everything

In this blind/barren land of fear:
emotional blockades
relational landmines
spiritual ambush
:tradition/happy activity/rules are not enough to lure a person to death.

If it’s going to cost EVERYTHING—
every little part of who you are
and what you have
and how you dream
and why you do—
If it’s going to cost your whole entire life—
If I’m actually going to die to myself—
I need good reason.
Why would I choose to put in everything?
passionate conviction.
pure, true love. sacrifice&embrace.
meaning that has lived with me.
And, these are what we(you&me) taste and see in Jesus Christ.

Leave everything and follow him?
The reason is Love.

All I can do: All that I know for ministry: All my ideas gone: Everything I can ask:
is that God would move&love&embrace here, now.
o, life that springs from death!

Jesus said, I am the way the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
Come, Lord Jesus.

Sometimes I feel disappointed
By the way I spend my time
"How can I further Your kingdom
When I'm so wrapped up in mine? "...
I know I need to stop living for things in this world (not that they aren't important...it's just that He is so much more!) and start living for Him!
...I'm doing my best!
