Dear Self,

We need to talk. I mean this in the most loving way possible, but you suck. When are you going to realize that it's not all about you? When are you going to stop focusing on your purpose in life, your dreams, and your problems, instead of His purpose for your life and everything that follows? You've got it all wrong. "For everything, absolutely everything, above and below, visible and invisible,...everything got started in Him and finds its purpose in Him." (Colossians 1:16/The Message)

Also, you're welcome to receive joyfully the gifts of God that come from a relationship with Him, but you need to be seeking that relationship more than the gifts. Go after Him and His heart first, and let His gifts of joy and hope and everything else be a sweet byproduct. "Seek the Lord and His strength; seek His face continually." (Psalm 105:4)

And most importantly, quit being lukewarm.
No one wants your complacency.
There's nothing noble about being mediocre.
It's not enough to be "better" than the secular world. God's love is crazy and relentless. So then you should be crazy and relentless in your pursuit of Him. "Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says." (James 1:22)
Self, you are living in a world full of lukewarm, mediocre people. The type of people that make you so mad you just want to scream. So don't settle for what they've got. Be radical and crazy. Be what Jesus expected of His followers. Don't just refrain from sin, hate it. Be hard-core. Putting nothing before Him, including you. And above all else, love Him. "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind." (Mathew 22:37)
Shape up, self.
There's work to be done.
