We only have one chance at this thing called life.
We have one chance to live- truly LIVE.
The things of this world will pass away.
What if we gave our lives away? What if we stopped grasping for what our society, our neighbors, our friends, even our family tells us is important?
What if we gave our lives away- all the way?
What if we spent our lives completely on Him?
It's His breath in our lungs- there for purpose- to live this life for Him alone.
"For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it."
-Luke 9:24
There's something new stirring in me. Something more radical than before. What do I hold on to that doesn't really matter? What do I worry about for my kids that is of no eternal importance?
I want to live radically for Him. I want to give my whole life away- holding nothing back.
Why would we not? That's what we were created for!
My world is turning upside down again and I'm not sure what that means, but I'm pretty sure it needed to happen.
He is worth it. He is worth giving our lives away. He is why we were created. He is why.
Oh I love a good stirring! :)
