Doing the same thing, expecting a different result is INSANITY

That's right. I feel a lot towards that statement i just made in the title. Yes it's true that in Christ, we will succeed. It's definitely true that in Christ, every failure can be a stepping stone to a bigger success. But i know that a lot of life is decided by the choices and actions we make. Praying and "trusting" God for something to happen is good. Having faith that God will make a way is right. But didn't the Bible say that faith without WORKS is DEAD? Trusting praying and having faith but yet still make no change in choices and actions is going to land you back in the same rut you thought you've climbed out of. A lot of life will be shaped by the SMALLEST and seemingly least significant decisions and actions we make. One thing i desire is for God to make me BIGGER. Isn't that what being Christ-like is all about? It was never meant for us to reach out and evangelize to our friends/family by inviting them to church. That isn't wrong, but that is the LOWEST form of evangelism. Evangelism should take place simply by your very presence. Jesus called us to be the LIGHT of the world. When we lift up the name of Jesus in our lives, we will draw ALL men unto us. No one can resist the presence of Jesus and we are CALLED to carry that with us. Little choices, small actions, taking a little extra mile will go a long, LONG way in making a difference in your and the lives of those around you. Remember, doing the same thing and expecting a different result is complete INSANITY.
