My mind is struggling with this one
"Jesus came to comfort the afflicted, but He also came to afflict the comfortable.
Throughout history true followers of Christ have been revolutionaries. As the trends of society have been dictated by the herd mentality, these men and women of God have stood up and said, "Hey, wait a minute. That's not right!" They reached out their hands to people the rest of the world walked by without a glance, they spoke out when shutting up may have saved their lives, they took God places others called "God-forsaken," they picked up their crosses and followed Christ when others cried "Lord, Lord" but did nothing. And for this they were called 'Freaks.'
Proverbs 1:32 NIV tells us "the complacency of fools will destroy them."
-DC Talks, Jesus Freaks: Revolutionaries
Where do you go from here? You can't let the past hold you back, the things you should of done, but see every moment as an opportunity for change, resistance to the world, and for the Gospel to live out through your life. That's what I'm trying at least.
