Most People Don't...
Those three words ping-ping in my mind over and over like pebbles against a glass window. I pause, "It's true. Most people don't spend so much time sitting in front of a laptop and writing."
And then it comes, "What's the matter with you? Why can't you relax and be more like most people?" You've had these words thrown like stones at you too, haven't you?
Most people don't...wear themselves out in the kitchen because they believe a meal feeds hearts and fills bellies.
Most people don't...throw off their entire schedule because they take time to listen to the stranger in the grocery store having a hard day.
Most people don't...pour over spreadsheets until their eyes are red because they see numbers as sort of an art and a way to bring order to a chaotic world.
Most people don't do what you do, love what you love, feel the kind of passion you feel about that thing. I started thinking about this recently and I realized we're in good company.
Most people don't...build an ark.
Most people don't...lead people through the desert to the Promised Land.
Most people don't...die on a cross to save the world.
But aren't you glad one person did?
What It's All About
It's not about following our career path
It's about following His call upon our lives. Matthew 16:24
It's not about our self-efforts to live for Him;
It's about letting Him live His life in us. Galatians 2:20
It's not about our attempts at self-improvement;
It's about His transforming grace. 2 Corinthians 5:17
It's not about our self-image;
It's about being conformed to His image. Romans 8:29
It's not about wanting the approval of others;
It's about having His approval. 2 Timothy 2:15
