Then Jesus said to his disciples, ‘Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.
Matthew 16:24NIV
College is one of the busiest times of your life. From homework and classes to new friendships and social events, it’s easy to become consumed with it all. In the middle of job applications, social pressures and various events, it’s easy to put your faith on the back burner.
I remember when I was a freshman, everything was so new and exciting — all these new places, people and things to do. Eventually, the last thing I wanted to do was sit down and read my Bible. The hard thing about being a Christian in the culture today is that nobody slows down. Day after day, you are told to be busy, to go out and fill every second of your day, leaving no room to breathe and talk with God.
But no matter where you are in your walk with God, He’s always there, whispering the same invitation He has for thousands of years: for you to come back to Him.
