Your real life, the one you’re supposed to be living…
Is smaller than you think.
It’s true. If you were truly following Jesus you’d be more focused, you’d let more go, you’d say no to almost every opportunity and your life would carry the aroma of a refreshing simplicity.
Your real life, the one you’re supposed to be living…
Is just the right size for you.
It’s tailor made for your gifts, your passions, your ideas, the way your brain works, your resources, your weaknesses, your dreams. Whenever you cross paths with this path, you stop in your tracks and marvel, “I was born for this.”
Your real life, the one you’re supposed to be living…
Is way too big for you.
You can’t do it on your own. Your gifts, talents, experience, wisdom, prowess, and intelligence are not even close to being enough to make it happen. It will be a God thing, or not at all—and you’ll end up having to do the impossible through his strength, surpassing your own capacity over and over again. You will live on the edge of fear as a way of life.
Your life, in a nutshell.
