Are you dissatisfied with your walk with Jesus?
Do you sometimes feel dead and empty inside?
Do you sometimes wonder what in the world God's purpose is for you? For your life? For right now?
Do you struggle with fear? Fear of people. Fear of failure. Fear of not doing the right thing. Fear of judgement. Fear of condemnation. Fear of- well, you search your heart and fill in the blank.
Does your heart cry out for reality?
Dear Jesus please, I want to always stay warm and soft, tender-hearted and pliable, never blocking
feelings, never deadening myself to pain so I don't feel it, never blocking
joy and love because it's too scary to let myself open up that much. I want to
always be sensitive to the still, small voice of my Lord, the Holy
Spirit inside of me. To truly walk in the Spirit. To not be ashamed or scared to truly feel.
To truly grieve; to truly love and care.
We don't need more normal,
caramelized (where did that word come from!?), fake-ified, lukewarm
people; we need- the Lord needs- REAL people that are completely
surrendered to His Spirit, filled with His Spirit, and are not afraid, not desensitized, not ashamed. Bold.
Not perfect people, no siree; but all-the-way people, sold out to
Jesus, loving Him with all their heart, soul, mind and strength to the
best of their ability. Loving people with complete
abandon, with the heart of Jesus. Holding nothing back. Jesus' pure,
unadulterated, unquenchable, abundant life and light piercing and
pouring into the lives of others, impacting, making a difference.
It's not unreachable. It's not impossible. It's not!!
