No matter how hard you may believe it to be true...you cannot have the 'best' of both worlds.
Matthew 6:24 says, ""No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money."
Many times I feel like we want to be followers of Christ, but only when it is beneficial to the image of our lives we think we deserve. We want to stand firm knowing our identity is in Christ and yet we place our identity in our work or family or success. We want things to look a way we picture in our minds, and then we tell God we want Him to do what is best for us. We cannot have both.
Do you want Christ to increase and you to truly decrease? (John 3:30) Or do you want to keep playing a game? Where have you grounded your feet? in this world? or in the hope of Christ?
We have to go from tourists to pilgrims in our faith.

I love the title of this entry! :)
Good thoughts-thanks for sharing! I don't want to be a tourist of the faith either-there's just so much more waiting for us.
