To the Christians who want to do something with their lives:
Ever watch a movie or anime, or read a book with an interesting plot and wish that could be you doing all those cool things? Well, you can relate to those plots and characters. Your life has ups and downs just like the movies and books have ups and downs like deaths, pain, happiness, love. The characters are inflicted with emotional pain, and you might be able to relate to something like that in your life. Personally, I watch am watching anime and stuff. I always think, "man, i could be the hero, and save people, or maybe take a bullet for someone i love." If you watch an anime, or movie about the character training up to be strong, then it becomes the exact same thing if you view it in a Christian way. The characters do pushups and punching, kicking, etc. for training, but what can you do? If you think about it, then what you need to do is read the bible, pray, speak out! It might seem so much easier if you just do pushups and kicking whatever, and so hard to read the bible, pray, and preach, but they both require discipline and a forced start to begin the training exercises. When you first begin it, you are tempermental, and wonder why am i doing this..i could be watching T.V. or hanging out with my friends, but when you keep forcing yourself, it becomes a natural routine that gets longer. For example, in my life, i didnt always read the bible every single day, and i didnt read a lot, maybe only a chapter or two. Then as i kept reading day by day, a chapter by chapter, i read more and more. And now, even though i dont always read everyday(working on it) and dont read a lot, sometimes i find myself unable to stop reading. I just end up reading past the chapter i wanted to end at. When you do this, you begin to understand more about why you are who you are and why your a Christian. You also begin to receive messages from God, though it may be confusing, it begins to clear up sooner or later. When youve got all this down and more stuff that will come along the way that i havent hit yet, you'll become a butt-kicking Christian ready to move at any moment. You will have nothing to fear, and you can take a bullet for the Lord as you can see in Acts 7:54-60, where a man named Stephen is being stoned for not denying the Lord.
i hope this makes sense. Sorry if it doesnt.
