Half Heartedly

   Have you ever eaten a piece of chicken that was only cooked on one half? Or how about wore a shoe that only had half of the sole? Or drank from a cup with the bottom missing from it? Of course not!! You would never imagine doing those things. You probably wouldn't drink from a cup without a bottom at even the fanciest restaurant. Why? Because no one is truly satisfied by a half hearted performance.
   Take the Olympic athletes for example. They train 6 hours a day every day for 4 years in preparation for one event. Some sprinters train that long for 10- 11 second race. So, could you imagine training that long to only give half during the actual race?? How ludicrous would that be?!
   Well, we train everyday until we die, reading our Bible and spending time with the Lord, for a possible 2 minute conversation with a non believer, or the 10 minute conversation we have with our friends while others are watching and being influenced, or the 3 hour holdup in the grocery line while younger Christians watch how you respond.
   We seek God daily. Therefore, it is ludicrous to only give half heartedly in our everyday lives. We should live fully for God, and show HIS example, in everything, with everything! Live whole heartedly!
