More

Lately, i've been slacking. I have so many things I don't do that is of importance. I'm not a perfect christain, far from it. Im quiet and nice and kind, but im kinda in the middle, not hot, not cold. the Bible makes it perfectly clear in Revelation 3:16: "So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth." . That is one of my fears, I know I can get beyond that, but I feel like im often lukewarm.. I love Jesus with my whole heart, but I don't act or think like it.BUT tonight is a new night, tommorow is a new day. It's time to do more: Love more, stand up more, fight more, live more, die to self more. It's time for more of Jesus. more time spent at His feet. More time spent in the Holy of Holies. More time spent in the gap for others. I don't just need to read the Bible more, I need to need it in order to survive. It has to become my heart, without it, I will die. It needs to become my breathe, something I can't live without. It needs to become my voice, speaking life not death. I'm not claiming to be just a Christian anymore, i'm claiming to be so madly and deeply in love with God, that I am on a constant chase after Him, running as hard as I can to get to Him, only to realize He's chasing me. I can't sleep until I hear Him, I can't be awake without knowing He's there, I can't move without Him guiding my steps, I can't go on witout His heart beating in me. I am nothing without Him, but im EVERYTHING with Him. I want His thoughts to be constantly in my head, thoughts of life, of hope, whatever is noble and praiseworthy (Phil. 4:8). If it is not excellent, not true, not right, not pure, not lovely, not admirable; it wil be taken captive to the obedience of Christ Jesus (2 Cor. 10:5). God has high standards. It's time to make mine higher, closer to His. It's time to fight for purity, wholeness, Life. Love is a verb, an action. Love demands more than just a feeling, it demands everything. Love is obedience. Love is God. God is Love. Love needs to be displayed in everything I do, everything I say, everything I am. Love is the reason. Love is the answer. It's time, time for more. More of Jesus. The only way this world will change is by Jesus, through us. Not only am I going to do more... i'm calling who ever is reading this to do more. Regardless of who you are, what you believe, even if you are a Christian or not, it's time for a love MOVEment. Want more peace in the world, be peaceful. Want more love, be love. If you want more Jesus in the world, be Jesus... If we do simple things, little things even, if EVERYONE did, because of love, with love, then we can have an impact. But you have to know what the definition of Love is. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails (1 Corinthians 13:4-8a). Love wins.I am going to do more, starting now... because it's not about me anymore, it's about Him.

Really?
