Invitation (March 5, 2010) What are you doing today?
I am conflicted. Again. Today an inner tension exists between whispered invitations to unselfish sacrifice and serious pressure from a long to-do list. Can I get it all done? Competing voices masquerade simultaneously as hero and martyr. I don't want to be a hero or a martyr.
Surrender. Spirit of the living God, fall afresh on me! I lay it all down. More than anything, I want to apprehend God's purposes. In the still, secret place of prayer, I am assured that the Lord waits, even longs to reveal his will. Instead of wishing for more hours in the day, I offer back to the Lord the hours He has given me.
I found a note I wrote myself months ago. Don't be afraid of sacrifice. The greatest love is found in the greatest sacrifice.
Where there is love, there is joy. Thank you, Lord, for love. Thank you for direction. Joy for the journey! Philippians 4:19, "And my God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus."
