I had it wrong all these years…

… and so do so many of those motivational posters about success.  It is never ever about us, our strength, our genious, our sacrifice, our power, but our ability to yield all of it to Him.  That is awesome.  Counter cultural but, really, when we submit ourselves completely in faith in everything to a love this great, there is nothing that tastes sweeter.  If you haven’t experienced this, you can’t imagine what you are missing.  And yet, He provides all the guidance we ever need.  Have you asked?  Sought?  Knocked?  Walked through the door that you might find?

Mark 12:30-31(NIV)

30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’… ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’  There is no commandment greater than these.

James 2:12-13

James 3:9-12
With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in God’s likeness. 10 Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this should not be. 11 Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring? 12 My brothers and sisters, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water.

James 3:13-18

No more fumbling or chasing my tail in circles and thinking this is a sound practice.  You are always the answer and I thank You for revealing Yourself to those who want to know the truth we are all so desperate to find.
