Deep in thought

I was reading something for class and it just really kinda hit me. I love what it says:

"Two men invest their master's money wisely and are commended for it; another who merely buries his money is condemned as a "wicked, lazy servant" and thrown into outer darkness (Matthew 25:14-30). Jesus' true followers are those whose lives imitate His: they feed the hungry, clothe the naked, offer drink to the thirsty, and visit the prisoner. These faithful ones are invited into the kingdom of the Father."

This leads me to wonder... why do we not live in a way such as this? Why do we avoid the calling God has so bluntly put upon our lives? Why do we just let go of the things that were at the center of Christ's ministry to squabble about petty details that don't really matter in the grand scheme of things? Why do we seem to place the emphasis on the less important things in life, and ignore the things that are so very urgent?

God's really impressed upon my heart the need to step back, yet again, and really re-evaluate things. I feel as though I am continually having to do this, but I know that it is Christ helping me to grow. I have much to learn still, and yet I feel as though God has already shown me so much.

A new way of life, but what does it look like to look like Christ?
