Steps

Ever been frustrated with God, wondering why he isn't responding to your attempts to see or hear or talk to him? I have, I'm frustrated right now in fact. But sometimes I wonder if we get our perspectives mixed up. I just realized that I've been saying "God, I'm making the first step here and am praying and seeking you, why arent you responding!?", but when I look at my actions and see that "first step" i took, I see that what I've really been doing is saying "Lord, I've prayed! I prayed that you would take the first step!!! Why aren't you doing it?!"... Kinda counter-intuitive now that I see it.

Perspective is a funny thing, and I wouldn't be surprised to find out a wrong perspective is one of the most damaging and dangerous things for a Christian to have in his life.
