Coming to Life

Traffic patterns, morning routines, the aisles of the grocery store, a handshake, the sound of heavy shoes on wood floor.

Some things in this life are so familiar to us, they become second nature.

We are called to live with a mindset, a fervor, and a purpose that are outpourings of our relationship with Christ. We are called to live a life that’s rare, but a life that comes naturally. 

When Jesus left earth, he didn’t leave us. He gave us the Holy Spirit to guide us through our thoughts, our emotions, and our actions so as we move through this world, we can live the life God created for us.

Coming to Life: Emotions

Yes, life might be easier if we could simply void out our emotions. But that kind of life wouldn’t be true life, would it? It wouldn’t be the kind of kingdom living that God invites us into. If God created emotions, then we can trust that they are good and serve a purpose. So what are we to do with them? It has been my experience that when we fully acknowledge our emotions, and entrust them with another person, we are on our way to holy feeling.

Coming to Life: Thoughts

When I close the Bible and live my life according to my own will, when things start crumbling and the walls of my life cave in, my first reaction is always to blame God, and it’s never God’s fault.
