I’m reading Crazy Love by Francis Chan, realizing how often I’ve moved God to the back seat and taken His awesomeness for granted. Why do I settle for second best when I could have the very best? When I take the time to step back and truly think about who God is, who He really is, and what is available to me through the blood of Christ, I can’t help but wonder if much of my time is just chasing my tail. And all the while He’s watching, shaking his head, knowing that if I would but come and lay it all at His feet, everything else would fall perfectly into place.
I like this quote Francis gives in the caption of the video: “Have you ever found yourself wondering whether or not the goal of life should be normalcy?”
Normalcy, complacency, apathy, selfishness…joy robbers, all of them. And yet, I don’t have to let them in.
Lord, thank you for reminding me of the true treasures of life. Thank you for reminding me of the treasure I have in you.
I’ve been challenged and convicted of this so much in the last two weeks…Thank you, Jennifer, for your honesty and for allowing us to see your heart.
Joy, you’re always such a great encourager!
