I just checked, and my already low readership is dwindling. I'm sure part of it has to be the recent number of uninteresting, frankly uninspired posts that I've done. Lately, it's felt like more and more of a chore to do this blog. I've also fallen back into my old pattern of writing so much about work, something of which I promised to do less.
I don't want to sit here and make excuses (although it certainly seems like that's what I'm doing). So now, let's start over again.
…
I'm thinking more and more about this coming Saturday. I'm looking forward to it, although I'm still facing the same temptation as before, which is not to go. It's wrong for me not to go for so many reasons. First, I said I would go; I'm committed. Second, I need the fellowship. Scripture reminds us not to forsake the gathering of the brethren, as some do (Hebrews 10:25). It's still all too easy for me not to engage others as I should, especially considering that those opportunities have been few and far between lately. Third, I need to be around others if I'm going to love them as I should. I need to love by brothers and sisters, and I am enriched by the experience of their love for me. On top of that, we are honoring to God when we love as we should.
I pray that I would make the most of the opportunities The Lord gives me. I want to be glorifying to God, but I need to be making the effort.
