In This World, Not of It.

Hebrews 6:10.

It's everywhere God... and I don't even have to ask if this is You trying to tell me something... because I know it is. You know me... You have seen me... You have heard the cries of my heart. You were there, all along, as I immersed myself in The Face of God, and with it, immersed myself in fear, insecurity, and condemnation... even though that was not the book's point nor the author's purpose.

But I did.
Because I always do.
Always.


I didn't even search Your word. It fell on my lap. Hebrews 6. I have seen it at least 4-5 times since my initial reading last night... all in different circumstances, through different people or means.

You are faithful.


And you have seen my faithfulness. You know my heart. You know I live to please You, to serve You, to love You. Your very own word says it best:

God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them. (Hebrews 6:10).

But there is so much more.
So, so, so much more.


So much more for me to learn, to know, to feel, to love, to see, to hear, to experience, to touch, to meet, to speak, to teach, to live...

God, I'm sick... absolutely sick of living life on the sidelines.

It's crazy, huh... how I could be the world traveler that I am... independent scholar that I am... the "life liver" that I am... and still feel like I'm living on the sidelines. Absolutely insane. I guess that just goes to show that it's all about attitude.

But I'm ready to be put in the game, Lord. I'm ready to be healed by your all-encompassing, all-enveloping, all-consuming love. I don't care what it takes. I will prove to be obedient, God.

I will obey You out of love for You.
I will love others because of my love for You.

Make Your love my foundation for being... for existing... for serving.
