Follow

Follow

The time is NOW to be obedient to our Father. Abandon your life and refill the body you call a vessel with the Holy Spirit. Move inside of me with your Spirit. Let me walk where you would walk, speak how you would speak, and do what you would do. Show up in my life and just leave my sinful and worldly desires to be trampled on the side of the road and show me what it truly means to be filled with the Spirit and live like you. Where you lead me Lord I will follow.

Gosh, this life we have here is nothing. We are not to worry about the world when we seek you. We are to cast ourselves aside and be refilled with the Holy Spirit and then go after you.

Picking up our cross symbolizes dying to us and losing our lives to gain life in Him. Without You we are nothing, Your love never fails and never gives up, it never runs out on me. It goes on and on. I want to serve and worship you as a vessel that has been wiped clean of worldly desires and doing Your work.

We are so dumb to try to prove God by the things of this world. God is moving so much around us that he doesn’t waste His time by turning stone into bread (Luke 4: 3-4). Greater things are yet to come. God’s plan is so great. Yet, we still get caught up in the little things we ask God for everyday: help me on this test, help my team win, please let that girl notice me today. God doesn’t work like that. The sooner we stop thinking about that and start thinking about how we are going to play a part in God’s plan, the better off we will be.

A lot of times we live in the past of what we already have done and accomplished and we remain stagnant because we have done good things. We are running this race with God right behind us the whole time. Once we stop moving no more of the race will be completed with you standing there not moving. God is not measured and restricted by time periods and the ending of events in our lives. God doesn’t work through short sprints that we get to rest after; He is behind us every step of the way in the race of endurance called life. There is always more that God has planned for us and is calling us to do.
