Why is that?
Is it because they are fun? Funny? They listen to you? They just ‘get’ you. This is a possibility…. Someone once said that ‘a man can be measured not by his accomplishments but by the way he relates and cares for people.’ True? Maybe. You be the judge….
For me, those people are the ones that kick my butt and make me like it. The ones that let me know that it’s ok when I have a million of the wrong questions. The people that let me know that it’s not over, that there is much more than hope when I am a thousand miles from where I need to be. The people that aren’t afraid to be brutally honest and risk hurting me for my own good, for the good of the Kingdom. The people that love me not with their words but their heart. They are in the middle of the action in my life and that desire flows from their eyes…. THOSE are the people that make me feel ‘alive’.
I want to be able to look into your eyes and say, ‘you make me feel alive.’ I want you to be able to look into the depths of me in every waking moment and say that I make you feel alive….
For the sake of your relationships, for the sake of your marriage, for the sake of your children, for the sake of your own faith, make someone feel alive! Get in someone’s face if you have to. Make them feel uncomfortable because you love them and want to see more of Jesus in them. Get dirty. Go wild and pursue the true grit of the Gospel. Make them like it!!! I promise, they will….
Now go, breathe life!!!
