One of my friends spoke at FCA last night and I love listening to him talk because you can tell how passionate he is about Our Heavenly Father. So here are a few things he mentioned that really caught my attention and things to think about.
*Who is Jesus to me?
The purpose if time... One purpose for us it to glorify Christ
*Am I going to see Him intimately or a buddy I hangout with from time to time or an acquaintance?
Is my relationship with Jesus factual or friendship?
*How well do you know Jesus? In James, Jesus enemies even know about him.
2 Corinthians 5:20-21
"20 We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God. 21 God made him who had no sin to be sin[a] for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God."
*If you're not living the life Jesus called you to, why would others around you?
God gave His life to give us life. Christ surrenders his life for 33 years.
I know right now in my life I'm asking God "what's next?" because it's another transition time in my life. But I really want to give my heart and my mind over to God... So I do ask to give me one pure and holy passion, one magnificent obsession, and one glorious ambition for my life. Lord, I pray that I do know and follow hard after You so I can enjoy the journey You created for me as Your disciple. You are my Leader and my Comforter and my Protector and my Provider and my All in All. I love you Jesus.
This is an amazing song and I hope you take a moment to really listen (or read) the lyrics.
Give me one pure and holy passion Give me one magnificent obsession Give me one glorious ambition for my life To know and follow hard after You
Give me one pure and holy passion Give me on magnificent obsession Give me one glorious ambition for my life To know and follow hard after You
To know and follow hard after you To grow as your dicsiple in your truth This world is empty, pale, and poor Compared to knowing you, my Lord Lead me on and I will run after you Lead me on and I will run after you
Give me one pure and holy passion Give me one magnificent obsession Give me one glorious ambition for my life To know and follow hard after you To know and follow hard after you To grow as your disciple in the truth This world is empty, pale, and poor Compared to knowing you my Lord Lead me on and I will run after you
Lord to know and follow hard after you And to grow as your disciple in your truth This world is empty, pale, and poor Compared to knowing you my Lord Lead me on and I will run after you Lead me on and I will run after you Lead me on and I will run after you
