Do It For Love

What makes you so different from everyone else in the world?'

What is it that makes you radically stand out in the dark lul of a busy, and self absorbed society?



It goes against the flow of culture,

It stands out like the northern star.


It is the radical selfless love that says," I am not my own. I CHOOSE to LAY DOWN MY LIFE. I choose to lay down what I want, to give it up and peruse blessing others.

It is utter surrender to the hand of God, when you stop striving to make your world how you want it to look, turning away from anything that contributes to building your own kingdom.

It is a recklessly abandoned lifestyle against the desires the world pursues.


How radical can you be to show God you love him, that he is first. How far will you go?

15 miles down the road for an hour once a week?


What if, you didn't do ANYTHING UNLESS it brought him glory?

Would it be worth it?

How much more "worth it" would it be, when you consider the fact that the position you will be in for THE REST OF ETERNITY is based off of every moment of this 70 year vapor.

Bang! Like Lighting, Your dead and gone tomorrow. And now every little minute of this life is magnified equaling the result of the next 10 billion years.


What are you going to tell him? That he didn't do enough to reach your heart? That what he did wasn't enough to get your attention compared to the items on your "to do" list?


What is the love of Christ?

What does it look like to live a life worth living?

This life of love.


This laying down of yourself and forceful pursuit of getting up in the morning to LIVE FOR someone else; This is why we are here.

This is what separates you from the rest of the world. An uncompromised, fully devoted, SOLD OUT FOR THE LONG HAUL Death of your self. This is what makes you stand out, and causes the lost to flock to you like birds from the winter land.


ONLY then, will people see that light on a hill you are meant to be.

Only then will you live for love.

Only then does your life have meaning.

When all you do, is love.

Then, and only then, will you be made like Him who is LOVE.


It is the only thing that IS worth it.

Stay faithful to that cause. Persevere in it no matter what, no matter what wrong is done to you, no matter how unfair the circumstances. That DOESN'T MATTER. Only how you choose to GIVE and GIVE and GIVE of yourself.

JUSTICE WILL COME

And so will the rewards.


EVERYTHING ELSE is just going to be burned up in the fire anyway. I see no other choice. But you still have a choice,,, Which one is yours?
