all I know is there has to be more…
Right?
There is more to life than the rat race. There’s more to life than being on top…being the best. I would actually even go as far as to say that there is more than the work and effort I put into the hundred or so years in this life that I am on the earth.
…this is a continuation of my last blog.
I do not think it is anyone’s fault that I have had performance issues and I do not cast any blame whatsoever. I also know that I don’t have everything figured out–but that is the beauty of mystery.
And I have discovered the beauty of questions. I love asking questions. Questions that make my think and wonder and not always bringing me to a conclusion.
The freedom that I am walking into is a place of many questions, many mysteries and wonders. It’s a place where I find myself secure in who I am and this security isn’t found in people’s opinion of me or my emotions or my circumstance. My security isn’t in a theology or a doctrine. My security isn’t in a church.
My security is in a man. A man who is my beloved, and my friend. A man who led me to and showed me my true father. And so, because of this man…Jesus, I know my father. And because I know my father, I know who I am and I am free. I am secure. And I have peace.
“The goal of our Christian life is to become like Jesus. But we don’t become like Jesus by focusing our lives on Jesus; we become like Jesus by focusing our lives on what Jesus focused his life on. And Jesus focused his life on being a son and revealing the Father and His love so that a world of spiritual orphans could become sons and daughters. Jesus wasn’t sinless because He was God; it wasn’t his divinity that made Him the man He was. Jesus was the man He was because of the Father he had. The person each of us becomes will be determined by who we focus our life on.”
