For the last 5 years I have had a friend…who at times was one of the closest to me, always listened and was always faithful. But seasons change…life pulls us in different directions…and when we listen our destiny calls through the Holy Spirit and asks us to lay certain things down that don’t feed the single thing He has called us to.
I am beginning to realize what could actually be if I/we were to commit everything to the single cause He has called each of us to (our destiny’s). How powerful could our lives be if everyday we lived every moment driven and lead by the Holy Spirit? If I am honest…I am realizing or better yet now understanding just what that actually means…Its the force that makes me as questions like ‘How much do I actually love Jesus?’ If I am honest Im convinced that my life would look much different than it does if I truly loved Him for who He is not what He can do for me.
Francis Chan wrote in Crazy Love ‘For much of my life I was satisfied with my relationship with God, I was still giving Him leftovers [instead of the best] but because I was giving Him more than the people around me I figured I was doing ok.’
For the last 5 years I have had a great friend…we have spent quiet, secluded, uninterrupted intimate time together many times. But sadly that time has come to an end…our destiny’s have diverged and if I am truly listening that relationship has become more of a distraction rather than a catalyst to chasing Jesus. Seasons change, and they are usually weird, its rare that we have clarity this side of a season…but always on the other-side things seem to make sense and we see what He was up to the whole time. There’s always a plan, cause, and a calling for each of us, I am just now embracing the reality that sometimes I am scared to take a risk to find out what the next step looks like.
I know that there is a single thing Jesus called me to do…and yeah part of my days, weeks, and years have been spent doing that very thing…something tells me its time to grab a hold of that one thing and run with it…hope you will join me…I think this is truly the heart of a PC…
More tonight…
