Why we Run!
This life carries so many distractions. We have our families, our work, our friends, our thoughts, our worries, our lives. We go through everyday searching for something to fill the emptiness. We have success when we try and sometimes failure. We win championships, we get a raise, we start a family, we start a business, we lose a loved one, get fired, get sick, go bankrupt, lose our house. All of these things keep us going and they allow us to fall into routines. These are things we have done our whole life, from how we wake up in the morning to the position we like to fall asleep in at night. However, there is something that pushes us to run when it comes to Christ. You can be a believer or a non-believer and these same things are there. They consists of fear, failure, discouragement, worthlessness,etc. These things, my friends, are lies and we must somehow allow God’s love to cover us. We must let people help us when we are in need, we must learn to swallow our pride when times are tough, and we especially need to understand that life is hard, but Christ has placed people in your lives to comfort you and love you. My favorite moments in my life are the times I spend with my friends, the times we can laugh and joke with each other and the times we can argue and then squash it. My friends have helped heal my heart and Christ has shown me that I can trust people. Willing to get hurt is part of the deal, but if you run from that you will never experience life how Christ tells us in John 10:10 ( Abundantly). I heard an awesome sermon this past weekend and I will no longer allow those lies to keep me from doing God’s work. Friends, I refuse to miss out on the impact God will and has made in the lives of my friends and people around me. Much Love! Selah!
