NEVER Enough!!!

Imagine with me for a moment. Close your eyes and listen to the lapping water near your feet. Smell the sand on the shore. Feel the breeze caress your skin. Taste the salt on your lips. Hear the call of the gulls and see the blue expanse of sky and ocean. go to the water's edge and allow the waves to pool at your feet. Now imagine that's as close as you ever get. There's a net high as the pier and you cant climb it or get over it.You cant get around it. You cant dig deep enough to get under it. You relinquish your experience of the majestic waters to a frothy brook at your feet. Are you satisfied?

Why if we aren't satisfied with never experiencing something as simple as the beach are we often satisfied with never experiencing someone as complex, life-breathing, and all-loving as Yahweh? We aren't satisfied with just sticking our feet in the leftover residue from a rogue wave, we want to jump in, immerse ourselves in its refreshing coolness. We yearn to ride its waves to shore and collect its shells in our pails. but when it comes to God so many of us are guilty of skirting around the edges, being content with just the froth, getting just a puddle jump of His joy even though there's a whole expanse in front of us. 

My prayer is that just a taste of HIS love is NEVER enough. I outright REFUSE to let any person, circumstance, or thing prevent me from pursuing ALL of Yahweh and ALL that HE has for me. I REFUSE to be satisfied with mediocrity. I REFUSE to allow complacency. I REFUSE any person to stifle me in my full-fledged following of Christ. I REBEL against any authority, family member, or friend who tells me Im too FIRED UP! MY JESUS is someone WORTHY of my excitement. I WILL scale any obstacle, dig any well, climb any mountain, swim any ocean to CATCH HIS WILL and follow HIS CALL: Third Day says it best, "just to be with you I would give anything, there's no price I would not pay."

Let me encourage you to folow WHOLEheartedly after Abba. Seek HIM out DAILY: Let NO man, NO thing, NO situation, NO location, NO trial, NO circumstance, NO pastor, NO spouse, NO child, NO ONE and NOTHING keep you from HIS love. HE GAVE ALL for you so YOU could LIVE ALL OUT for HIM!!

Are you still standing at the net or did you find the knife in your pocket and cut through?
