Please tell me that I am not alone

Being a Christian is the biggest joy in life. Not just being one, but to understand the truth and His teaching is great. When we have decided to walk on this path of faith, there will definitely be changes in our life

We started attending church for services and cell groups. We started participating in various church activities. We started serving in ministries. And it would be a greater honour to be called by Him to rise and become leaders. All in all, what we are doing is to understand Him better and to spread His teaching and love to other people. We called our church the second home which in fact is true because we will be spending our weekends there.

BUT!

This is also where the problem comes in, because some people simply do not see the change in us.

Our time spent in church may come to an extent that we become insensitive to what our non believer friends and family feels. Couples serving in church requires their non believer mother-in-law or father-in-law has to help keeping their house in order. Whenever it comes to church events, first thing that comes to our mind is to invite them to attend.

I mean, if you are the one who is invited, would you even consider before answering?

Hell no.

No doubt putting God as priority is crucial, but we should balance out and not neglecting other areas that need your attention. We need to play our role as a child, a student, or a colleague. Serving in ministries doesn’t mean that you can neglect your studies and being rude to parents, not clearing up your messes in the house, being a nuisance to your friends, not being punctual for class and work.

They will be turn off by the fact that they will become like us if there were Christians. If others don’t see the change in us, how are we able to convince them in accepting the same faith?

Or am I the only one feeling this?
