Apparently I have more to share on LOVE…
Something in Francis Chan’s Crazy Love hit me this morning… I’m beginning to understand what REAL LOVE is when it comes to loving people in this world. I would definitely say I love God the most. Then conviction hit me… is loving God a feeling or am I actually loving God in my actions! I mean I watch someone get healed, a new revelation comes over me, anything wonderful happens, I realize something tough is a learning experience and I proclaim “I LOVE GOD!” But what about when nothing happens? If I proclaim that I love God more than people in this world, do my actions show that. Do I spend intentional time with Him? Do I love on (worship) Him like I should? Am I obedient to Him in our relationship?
The thing is God gave me this crazy new family. In which he is using to grow and challenge me in new amazing ways. After talking about posting my blog for a week, reedited my blog for the millionth time, and then finally posting it yesterday. I pretty sure God thought, “Oh good now that you shared that let’s test you in it.” See the thing is I live with 5 other people 24 hours a day 7 days a week for at least the next 7 months. A lot of things are obvious here… we clearly live like a family, we do everything together, we love and… disagree with each other. The beautiful and difficult thing is we are called to be different. We are called to be World Racers, more importantly we are called to be Christ Followers. This means I am committed to these 5 people! I have to love them enough to confront them, to challenge them, to build them up and their mistakes, as they are committed to doing the same for me. I am so thankful for this time to begin learning what it means to choose love and be committed.
