thinking back on a yesterday

this is an odd idea/demonstration.
i was wearing a half covenant/half brownsburg tshirt at the regional soccer game on wednesday night. I wanted to support both sides, I was rooting for the guys I grew up with...and I was rooting for the guys I have come to know over the past few years of public school. I was cheering for a cousin, I was cheering for great friends. Some people looked at me and told me how cute of an idea it was. They were encouraging and made me feel like I could fit in. On the other hand, I had people blatantly embarrass me and yell in my face that I was a traitor. This happened from both sides. I could only be accepted if I covered up half of what I stood for. I was not willing to fully devote myself to one side. I was angry, upset that I couldn't just be part of both.
How many times have you heard the sermon about "fence riding?" How many times have you heard Revelation 3:15-16? "I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one of the other! So, because you are lukewarm-neither hot nor cold- I am about to spit you out of my mouth." I got the full experience the other night of fence riding. It finally connected in my mind how offensive it must be to God for us to just "sit on the fence." Since I was not about to pick one side over the other, neither side truly appreciated my support. Granted, Satan is thrilled that I am somewhat on his side when I stumble, but my Heavenly Father can only shake His head at my stubbornness. How long will it be before I push myself onto his side?
