Why Do People Do This?

Ok my last day before Thanksgiving break was today. So I decided to go over to my friends house after school cause he wanted me to see his house and see his XBOX 360. Anyways thats not what I am talking about, after my last class I went to go wait on him and this weird lady walked in front of me and did something really strange can't really explain it cause it was just weird the way she was walking and acting. But this guy next to me commented on it and we started laughing. But thats still not what I am wanting to say. After that this girl walks up and they, her and the guy, start talking. Just about some school stuff what they are studying and who they know, then it leads to some stuff that even TV shows will not talk about. It was pretty much the craziest thing I have heard in a long time. I was just standing there wondering what these people were thinking. But then it hit me, they are lost, it should not shock me for the fact that they do not know any better. Thats were I make my mistakes, I have forgotten what it was like to be lost and to remember that they are and its hard for me because I have been a child of God since about eight years old. And for that I am extermly thankful. I can not even imagine what it would be like to be away from God Himself. The thought of it scares me and teriffies me to death. If only we could show people what it is like to be a child of God and just how wonderful it really is then it would make it so much easier to whitness to them, but we can't. This is the part were we give all that we have. I use to try to give all for the sake of being a whitness to others, but lately I have found that thats not what He wants to be our focus. Now don't get me wrong that is one of the great things that does come out of it and should be a reason to give everything that you have, but I think that he wants us to first give it all in order to glorify Him. And of course in turn becomes a whitness to the lost world. Now why do I think this is important, because to many times I have found myself doing things for others in a senes to show off or to make myself look like a great person. Which is kind of weird cause most people do "bad" things in order to show off or impress others, but I guess that all has to do with the fact that I have been Gods child for so many years I am not sure oh well. Anyways so I have been working on doing it for God as if He were the only one watching, which actully turns out to be an even bigger whitness to people. They can actually tell that you really enjoy the way you live and that there is something diffrent about you. So my encouragement is this, Stop looking around and start looking up. I know it sounds really corny but its the only way I can think of to put it right now. Who gives a crap what peole say or think this life is going to come to an end and once you get that in your head I promise you will start to act diffrent in the best way possible. Thats what God taught me today.....


..... What is He teaching you?
