I just got done reading C.S. Lewis' "The Great Divorce," and Plato's "The Allegory of the Cave," and together they have change my outlook on life.
Why do we honor things in life that, in the end, really don't matter? Why do we go through life searching and striving for personal accolades? Why do we let our self centeredness get in the way of our christ centeredness, and still lie to ourselves about it? Why run and hide in our caves, when we can see that the outside world is filled with God's love and light?
We can pursue things in this world, however we need to keep things in perspective. We as followers of Christ should be a model to others, seek and do all through Christ. When we do all things through him, then we should re-enter the cave and love others and show that the outside light has beauty beyond discription. After all, Jesus came to show us. . .

Josh I just wanted to let you know that you have such a calling on your life. You were created to know God in such intimate ways.
