Are you Born-again?
Do you really love God?
Or are you just playing the part cuz that's what is expected of you?
Has the Joy of your salvation faded into a dreary routine of read this book that book?
Do you understand that it's Ok to be Happy in the Lord Jesus?
Do you seek him as he really is, the everlasting satisfaction of your soul?
Are you seeking the pleasures of God for this life only? then you are to be most pittied!
It is not for this life we look for or work for our treasure but in heaven. If you have trusted in the gospel for this life only; for example "Jesus will help you be a better bussinessman, carpenter, doctor, he will make you succesful, he will make my family nicer, he will make me loose weight"
If that is why you trusted Jesus be afraid! Jesus came that we might have life! You were DEAD in your tresspasses... The wages of sin is DEATH!
Jesus did not come to make you a better person he came to WAKE THE DEAD! he came to give eternal life... "and this is eternal life that we might KNOW God". Know him? The great I AM, Creator of the universe, Almighty God? yes! He is JEALOUS for HIS glory in your life! and to quote John Piper, God is most Glorified when we are most satisifed in him!
Pray: God circumscize my heart that I might love you! Cut away every distraction to your Glory in my life. You bought me out of hell with your blood, make me a slave to righteousness forever satisfied in my master Jesus!
