My way of life is different than the majority of people I know. They really don’t know why I don’t get a normal job or don’t go to college. Yeah, the majority of them think that what I do is great but they always follow up with this question: “When will you be done with this?”
They are waiting for me to get back into "real life". This life that I have chosen is LIFE. To them it seems "too extreme" and "not necessary". This is how we as believers are called to live. Doing crazy things for Christ and getting out of our comfort zone. Going into the deep waters. Reaching the Lost. Spreading God's love. Not living for ourselves but for God. And God desires for us to drop everything and follow him. We have a calling on our lives to go to all nations and make disciples of the Lord. It is about allowing God's glory to be made known through us. It is about him reigning as King of all. That is who he is. He is the Alpha and Omega. No one else is greater or more beautiful than he is. If we don't surrender every area of our life, surrender our will, surrender everything that we are to him...then what are you living for? My life is in his hands. You either are all in or all out.
This is what God has intended for us. Whatever is opposite, is a bubble. I believe that with all my heart.
I used to live in that bubble. I lived in the bubble of what the world calls "the normal life". That includes having a set routine. Attending church on Sunday's but my life didn't match up to the passion that the Bible directs us to have and take example of. I was not benefiting God's kingdom whatsoever and I did what I wanted to do.
If you feel as if there is more to a relationship with God, more to this life you are living, pray that God gives you clear understanding. Faith without action is dead. Pray that he would give you courage to step out of the boat onto the water just like Peter and Jesus.
It is time to be out on the water with Jesus. A place that is not always secure, safe, and comfortable.
It is a choice.
