easy is attractive

Anything that is easy in life is attractive. Attractive is anything that can get or keep our attention and is something that we want. Easy is essentially stuff that doesn’t take a whole lot of effort to get or accomplish. The problem with that is that you probably won’t respect or take care of something that took you nothing to get. I know that my relationship with Jesus has been tested these past years and it has not been easy but it has been a time of searching my heart and belief system to say, “What do I really believe?” God lets us go through things in our lives to make us stronger and to help us value the things that take effort by going beyond knowing God with our minds and into living a life that shows with our actions. The easy part is knowing God with our minds. the hard part is living it out with our actions. I think a main reason why people fail or turn their back on God is that they just try to have a mental relationship with him instead of living a life that reflects his character. Not an easy thing to do.
