Are you a follower of Jesus?

As I  have taken the church through the fan or follower series at PTCC I have had to ask myself I am living it out day in and day out? 

Do we really think through our actions, our words, our decision and ask ourselves, am I a follower or am I just a fan? Is it all about me? Or is it all about glorifying Jesus?

I know for me it's a struggle daily, to die to self and to live for Christ. And frankly most days I don't live up to my promise I make everyday to Jesus, to die. To just die to self and live for him. It's sounds simple, I leave the house with the best intentions but some where at some point I lose sight, I lose sight of a holy God that wants nothing more than to have a deep intimate relationship with me. I lose the drive to live just for that relationship and nothing else. I know my life is so much better when I do, I know I make better decisions, I make better life choices. But something in this fallen world just drags me back, drags me back to a life filled with bad choices and disappointments, a life chasing a carrot that is always out of reach.

I pray that Jesus forgives me, forgives me for being a fan more days than I am a follower. I pray for you, that you will become a follower and learn that life is so much more when we truly follow Jesus!
