A Dare to Live a Completely Unbalanced Life

A balanced life is over-rated. Really. I mean, who can really balance it all?

Instead of trying, I’ve decided to strive for the opposite….

I want to live a completely unbalanced life:

one that is totally and completely consumed with Jesus.

As soon as my eyes open each day,

I want to think of Him and bend my knees to His sovereign hand.

I want to offer my heart, my day, my everything to Him.

I want Jesus to be what I long for –

the only thing that can satisfy the longings of my heart.

I want an identity so rooted in Him that no sense of self remains.

I want His Word to overwhelm my mind, consume my thoughts,

be my fuel, my source of strength, my very life.

I want to live as an empty vessel waiting to be filled –

a fragrant offering to the giver of all good things.

More of Him. Less of me.

That’s what I want…

a completely unbalance life.

I dare you to join me…

What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. Philippians 3:8
