After reading Anything, by Jennie Allen, my mind continues returning to a post I wrote over a year and a half ago {which I will post below}.
I don’t mean to keep pushing, “replay”, but God is showing me the value in looking back to remember.
It’s good to remember where we’ve been. It’s good to remember what God has already spoken to us personally and what He’s already instilled in us. It’s good to trace our steps of faith so that we can continue moving forward.
I don’t want to keep learning the same lessons over and over again. I want to build on my faith.
Only let us live up to what we have already attained. Philippians 3:16
Therefore, I need to remember this …
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
Is there some step of faith that God might want you to remember?
Let’s build on the grace He’s given us and keep moving forward.
