Choose love. FLY FREE. It’s God’s way. God calls us to leave what is safe–to let go of our prejudices, our biases, our limits and parameters and well-defined boxes. God calls us to love.
We don’t get to choose. God chooses for us. There are lines we must cross out of obedience to His teachings and message.
My walk is not your walk. How can I tell you what God would have you to do? I can’t. That is His business.
We can be blind–so blind–to the work of God. We can’t choose who we are going to love. We love those who God brings to us, who He puts in our path, who He directs us to seek out. There is wisdom in this. We are kept from planning our own destiny by leaving our destiny up to God
Our thinking is shallow at times. But God is never shallow. He is wisdom personified. In Him is abundant wisdom. Trust is well-placed when it rests in Him.
We need to leave what is safe to step into the unscripted way of the cross–the road less traveled. Our friends and family may not understand, but that is not our concern, they don’t have to. Instead we must have the courage to step out into the center of God’s great big will for us, even if it causes consternation and pain to those who do not understand the way of the cross in us. Safe?
Forsaking all, we follow Christ.
God calls us to unconditional love. We tend to put conditions on who we are going to love. We must recognize these conditions and put them aside. We must be free to love ALL, saint or sinner, friend or foe, believer or unbeliever. NO conditions.
God has given me the tools to write. I must write what God gives me to write. I must ask Him to give me the courage, which I know will come relative to my level of trust in Him and my ability to rest in Him.
