our fears will dominate our lives if we give them permission... our fears paralyze us when we give them permission... our fears strip our ability to dive to depth and center our lives... but we now know that its perfect love that drives out fear. its thru the gospel and the gospel only that we find perfect love.
our failures create a false sense of identity and force to defend ourselves ultimately resulting in our need to constantly raise self preservation as the priority in our lives. we cannot allow our failures to define us... maybe, just maybe, god will use our failures as divine detours in our lives and the lives around us.
i think a new epidemic is on the rise in america and its called busyness. it has become in the norm in my experience that when asked how i am doing or how they are doing the response always seems to be, "man, been so busy." may i submit that busyness is a very dangerous spot to be in? when we are doing so much, we cannot be possibly doing much well, but just as dangerous as busyness is, boredom is equally destructive. it seems like its in the moments of boredom that sin creeps its way subtly and deeply. we need to learn how to say no to some things and yes to other things. how we spend our time defines us...
may we no longer be defined by our fears, failures and poor time management.
may we learn to dream...
