so, my really good friend marc showed me this book in B&N last week called The Barbarian Way by Erwin Raphael McManus. i bought it and just started reading it yesterday. for what i have read so far has been a new outlook on life for me.
"To belong to God is to belong to His heart."
i have never thought about this. i want to know God's heart and what He feels but never really thought of belonging to Him. i don't know why i haven't thought of it before because i want to be accepted by Him and i am accepted by Him.
i just read this passage from the book and i want to share it with you:
"He is not calling you to the same life that everyone else will live. He's not even calling you to the same path that every follower of Christ will walk. You life is unique before God, and you path is yours and yours alone. Where God will choose to lead you and how God chooses to use your life cannot be predicted by how God has worked in the lives of others before you."
wow. i think this says it all about how we want to live our lives. how we see others' lives being fulfilled by the Lord's Will and we want that. we will have it but in a different way. this was good for me to read and be reminded again.
my desire for the Lord is growing more again. thank you Lord.
