I love reading God's word. I also enjoy writing about it when he speaks to my heart. My intent is not to offend or "guilt" anyone. These are simply the words God leads me to write. More often than not, they speak to my heart as much as anyone else. As the old song said "I'm just a sinner saved by Grace". I'm no better than others because I have Christ...I'm blessed! You will often find these writings as part of my blog. Please feel free to leave comments!
This morning I was reading in Romans. Chapter 8, verse 15 (The Message) says this..."This resurrection life you received from God is not a timid, grave-tending life. It's adventurously expectant, greeting God with a childlike 'What's next, Papa?'". Living the Christian life does not mean I sit around on my hands, bored out of my mind. I think some people perceive it this way. They fear that if they surrender to God, they will lose out on the fun and adventure of life. But this verse says that is not true. It says living for God is an "expectant adventure"!! It's getting out there, getting dirty, maybe getting lost a time or two, but coming to the end saying "Wow, that was amazing".
If you feel living for Christ is "boring" then I'm afraid you've missed something. God didn't call us to be bumps on a log. He wants way more for us than that. The adventures may not always be what we expected, but if we are willing to trust God and let him lead us, we will find his blessings overflowing in our lives.
