Today is a big day for my family and I...we put our house up for sale after nearly 10 years. Most people who know me know why.....but here is part of what God has put on may heart after asking him, talking to many friends who care and love God, fasting and listening....we are meant for so much more that the life we have had here.
A big push came from reading the book "One Month to Live", that asked the simple question, how would you live your life differently. The answer was clear.
"For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it." Matt 16:2
Jesus said….
“‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 The entire law and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments.” Matt 22:37-40
"If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' love those who love them. Matt 5:46
He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor. Luke 4:18-19
The mission statement from Jesus is clear.....we are not meant to live the same day over and over again, but meet him as we reach out to others. A lot like the movie Groundhog day...we were meant for so much more
