I read this devotion last night, forgot to post it for you to read. But here it is…this may be for YOU.

There is a rawness and a wonder to life. Pursue it. Hunt for it. Sell out to get it. Don’t listen to the whines of those who have settled for a second-rate life and want you to do the same so they won’t feel guilty. Your goal is not to live long; it’s to live.

Jesus says the options are clear. On one side there is the voice of safety. You can build a fire in the hearth, stay inside, and stay warm and dry and safe…

Or you can hear the voice of adventure–God’s adventure. Instead of building a fire in your hearth, build a fire in your heart. Follow God’s impulses. Adopt a child. Move overseas. Teach the class. Change careers. Run for office. Make a difference. Sure it isn’t safe, but what is? -Max Lucado

I have experienced true love, cause I know what it’s like to feel hurt. I know what it’s like to be set free, cause I’ve tasted the torture of being captive to my past mistakes and choices. I know what it’s like to be found, cause I know what it feels like to be lost. I know what it’s like to win, cause I have experienced loss in so many different ways. I know what it’s like to be accepted, cause I know what it feels like to be rejected. I know what it’s like to triumph, cause I’ve been devastated many times. I know what it’s like to open doors, cause paying dues eventually pays off…still paying them…I know what it’s like to start fresh and rebuild a life, cause I know what its like to feel destroyed…Life’s journey of character reconstruction…It’s never too late for hope and for love.

Sometimes I just wanna jump right in and start. Sometimes I just wanna get up and say exactly what is on my mind, then and there. Sometimes I just want to ______________________? Sometimes the best decision is not the one we want to do. Sometimes we need to be patient and wait. Sometimes we need to think our thoughts thru before they exit our mouth. When you know, you’ll know. Trust me. I’ve been experiencing this in such a great way. It seems the more I am patient and sensitive to moments, the more I see from a birds eye view. I know when to act! Then the pieces come together one by one.
