individual in the top 80–90% globally, largely because most people quit after just 10 hours. Considering that approximately 90% of what is heard is forgotten within a week, even consistent attendance at all services and standard Bible studies results in retaining only about 16.5–18 minutes of knowledge weekly. At that rate, it would take around 7 years to reach the top 80–90%, and likely longer, as much of that time is spent learning instructions rather than applying them. Reaching the top 95–99% would require about 35 years. World-class mastery at the top 1% would take 91 years at the 18 minutes a day pace. Meanwhile, the world, Satan, and darkness already operate at the elite, world-class level.

Habits are daily unconscious actions we take. In Christ, God, desires us to have a life full of godly unconscious actions. What are your godly habits? 

 Making Christianity Reflexive
We think we are stuck. We think all our actions or thoughts are just how we are. What if they aren't? What if they could change?

We often ask questions for many different reasons. However, there is an attitude we all need to have when asking these questions. That attitude is that "understanding requires effort and desires for full comprehension." Only then can we succeed in our curiosity. 

Developing the attitude of seeking the lost that Jesus had. As Jesus clearly stated, "for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost." Luke 19:10

We do not have to walk around like crazed ravenous animals seeking and meeting just our fleshly needs.

We can even do things that God asks us to do and make them meaningless.

Christian Inactivity is the real horror.
