My first nephew was born on Wednesday at 2:10AM, which is incredible and I am so thankful. I am so glad that he is healthy and that Tiffany, my sister-in-law is healthy.
Can I tell you a secret? It sucks not being there.
I would love to be there, regardless of what anyone else says about it.
Where am I going right now?
Last night, I was convicted about my cell phone usage and how I have been using it to put a wedge between myself and the Lord.
This morning, I’m sitting down, drinking a cup of coffee and checking my Facebook, and I feel this twinge of conviction where I felt the Holy Spirit whisper, “This is what I’m talking about. I called you to give up everything.”
My response, “Why do I have to give up everything; I’m already missing this?”
His response(get ready, it’s a tough one), “Because I gave up everything for you. I would never ask you to do something I am not willing to do.”
So here I am, drinking a mocha, listening to worship music, on the verge of tears after repenting for trying to separate myself from my Father.
Good Friday is the day when Jesus died on the Cross, while Easter is the day He was resurrected.
Here’s where I’m at, Jesus gave up literally everything for me, and I’m struggling to give up such small things for Him.
I’m going to dive head first into the Lord and strive to give up everything. I’m going to strive to live a life of abandonment always, but especially starting now in a way that I never have before.
May you seek to see what you are struggling to give up, so you can draw even closer to your Father.
To my supporters, thank you for your financial investments and your prayers. My life is eternally different because of the sacrifices you have made, and I will never fully be able to thank you.
