New Year's Reflection
I'm not very big on "new years resolutions" - I heard on the radio today that 88% of all resolutions fail because most people set unrealistic goals or dont follow through! Instead of resolutions, I take a moment to look back over the last year of my life - just to reflect on my existance! I examine my spiritual walk - and my physical state of being... and then make efforts to adjust my state of existance!! I spend time with the Lord, just asking Him to reveal to me areas of my life that need to change - and then I ask Him to make the neccessary adjustments to align my life with His purposes!
I am overwhelmed by God's goodness to me this past year and I praise Him for pursuing me, especially during the times that I didn't pursue Him! As I begin this new year: that's my spiritual goal - to just pursue Christ in EVERYTHING I do. I heard a song on the radio this morning by Matthew West that goes like this:
This might hurt, it's not safe
But I know that I've gotta make a change
I don't care if I break,
At least I'll be feeling something
'Cause just okay is not enough
Help me fight through the nothingness of life
I don't wanna go through the motions
I don't wanna go one more day
without Your all consuming passion inside of me
I don't wanna spend my whole life asking,
"What if I had given everything,
instead of going through the motions?"
No regrets, not this time
I'm gonna let my heart defeat my mind
Let Your love make me whole
I think I'm finally feeling something
'Cause just okay is not enough
Help me fight through the nothingness of this life
'Cause I don't wanna go through the motions
I don't wanna go one more day
without Your all consuming passion inside of me
I don't wanna spend my whole life asking,
"What if I had given everything,
instead of going through the motions?"
Take Me all the Way!
I feel God more times than I don't (if that makes sense) - but there are other times when I just feel like I'm going through the motions... just doing enough to get by! I don't want to simply survive! I want to be more than a conqueror!! I'm absolutely sick of going through the motions! I need more -
(more on the physical goals later!)
