This morning was like an intense download of Jesus words. The last few weeks Charlotte and I have fallen behind on our Transit Bible reading. Through the two hour journey to Reading in Charlotte’s faithful Rover, I read aloud from the gospels of Luke, Mark and Matthew. The words of Jesus in an intensive blast…
It's pretty heavy if you read His word all at once. You start to realise what He repeats, what He emphasises and the theme of complete devotion, and sacrificial love that flows through everything He says. The theme that jumped out a smacked me between the eyes is living not for myself.
I'm so selfish and comfortable. My biggest failing is my nearly all-consuming concern with keeping myself content and comfortable. The phrase that flew through my head again and again was "Live to Give", over and over. How easilly I sit back and allow others to serve, or how much I love to be praised for the work I do do.
I've been preocupied all morning with ideas of how I can push myself to do better. I would share them with you but I think it's important I practice secrecy. Shhhh xc
