So this year, I know Papa is calling me into something new. [but then again, doesn't He always as soon as you start getting comfortable with the distance you're standing outside of the box so many people put you in?]
This past year I have been learning--
I am not called to simply listen to the sweet sound of my Papa's voice.
I am designed to have ears attune to His every whisper, so that I may come to Him with the palms of my troubled hands open, exposing my depraved & inadequate human nature, and choose to remain in His presence while embracing my new status as a child who was simply made for more.
I am no longer called to run after His perfect plan for me.
I was made to passionately chase, to run with utter abandonment in pursuit
of a life saturated by holy obedience to the will of my Father
& of a life lived in a drought of seeking after my own selfish desires and worldly dreams.
I am no longer called to simply have a hunger for His truth.
I was made to crave,,to desperately long not only for an intimate relationship with Papa or the freedom the comes from a life found in Him , not to yearn to know who He is, but to know Him.
So for this coming year I know--
I am not meant to live life with a name like “mediocre.”
I was not called to half-heartedly seek or find safety in fear.
I will no longer be luke-warm.
For I have been simply made for more.
