Aren't we sick of complacency? Sick of the stress, the drama, the lies, the bondage/chains? Sick of broken families and relationships? Aren't we sick of the fleshly desires? Don't we want MORE? Need MORE?
THERE IS MORE. There is Jesus.
He came for all the reasons listed above and more. He came to restore, heal, set free, to seek and save the lost, to bring truth and life.
You CAN change your life, your thoughts, actions, words and you can change the condition of your heart.
If you are drawing in, pressing close to Him and pursuant of His heart. Reading your bible, which gives life and truth. Spending time with people who will encourage and comfort you. Praying, worshipping and praising daily(all day long is even better) Becoming constant in your relationship with abba. I tell you friends, you change. Your life transforms. You begin to look more like Him. Your actions, thoughts and words begin to look more like Him. You begin to see yourself through your Heavenly Fathers eyes. You start to look for ways to press in, all day long. You start to smell the burning of your flesh. Cuz let me tell you, you can't get in realCLOSE(yes, I did that on purpose) to abba and not expect your old self to fall away. To get sick of all the lies, to have such distaste for the things of this world, for the drama, for the stress, for the bondage and chains. It starts to fall away and you even ask God to continue to show you where your old self is still hanging on. Oh, let me tell you friends, your old self WILL try to hold on. He'll twist and draw back and beg you to just leave a little, cuz what is a little? But God wants all of you. He wants to chisel away everything of the old man(woman). He wants to mold you and shape you. He has a great plan and purpose for your life. But you have to let go of the flesh life you are trying so desperately to hold onto.
I can say I am a "christian", but it is not enough to label myself and continue to walk in this old self. NO, it is not enough. I want to be more than a label. I want the world to see His light and His beauty shining through me. I want to carry His peace, His truth and His strength wherever I go. I want my life to point back to Christ. I will not sit in complacency. I WILL get sick and tired of all the lies, stress, drama, bondage/chains, broken relationships and selfish desires.
I believe that when you get sick and tired of it all. Others will take notice of how much change has taken place in your life. They too will seek change, they'll ask questions, they'll wanna know more. You become a beacon of light pointing towards hope, towards life and truth, towards Jesus.
I don't want people to see me, I want them to see Christ through me. I want to reflect Jesus when people look at my life.
I will not be complacent. I will be constant. I will go deeper, closer and press in to my Father's heart.
Will you join me?
Galatians 2:20 - I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
Luke 9:23 - And he said to [them] all, If any [man] will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
