Reading Frances Chan's book "Crazy Love" and keep watching this video. He has a chapter in the book titled "Lukewarm Christian." Got me thinking. I know from God's word that I am not called to a life that is safe, that is marked by me clinging to the balance beam, only to one day stand before my God and jump off ready to be judged for what? I am thankful that God has used the last 2+ years of my life to open my eyes to that and thankful I was given breathe long enough to be able to learn that lesson. The only option is to be a totally sold out, on fire, crazy in love follower of Christ. Otherwise what's the point? He gave HIS ONLY SON for us and we give him safe, mundane, not risking, life?? Wow that just feels sooooo wrong to me.
So what stops us... fear, anxiety, concern about acceptance, desire for wordly things to name a few? To all that I say let it go. God who gave HIS ONLY SON wants us to give our lives. He wants us to give each breathe to praising Him and giving Him the glory for all we do on this Earth. It is such a short time and if there is no God then tell me, what's the point?
So what are you waiting for... What if IT changed your life?
What started out as a place for me to post What if... questions has turned into my journey as I challenge myself to live a life that reflects What if IT changed your life? And the IT being God. My prayer is that my thoughts, my story, my random brain might inspire one other person to live life letting God change them.
