The other day I was looking back at notes from my time at G42 in Spain. As I was flipping through the notebook, I found a page that had sentence after sentence of me talking to myself. Often in class, we would spend much of our time prophesying over ourselves and one another. A couple times, I spent some time writing down words for myself that I felt were from the Lord so that I could look back at them and find encouragement, purpose, or motivation. These words carried more than just commandments or inspiration. For me, these words held guidelines for my life.

 
  
“You don’t have time to be passive…
 You don’t have time to be silent…

You don’t have time to be tired…
 You don’t have time to be lazy….You don’t have time to be angry…You don’t have time to be wasteful…You don’t have time to be afraid…You don’t have time to be weak…You don’t have time to be hesitant…You don’t have time to be disobedient… You don’t have time to be selfish…”

 

To you this might not seem all that impressive or maybe it could be viewed as extreme or harsh. But to me, I see this as a great reminder to not give into the enemy’s schemes and never let myself stop moving unless God tells me to. I have to be in tune with the Lord’s voice at all times and in all circumstances. I continue to learn more and more everyday that this life of mine that I live is not about me. Maybe at the time of writing this I was previously slapped by Andrew Shearman or realized something more about my purpose in life. Either way, I know these few sentences can be read by anyone and people can identify with, regardless of where and what you have done in the past and where you are now in life.
