Stagnant

How hard and stressful it is to live in the world when we have one foot in the physical and one foot in the spiritual! This makes life stagnant, a life that is not moving or flowing; motionless. This is what it is like to live with any part of ourselves in the physical telling ourselves that we are what we have, what others think about us, and what we do. This does not make our lives move forward. It only serves to make them feel and be motionless. Oh, but if we could totally give ourselves to the spiritual - how rich, how forward, and how rich our lives could be.

"I know you inside and out, and find little to my liking. You're not cold, you're not hot—far better to be either cold or hot! You're stale. You're stagnant. You make me want to vomit. You brag, 'I'm rich, I've got it made, I need nothing from anyone,' oblivious that in fact you're a pitiful, blind beggar, threadbare and homeless.

Revelation 3:15-17

Jesus speaking to us telling us that we have to pick a way to live. We can have all the things that seem to make life move forward, but really they do not propel us anywhere. This is because reality and real life is really in the spiritual. This is what will last. This is what makes life move forward. We do not change the world, morally or otherwise, by gaining things for ourselves. We do not have a chance to change one thing by worrying about what we have, what others think of us, or what we do.

We can only change the world by changing ourselves. When we change ourselves, living completely in the spiritual world, we find a life of peace that is really changed! We no longer worry about being taken care of, pleasing people, or making sure we are in the right career. We become comsumed with loving others, forgiving others, and allowing others to be on the path that God has placed them on. People are then attracted to that change. They want to know how to get there themselves. What you did to get there and how God shows up.

Be stagnant no longer and place both feet inside the world of the spiritual. Jump off the cliff and allow God to catch you and move you to where God will. Be the peace you want. Be the love you want. Be the forgiveness you need. Be the faith you need. Watch how your life moves forward when both feet find the place they need to be and a decision is made to go one way. It is impossible to go two ways - how stressfully hard and stagnant this half lived life is.
