Conquering Cynicism

Tonight I heard a man talk about the needs on secular college campuses. I really liked what he had to say. It sounded like something I might be useful in, and definitely something I'd be interested in. At the same time I didn't want to take it too far. After all, it's probably just one of those emotional tugs or experiential moments. It's something that will surely pass with time...or will it? I don't know, and I can't really know either. Perhaps the only way to really find out if it's for me is by making it mine. By simply going out there and doing the thing. If I don't go out and take some sort of action then I will just sit back and be complacent. If I'm expecting God to call me then I'm going to be doing a lot of waiting. God doesn't call, at least not anymore. Last thing I heard He gave us His word and told us to get down to business. He didn't tell us to wait for signs, or to somehow hear His voice or call. In fact, for me to ignore how I feel right now might be to ignore the Spirit. To ignore the Spirit and then to just lounge about waiting will eventually also quench the Spirit. Of course, I realize I've talked about feelings but these are positive feelings for a positive action with positive results. Even if it is undertaken selfishly, God will still use it for His own glory. What God doesn't want is for me to let my cynicism win out in the end. Unfortunately it usually does, will it win again?
