Day 13: My 21 Day Journal

What does God expect from me?

Have you ever asked yourself that question?  I think we unconsciously live out our answers, but we don't really think it through.  I think we feel lots of guilt when we sin because we think that our performance is what impresses God.  I think we go to church because we think He has a big clipboard and is keeping track.  We give $2 in the STL offering because then at least people see us participating - and it's better than nothing, right?

But what is God really looking for from us?  Why should we strive to do what's right?  Why should we discipline ourselves to go to church and meet with other believers?  Why should we personally sacrifice so that others can hear the Gospel of Jesus?
