A good quote for Christians about life...

"In short, God's will is that you and I get happy and holy in Jesus. So go marry someone, provided you're equally yoked and you actually like being with each other. Go get a job, provided it's not wicked. Go live somewhere in something with somebody or nobody. But put aside the passivity and the quest for complete fulfillment and the perfectionism and the preoccupation with the future, and for God's sake start making some decisions in your life. Don't wait for the liver-shiver. If you are seeking first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, you will be in God's will, so just go out and do something. (Page 61)

-Kevin de Young Just Do Something
Quoted from this blog and this book.

i haven't read this book, but i really liked this quote. i agree that many Christians, including me a lot of the time, agonize over decision after decision in life. We/i must simply pursue Christ above all, and see our decisions through the lens of following Christ, not try and see Christ through the ever changing and undependable lens of life's circumstances.
