Love you all, praying for you,
One thing I love about Jesus, everything I value in life, anything I want to be or become - He is. Have you ever suddenly realized - that you are off-track? Your life is just missing something, a little off, things are moving, but you feel just a little out of step, off-rhythm? How do you get off track? Most often - it’s lost focus on that which is most important. - a neglect of the basics. Usually it comes back to what you do daily. You can go through the motions – even in PiVAT and PRISM and your Daily Call – without really doing what God told you to do. Without finishing that first thing or that one thing... Is there something that you haven’t finished - that God told you to do? Is there something you haven’t started that God told you to start? Have you failed to continue what God told you to continue? If so, it won’t be long before you begin to feel 'off.' It’s not religion, or oppression, it’s just that you are not functioning as God designed, and directed - and you can feel it. You’re not walking in all that He has for you. Do you have a blind spot in your life? An area that just does not reflect Christ? A lot of things in your life do... but is there an area of compromise, or neglect? For some people their weak spot – is something they are entirely unaware of. For others – they are aware of it, but just don’t value it enough to change. For others – they know what it is, they know they should change, but they refuse to change because they’ve always done it their own way. Or they have rationalized, or justified, and have become hardened in their heart to that change. The devil wants to cement your weakness, to prevent you from walking in the good that God has for you. He will hide it from you, or make you think it’s not worth it to change, or even get you in your lack of humility to refuse to change in an area that needs to change in your life - or you will always be crippled in your spiritual growth, or your natural success. It's the limit of your own making. Praying that you will ask God if there is any area in your life - or practice or habit - that doesn't reflect Him, or reflect him fully. That you would humble yourself – and be willing… That you would surrender and submit any long held beliefs or preferences, or rationalizations - in this area that have prevented you from changing – to God’s will and God’s best for you. Some people just don’t want to... like the rich young ruler. You can feel sorry for him, or you can realize that in life – ultimately we choose what we are willing to obey in, and what we are not. Praying that you won’t leave one single area of your life – unchanged – by His grace. He has power for you to change. The first step is to know what change is needed, maybe even why it’s been so hard to, and finally a humility that leaves nothing left as non-negotiable. So God really does get everything in your life. Praying that you will ask God, and be willing to change any area in your life – that doesn’t fully reflect him. If you will, He will. If you will be willing, He will give you the power to do it. If you will repent (think differently) and turn – He will pour out grace for you to become what you didn’t know, couldn’t do, or refused to become. He’s a God of miracles. There’s nothing too hard for Him, no matter what seems too hard for you. Praying that you will ask, and be willing... and you will see what He can do. Love you all, dad
