the call

God puts so many ideas and thoughts into my head.. They've increased a lot lately. Perhaps that is a result of my increased pursuit of the Word lately. But, today so much has entered into my mind.

I am so blessed. Not only with material items, but with the gift of faith. God has placed everything so intricately in my life causing His existence to be so clear to me. So many others don't see Him, and I wonder why it has been so easy for me. I have always had a passion for Christ; I desire to be with Him. Sure, sometimes our walk together has been slower than other times - and I take the blame for that - but, we have always been on that walk, no matter how rocky the path has gotten (and believe me, I have truly been blessed in that the path has never actually been that rocky). Others never have that passion or desire. They may not even see a divine path for walking. Why have I been so blessed with family and friends that encourage me in my relationship with Christ, and just that original internal passion when others have not?

Maybe it is my job to "enlighten" them. Is it just me, or could that word carry two meanings right now?

I want to be the person who shoves money and riches away from her. Who gets rid of things as fast as she can purely to serve the Lord and bless people. I want to give random people things, pay for someone's dinner, anything God calls me to do. I want to serve others with everything my Father has blessed me with.

Father, give me the desire to step out of my comfort zone, and to leave popular culture behind to join yours instead. Give my heart passion for humans, not material items. Give me strength as I attempt to share your goodness with the world.
