Do I have to?

Today some people at church were having a wedding shower. My mom asked if I wanted to go?
First I thought of blurting out "NO!", But then I thought better. "Do I have to?" I asked in a way that you could tell I didn't want to. I of course didn't go, but I thought about how many times we ask God "Do I have to?". So many people are asked to do amazing things by for God, But they think of blurting out "NO!" and then they ask "Do I have to?". So many times God says "No you don't have to, but I want you to." We are so selfish some times with our talents. Instead of honoring God by say "Sure it might be fun." We say "Do I have to?" Because we don't think about how we could get such blessing out of just say "okay!" instead of telling God no. You don't have to be happy about something you don't want to do you just have to try. So next time instead of say "Do I have to?" try "I give it a try." You'll recieve such blessing from God for doing so.


P.S. I can't wait for Christmas! Can you tell by my new background!
