Burdened.

geez....go back to school, meet a friend for coffee, and I'm reminded of the evidence that we're smack in the middle of a decaying planet, surrounded by people that don't realize we're in the end times and their lives are short. =/
I'm not discouraged, just convicted/reminded/admonished to speak LIFE while I still have the chance...

A call to persevere

¹⁷But, dear friends, remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ foretold. ¹⁸They said to you, "In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly desires." ¹⁹These are the men who divide you, who follow mere natural instincts and do not have the Spirit.

²⁰But you, dear friends, build yourselves up in your most holy faith and pray in the Holy Spirit. ²¹Keep yourselves in God's love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life.

²²Be merciful to those who doubt; ²³snatch others from the fire and save them; to others show mercy, mixed with fear—hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh. ~Jude

God isn't surprised, and He doesn't want us to be.

¹⁹And I'll say to myself, "You have plenty of good things laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry." '

²⁰"But God said to him, 'You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?' (Luke 12)

I'm unbelievably blessed and favored, not in a dreary state at all (mentally nor geographically speaking). I just want to readjust my priorities and let go of every possible thing that could be keeping me from letting someone else see the Light through me.

Blessed are the hungry
You said it, I believe it
Hunger is the escort
To the deeper things of You
