I am wrecked for Christ

I am wrecked for Christ

Philippians 4:13 NKJV says: I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me.
 
I finished a book recently that I highly recommend by Bill Hybels, Holy Discontent.  In any case, Hybels points out that his own discontent started thousands of years ago when God made an alliance with an ordinary man named Moses and that what wrecks the heart of a person who loves God is often the very thing that God uses when He wants to fire people up to do something about for which under normal circumstances they would never attempt to do. Something Bigger than one’s self!
 
I know too that I have been sold out and wrecked for Christ and that I… we, together, can join God in making right what is wrong with the World. But… if we have been exposed to all that is broken in this world and fail to view it from a Heaven’s viewpoint, which promises that everything is being restored, then we will become stuck into an impossible downward spiral of aggravation and anger that will not only shorten our lives but will make for one lousy existence. In other words, keep doing what you are doing and keep getting what you have been getting. Cussing at the TV only makes the people around you CRAZY too!
 
We, you & me, we need to step out once again in faith as we move forward and see what God is really like… experience His amazing power and ability to do things through us that we might not otherwise ever have the courage, ability or desire to do on our own. I believe this stirring in my soul I personally have been sensing is God saying to me once again, “Go, go tell them… move and watch me move through you.” Our God is cool like that. He pushes us further then we can push ourselves and He blesses us in ways we never dreamed possible when we heed the call.
 
2 Corinthians 3:18 NLT says this, So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord—who is the Spirit—makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image.
 
So if this is true, what are we waiting for? We need to move forward and trust that God has this no matter what the outcome of what He calls upon us to  do. The worse that can ever happen to us, like with Peter, is that we will fall into the arms of Jesus and that ain’t a bad deal.
 
May His peace rush over us as we take the next step in this amazing journey called life!
