I should absolutely be reading right now but... instead I'm sitting in Starbucks listening to John Mayer, drinking some tea, and chilling out until my next class starts.
In all fairness, I did just do half of my homework for my online class this week (justification, yeah?).
Yeah, justification.
I'm sure I do that a lot.
I'm sure you do, too.
But do I really need to justify my actions?
Should my actions be things that require justification?
God is my defender.
If he defends me, should I really need to worry about justifying my actions?
Hmm...
There is certainly something to be said about living above reproach.
There's also something to be said about not worrying about what the world thinks.
Jesus came to bring the Kingdom, to bring life abundantly.
I see the Kingdom; it is at hand.
I seek to live that life he tells me so much about.
But first I have to trust, to stop justifying.
I have to simply be who I am.
Loving Jesus.
Loving others.
The end.
As a side note, I didn't actually watch the video. So, I'm not sure what it looks like...

great post! i really needed this, i have been justifying my actions so much lately, and to people that dont really matter. i need to just do things for me, and others will get over it.
Wow, this post really reached me right now.. opened my eyes a lot! I've totally been trying to justify myself before people who really don't matter lately too... wow.
