October 23

Arriving


I lay down my life that I may have it back again … I lay down my life voluntarily.

John 10:17-18 (NLT)


I am over 50-years old now, and I finally think I am getting closer to what God has in store for me.

I say this because, this morning, I can honestly say the one thing I want is … what He wants. Yes. I want to be doing exactly what He wants me to be doing—whatever, whenever, wherever.

My heart is full for God and to me, it no longer matters what I am doing, or where I am going, or who I am with. If I know it is where God wants, I am elated, excited, energized! It is enough. This is what life is all about. Even at 51!


Jesus asked, “Do you finally believe?”

John 16:31 NLT


Those who love their life in this world will lose it. Those who despise their life in this world will keep it for eternal life. All of those who want to be my disciples must come and follow me; because my servants must be where I am.

John 12:25-26 NLT



Father, show me Your will. Help me to live it. Amen.
