the NOW, the NEXT, and the FOREVER! . . .
My NEXT step is coming together. One of the reasons for the lack of action on my blog of late has been the way God has been messing me up and speaking into me. I have been convicted and challenged in many ways lately. Some things are beginning to become very clear and I am can see the NEXT in it . . . As I go through this process I have written a few statements that I stand for and I see these as the guiding statements for the NEXT step for where God is taking me.
I stand for:
- LOVING God
- LOVING Others as I LOVE Myself
- Expressing LOVE in tangible ways
- The Church (God’s people) being the Church and knowing what that feels like
- Faith that works and not faith that is earned through works
- People who don’t know God experiencing God through His people LOVING them where they are – this love is not because of them, but because of HIM (Jesus)
- NAKEDNESS (yes that is right – NAKEDNESS) – no need to hide . . . lay it all out and let the truth be known – for that is where we are truly free.
- People getting off of their donkey so they can allow the hurting and dying to ride it . . . You never know when that hurt and dying person could be your Savior
These are the NEXT . . . actually these are the NOW, the NEXT, and the FOREVER!
