Starting to see that I've wasted a ton of time getting too caught up in silly things that do nothing for my walk with Christ..or anybody else's. I get caught up in stupid little controversial things that arent real issues and don't involve me serving Christ in any way..it doesnt matter if I'm even in the right or not. I'm seeing more and more all the time what following Christ entails..not always in the specific, day-to-day stuff, but in the general, life-encompassing idea. I fall so short and really want to change. These minor stupid things dont even make me feel good in the long run. I want to be more wholeheartedly devoted to growing and serving.
"So flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart. 23 Have nothing to do with foolish, ignorantcontroversies; you know that they breed quarrels. 24 And the Lord's servant[e] must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone,able to teach, patiently enduring evil, 25 correcting his opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth, 26 and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, after being captured by him to do his will." ~2Timothy 2:22-6
I'm not sure, but I feel like these verses may be more referring to types of controversies that are different from what I face..but it still seems like a good principal all the same.
