I wrote this as a caption to a picture on Instagram and feel the lesson it’s about is worth sharing on here as well!
Let’s imagine for a second, you are on the World Race!
(I wrote this for those on the field right now, but I believe this is important for everyone!)
So your out there.
Your living your life for Jesus!
Your quiet times are better than they have ever been! Even with a small lizard your team named Bill watching you as you read your Bible.
Worship is coming to life for you!
The truth of the Gospel is too!
Yet, something feels like it’s missing.
This isn’t the spiritual high you’ve experienced before.
The giddiness that usually comes with these things seems to be lacking.
You begin to doubt your true connection.
You think, maybe I’m not as close to God as I think I am.
But, you are!
The reality of what is happening is you’ve overcome the emotional rollercoaster of a spiritual high!
You aren’t feeling the high high because you’re just staying high!
We have heard it before, your relationship with God can’t be about emotions, and that’s because regular close relationships aren’t either. When you have a best friend you don’t need to go on an extravagant vacation with them once a week to feel connected. A simple conversation is enough.
The enemy might be trying to confuse you, but don’t be confused.
Your connection to God is real and probably more real than it’s ever been!!
I realized this month one of my race and it changed so much for me.
You’re on a steady climb of knowing the Lord more. The lows of life are affecting you less because of your firm foundation in Jesus Christ.
Just remember this one thing: stay close to Jesus!
