not a fan.

God has been thoroughly convicting me of my "fandom" recently.  I'm reading not a fan. by Kyle Idleman and I am realizing that as much as I desire to be a FOLLOWER of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, I have been acting as a fan.  My sister and I were talking recently about salvation and if we as Christians are becoming too comfortable and taking our salvation for granted by being fans of Christ rather than true followers.  Jesus tells us that we are saved by inviting Him into our hearts as our Lord and Savior.  However, He doesn't stop there.  He also tells us to pick up our cross and FOLLOW Him.  I am wondering how much I have been carrying that cross and how much I have been cheering for Christ carrying the cross. Lord, I pray that you would remind me daily of my desire to pick up my cross and FOLLOW you.
